The Los Angeles Sparks return home from a three-game road trip having gone 0-3 as they host the Atlanta Dream on Thursday. And there are some much needed reinforcements on the way.
LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Sparks have been without All-Star guard Kelsey Plum for the last 10 games due to a leg injury. There’s been no change in Plum’s status as of yet ahead of the team’s game against the New York Liberty on Tuesday.
Despite an offseason in which the Sparks added quite a bit of veteran talent, including Nneka Ogwumike and Erica Wheeler, they have not had the start to the regular season that they were expecting.
The Los Angeles Sparks’ playoff hopes took a major hit last week when star guard Kelsey Plum suffered a lower leg injury. According to the team, Plum is expected to miss at least four weeks, which puts her speculative return somewhere around July 22, or about eight games.
