Plum's Ankle Sprain Tests Sparks' Depth Ahead of Mystics Showdown

Los Angeles Sparks star Kelsey Plum sprained her ankle in practice and will miss at least a week, forcing the team to lean on its depth as they prepare for a clash with the Washington Mystics (and a matchup with the Connecticut Sun). Plum, who leads the league with 26.8 PPG and adds 6.3 assists on high efficiency (58.9% FG, 48.8% 3PT), will be evaluated in a week, prompting teammates like Nneka Ogwumike and Dearica Hamby to step up as Sparks adjust offensively.

Kate Martin Hit Free Agency: Potential Landing Spots Include Aces, Mystics, and Fever

Golden State waived Kate Martin on May 7 as rosters tighten, opening the door for several suitors. A reunion with the Las Vegas Aces is plausible, given her previous stint and off-court chemistry; the Washington Mystics could use a 3-and-D wing after Cotie McMahon’s injury; and Indiana Fever could pursue Martin to honor Caitlin Clark friendship, aided by non-guaranteed/development-contract slots. All options hinge on roster fits and contract structure, but a new home for Martin seems likely soon.
