The Dream made a late season roster move with the signing of Kamiah Smalls amid multiple injuries to key players.

Griner's injury comes at an unfortunate time for Atlanta. The Dream are in fifth place in the WNBA standings, but with a win against the Mercury, they could jump into the top four and be positioned for homecourt advantage in the playoffs.

Brittney Griner made contact with an official while arguing a foul call on Wednesday night, which led to her quick ejection.
