Ruled out for Saturday Mack (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's season opener against the Storm, Matt Cohen of Winsidr.com reports.
Impact Mack didn't practice Thursday due to an undisclosed injury, and it seems this same issue will keep her sidelined for the opening game of the campaign. The absence of Mack means Kalani Brown is likely to see more minutes in the frontcourt and might even get the starting nod due to the team's lack of frontcourt depth since Murjanatu Musa hasn't reported to the team yet.

Dealing with undisclosed injury Mack didn't practice Thursday due to an undisclosed injury, Desert Wave Media reports.
Impact Mack played 17 minutes in last Sunday's 84-79 preseason finale against Golden State, but she appears to be in danger of missing Saturday's season opener against the Storm. If she doesn't suit up, Kalani Brown would be in line for a big increase in playing time at center Saturday, as Murjanatu Musa hasn't reported to the team yet.
