Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve did not rule out forward Seimone Augustus playing against the Atlanta Dream on Thursday at the Xcel Energy Center.
Augustus was not at practice Wednesday or Tuesday. She missed the team's most recent game, a Sunday win over the Seattle Storm, for "personal reasons."
Reeve has said the team would handle the situation "day by day."
Augustus is averaging 11.5 points and a career-high 3.9 assists this season.
Guard Jia Perkins started in her place Sunday and played a season-high 36 minutes.
