Injuries plague both teams ahead of the Tuesday WNBA showdown in LA
The Los Angeles Sparks and Atlanta Dream have had a contrasting start from each other so far. On one hand, the Dream currently sit second in the Eastern Conference, showcasing early dominance. Meanwhile, the Sparks are second-last in the West, dealing with inconsistency.
Sparks have had a rough start primarily because of the piling of the injuries. Persistent injuries have forced the coach into constant strategic reshuffles. This gave little time for the side to perform accordingly.
They hold a rough record of 2-3 and will look to improvise. Still, their injury-hit performances have shown glimpses of promise. With a fit squad which isn’t far away, the Sparks can do better.
