No. 8 LA took a big hit this week, as Sparks star Kelsey Plum landed on the injury list with a lower leg knock ahead of tonight’s clash with No. 10 Toronto.
Plum is expected to miss at least 10 games while Cameron Brink (ankle) is ruled out indefinitely. LA will lean on reserve guard Rae Burrell and newly signed Kiana Williams plus vets Nneka Ogwumike, Dearica Hamby, and Ariel Atkins.
Plum has been a statistical force in 2026. She’s averaging a career-best 23.9 points and 6.4 assists per game while shooting 80.6% from the stripe.
The Tempo also enters tonight’s clash shorthanded. Toronto is missing top scorer Brittney Sykes (plantar fascia) and rookie Kiki Rice (ankle).
Marina Mabrey has been carrying the backcourt load, registering a game-high 23 points in Monday’s 94-87 loss to Atlanta to complement forward Izzy Harrison’s 21-point, 10-rebound double-double.
“As one of the leaders, I need to figure out a way to help us come out ready to play,” Mabrey said this week. “Then also everyone else in that starting lineup, we got to come out and just be ready to play.”
