SPARKS TONIGHT

at Phoenix, 7

Record vs. Mercury (2006) -- 3-1.

Update -- After playing nine of their last 10 games at home, the Sparks travel to Phoenix for the start of a seven-game trip. Point guard Temeka Johnson had to be carried off the court after suffering a leg cramp during Tuesday’s 63-61 loss to San Antonio. Johnson, who was playing in only her second game of the season after undergoing knee surgery, is expected to start tonight. The Sparks have lost a franchise-record seven consecutive games. The Mercury has won five of its last seven.
