Overview

  • Kelsey Plum is out of tonight’s matchup against the Seattle Storm due to a left lower leg injury, marking her first missed game of the season and leaving her return date uncertain.
  • Cameron Brink (left knee) and Rae Burrell (right knee) remain sidelined while Odyssey Sims is unavailable for personal reasons, deepening the roster shortages.
  • Before her injury Plum was averaging career highs of 20.9 points, 5.6 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 37.4% from three.
  • Dearica Hamby, who formed the WNBA’s highest-scoring teammate tandem with Plum, will carry increased offensive responsibility alongside reserve guards.
