at Phoenix, 1 PDT

Channel 4

* Site--America West Arena, Phoenix.

* Records--Sparks 10-5, Mercury 4-10.

* Record vs. Mercury--2-0.

* Update--Today’s matchup is the third Los Angeles-Phoenix meeting in 11 days. Spark Coach Orlando Woolridge is still down to 10 players. Starting point guard Ukari Figgs tried to practice Friday for the first time since she sprained her ankle July 1, and couldn’t jump. Gordana Grubin probably will start for her, Woolridge said. Phoenix, which reached the league finals last year, is rapidly running out of games.
