Sparks prepare to face Fever after recent loss to Tempo
Summary

The Los Angeles Sparks (8-9) are set to face the Indiana Fever (10-8) on Saturday after losing to the Tempo. The Sparks struggled in their last game, largely due to Marina Mabrey's record-tying 53-point performance. With star players Cameron Brink and Kelsey Plum unavailable, the Sparks need to regroup to improve their standings. Meanwhile, the Fever will play without Caitlin Clark, complicating their lineup ahead of the matchup.
