Delle Donne was deemed questionable to play in Sunday’s game after an MRI on Monday revealed a herniated disk in her back, something head coach Mike Thibault said received “extensive treatment” in between Games 2 and 3. She was seen warming up on the Mohegan Sun court in uniform ahead of the 3:30 p.m. ET tip-off.

Ariel Atkins is also a go after being deemed questionable earlier this week due to back spasms.
The best-of-five WNBA Finals are tied at a game apiece.
