GAME LOG
Plays through ankle tweak Nelson-Ododa provided 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 98-69 loss to the Aces.
Impact Nelson-Ododa started with Brittney Griner (foot) unavailable, and made the most out of the increased opportunity. However, she did tweak her ankle a couple of times this game, which required multiple trips to the locker room, but she was cleared to return on each occasion. It wouldn't be shocking to see her pop up on the injury report ahead of Friday's rematch with the Aces.

Impact Hadn't it been for one missed free throw, Nelson-Ododa would've had a perfect shooting performance in what was her first start since July 14. She moved to the first unit due to the absence of Tina Charles (rest), but it's unclear if she'll stay in the first unit for a prolonged time. Nelson-Ododa is averaging 9.0 points and 3.7 boards per game since the All-Star break.
