While \u201con schedule\u201d is a positive phrase, the emphasis on the \u201clong season\u201d suggests the medical staff is prioritizing her long-term safety over the Week 1 spotlight. If Smith isn\u2019t cleared for the contact required to battle <strong>Aliyah Boston<\/strong>, look for <strong>Jessica Shepard<\/strong> to shoulder even more defensive responsibility in the paint.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Aziaha James Spark:<\/strong> Seeing <strong>Aziaha James<\/strong> back in drills is the biggest win of the day. Her preseason performance proved she is the engine of the second unit, and her return to the floor suggests the ankle sprain isn\u2019t as severe as initially feared. Having her length and scoring available is a massive relief for a backcourt that needs to stay fresh against <strong>Caitlin Clark<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transitioning to Game Mode:<\/strong> With 15 practices in the books, the \u201ctapering off\u201d phase has begun. Fernandez\u2019s decision to treat Friday as a shootaround suggests the tactical foundation is set. The focus now shifts from installation to execution, particularly the defensive coverages designed to disrupt the Fever\u2019s transition game.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Mask Factor:<\/strong> The individual work Smith is doing on the side is likely part of her adjustment period with the protective mask. Playing at her high-intensity, \u201canchor\u201d style requires clear peripheral vision, and these solo sessions are critical for her comfort level before she\u2019s thrown back into the live-action \u201cfire.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Home Opener Looming:<\/strong> While the focus is on the ABC matchup in Indy, Tuesday\u2019s home opener against the <strong>Atlanta Dream<\/strong> serves as a reminder of the frantic early schedule. Getting the roster healthy for the flight back to Arlington is just as important as the outcome on Saturday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>ARLINGTON, Texas \u2014 <strong>Dallas Wings<\/strong> head coach <strong>Jose Fernandez<\/strong> offered an encouraging update on the statuses of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/wnba\/players\/s\/smithal01w.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=dallashoopsjournal.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-05-07_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Alanna Smith<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/wnba\/players\/j\/jamesaz01w.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=dallashoopsjournal.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-05-07_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Aziaha James<\/a><\/strong> following Thursday\u2019s practice, with both players continuing to work back from injuries two days before Saturday\u2019s regular-season opener at the <strong>Indiana Fever<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think they\u2019re progressing well,\u201d Fernandez said. \u201cAziaha back today looked good, and I think Alanna\u2019s on schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>James, who suffered a sprained ankle during Tuesday\u2019s practice, returned to the floor Thursday and went through drills with her teammates. Smith, who is recovering from a nasal fracture sustained Sunday in the preseason finale against the <strong>Las Vegas Aces<\/strong>, was not part of the live portion of practice and went through individual work on the side.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alanna Smith\u2019s Availability for Saturday Remains Unclear<\/h2>\n<p>Fernandez did not commit to a specific timeline for Smith\u2019s return when asked whether \u201con schedule\u201d meant she would play in the opener at <strong>Gainbridge Fieldhouse<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, she\u2019s on schedule. We\u2019ll see,\u201d Fernandez said. \u201cI\u2019m not a doctor or an athletic trainer. She\u2019s on schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Wings are going to prioritize player health over pressing to be available for one game. The expertise of the medical staff will be relied on to make any determination. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThings continue to progress. I hope she feels good, and it\u2019s a long season,\u201d Fernandez said. \u201cWe\u2019re not going to put anyone in a position where they\u2019re not going to be successful individually, but also create any damage for them as a player and as a person. That\u2019s the most important thing. We\u2019ve got a really good medical staff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smith took an elbow from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/wnba\/players\/w\/wilsoa01w.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=dallashoopsjournal.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-05-07_bbr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">A\u2019ja Wilson<\/a><\/strong> on Sunday at Moody Center, an impact that left her mouth bleeding and ended her night after just 12 minutes. She had been the most efficient player on the floor for either side at the time of the injury, finishing with 12 points, 7 rebounds, and a team-high plus-19 on 5-of-6 shooting, including 2-of-2 from beyond the arc. <\/p>\n<p>The reigning WNBA Co-Defensive Player of the Year will need to wear a protective mask once cleared to return to game action, as <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dallashoopsjournal.com\/p\/wings-injury-update-alanna-smith-aziaha-james-fever-opener\/\">Dallas Hoops Journal<\/a> <\/strong>noted<\/span>. Smith joined the Wings on a three-year max contract this offseason as the franchise\u2019s signature free-agent addition and has been treated as the frontcourt anchor throughout training camp. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aziaha James Back On the Floor After Tuesday\u2019s Ankle Sprain<\/h2>\n<p>James\u2019 return to drills represents a meaningful step forward after she was held out of both Tuesday\u2019s and Wednesday\u2019s sessions. The second-year guard was Dallas\u2019 leading scorer in the preseason finale at Moody Center, posting 18 points off the bench in the 101-84 win over Las Vegas. She averaged 17.5 points, 2.5 assists, and 3.0 steals in 24.0 minutes per game during the preseason. <\/p>\n<p>With the game being on Saturday, the Wings do not need to submit an injury report until Friday evening. A formal designation for either player\u2019s availability against the Fever will be known at that time. <\/p>\n<p>James, who averaged 7.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 17.7 minutes as a rookie, has been a standout throughout training camp and preseason.  <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jose Fernandez Sets Tone for Final Practice Before Opener<\/h2>\n<p>Thursday\u2019s session was the Wings\u2019 second consecutive day of measured work after stretches of more demanding training camp practices. Fernandez said the team will treat Friday more like a shootaround given the early Saturday tip-off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe went pretty hard the last two days, so now tapering off as it gets closer to game day,\u201d Fernandez said. \u201cWe\u2019ll treat tomorrow almost like a shootaround. It\u2019s an earlier game, so we won\u2019t shoot around the day of the game. So it\u2019s just making sure we\u2019re on the same page with the things we want to do on both ends of the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thursday marked the team\u2019s 15th practice of training camp, including shootarounds, and that Friday will likely be when focus shifts entirely to preparation for Indiana.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Up Next<\/h2>\n<p>The Wings open the 2026 WNBA regular season against the Fever on Saturday, May 9, at 12 p.m. CT in Indianapolis. <\/p>\n<p>The Wings make their home debut Tuesday, May 12, at 7 p.m. CT against the <strong>Atlanta Dream<\/strong> at College Park Center.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/dallashoopsjournal.com\/p\/wings-injury-update-alanna-smith-aziaha-james-fever-preparations\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DHJ Quick Take: Monitoring the Final Countdown The Long View on Alanna: Jose Fernandez is playing it close to the vest regarding Alanna Smith.
