Sparks Beat Sun, 77-54

Forward Delisha Milton-Jones of the Sparks tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee in February, and it was thought she would have to sit out the WNBA season.

But she underwent treatment and, wearing a knee brace, played 14 minutes Thursday night in a 77-54 exhibition victory over the Connecticut Sun in front of 3,011 in Uncasville, Conn. She scored three points and had four rebounds.

The Connecticut Sun and Mohegan Sun Arena will play host to the 2005 WNBA All-Star game. The decision was made Thursday at the league’s Board of Governors meeting in New York.

This year’s All-Star game was canceled because of scheduling conflicts with the Summer Olympics.
