The LA Sparks face significant injury woes as the WNBA season progresses, with key players like Kelsey Plum now on the injury list. Head coach Lynne Roberts announced Plum's lower leg issue lacks a clear recovery timeline, raising concerns about the team's competitiveness. Plum, averaging 20.9 points and 36 minutes per game, is crucial to their offensive strategy alongside Dearica Hamby. In light of this uncertainty, the Sparks signed Grace Berger to fill the gap caused by Plum's absence, indicating their urgency to maintain performance during this difficult stretch.
"It's a lower leg issue," Roberts said. "She had imaging done Sunday and, at this point, we don't know. One thing about KP is she does rehab..."
Plum has been the best player for the Sparks this year. She's averaging 20.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, which are career numbers for the seven-year veteran.
