Sparks Notes: Kelsey Plum Sets Record, Breanna Stewart Shares Injury Update Prior to LA Rematch
Despite the Los Angeles Sparks' 105-97 loss to the New York Liberty at Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday night, four L.A. starters finished with double-digit points. Kelsey Plum led with a game-high 26 points, along with five rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes — and broke a single-season franchise record in the process.
Prior to the defeat, Liberty star forward Breanna Stewart set a new return date goal — from a lower leg injury suffered against the Sparks on July 26. The injury occurred less than four minutes into the game while the All-Star forward was jogging up the court on a transition sequence. Stewart had subsequent imaging done and nothing major turned up.
