Overview

  • The Sparks announced Wednesday that Plum is out with a lower left leg injury and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, a timeline set by the team’s public relations account.
  • That four-week window likely sidelines Plum for at least 10 regular-season games and effectively rules her out of the WNBA All‑Star Game on July 25.
  • Plum is having a career-best season, averaging 23.9 points and 6.4 assists with highly efficient shooting, which makes her absence a major hit to Los Angeles’s offense.
  • The team is already shorthanded because reserve forward Cameron Brink remains sidelined with an ankle issue, leaving the Sparks to redistribute scoring and minutes to players such as Erica Wheeler, Ariel Atkins and Rae Burrell.
  • How the Sparks respond over the next month will shape their playoff chances and coach Lynne Roberts’s rotation decisions, and the club will provide a fresh medical update after the four-week re-evaluation.
