Kelsey Plum injury opens opportunity for Sparks' Wheeler and Burrell

Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum is expected to miss at least four weeks due to a leg injury suffered last week. Plum, who leads the team in scoring and assists, will require teammates like Erica Wheeler and Rae Burrell to elevate their performances. Wheeler previously averaged 14.7 points and 5.0 assists per game during Plum's earlier absence this season. Burrell, averaging 11.9 points this year, is also anticipated to take on a larger role in Plum's absence. Courtney Vandersloot returned to the Chicago Sky lineup, contributing to a record-breaking offensive night against the Portland Fire.
