The LA Sparks head to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday, Sep. 4 to take on a playoff-bound Indiana Fever. The Sparks are out of the playoff race and have pride to play for.
The Fever have seven games remaining in the 2024 WNBA regular season, and fine-tune their plans for the postseason. The side will be pleased with their run so far, especially after their 1-8 start that saw most write them off early in the season.
The Sparks looked like a promising side before a season-ending injury to rookie Cameron Brink dented their postseason chances. They could notch up only seven wins in 32 games, marking the team with the worst record this season. Both teams have met twice this season and have taken a game each.
