SPARKS TONIGHT

at Sacramento, 7

Site -- Arco Arena.

Radio -- 690.

Records -- Sparks 11-10, Sacramento 15-7.

Record vs. Monarchs -- 1-1.

Update -- Which Sparks team will show up for tonight’s game, the one that easily handled the first-place Monarchs, 81-74, on June 11 at Staples Center, or the one that was crushed, 81-53, one week earlier in Sacramento? The Monarchs will be missing All-Star forward DeMya Walker (sprained right knee), but All-Star center Yolanda Griffith won’t make the job any easier for the Sparks if Lisa Leslie isn’t able to play. Leslie, who averages 14.7 points and 6.8 rebounds, injured her left knee during Tuesday’s loss at Phoenix. An MRI exam Wednesday revealed no serious injury, and her status is game to game. Sacramento has led the Western Conference throughout the season, but has won only four of its last seven. This will be the third of eight consecutive road games for the Sparks, who are 4-5 away.
