Caitlin Clark, averaging 21.2 points and 8.2 assists for Indiana (11-8), missed the game with a back injury but shouldn\u2019t be sidelined for long according to coach Stephanie White.<\/p>\n

Kelsey Plum, second in the league with a 23.9 points per game scoring average, is expected to miss at least four weeks for Los Angeles (8-10) with an injury to her left leg.<\/p>\n

Nneka Ogwumike totaled 17 points and seven rebounds and Dearica Hamby scored 15 for the Sparks, who became the first team in league history to surrender 110-plus points in back-to-back games.<\/p>\n
