Share

AT SEATTLE

When: 7.

Where: KeyArena.

On the air: Webcast, wnba.com.

Records: Sparks 2-4, Storm 5-2.

Record vs. Storm (2008): 2-1.

Update: The Sparks expect to be without center Lisa Leslie through at least July 11. She suffered a sprained right knee last week. The Sparks are also missing forward Candace Parker, who expects to return from maternity leave within six weeks. But after his team ended a four-game losing streak as four players scored in double digits and held Phoenix to 25.5% shooting on Sunday, Coach Michael Cooper said the Sparks can get by without two of their Olympians. “I’m very confident,” Cooper said, adding that tonight’s game “will really tell us where we’re at.” The Storm has the best record in the Western Conference and is led by forward Lauren Jackson, who averages a league-leading 23.4 points a game.
