Cameron Brink is out for the Sparks with an ankle injury. Aaliyah Nye is out with an ankle injury. Dearica Hamby is probable despite a knee issue.
The Valkyries don’t have any players listed on their injury report.
The Valkyries obviously have the ability to blow the doors off, and they’ll be eager after blowing that game to the Fire. The Valkyries also need a win to lock up the second seed. However, the Sparks will be playing hard to send off Ogwumike with a victory. The crowd will be packed, and energy will be high. Also, the underdog has covered 4 of the last 5 games between the Valkyries and Sparks. The Sparks have also had some positive results over the last week. This isn’t a team that’s rolled over, and that won’t start in Ogwumike’s last game. Give me the points.
