There are three WNBA contests on Tuesday's slate, including a Las Vegas Aces vs. Los Angeles Sparks showdown at 10 p.m. ET on NBA TV, as Cameron Brink makes her season debut for the Sparks after coming back from an ACL tear.
But even with Indiana's Clark out with a groin injury, and the Sky's Reese sidelined with a back issue, Chicago managed to again sell out the United Center for last Sunday's game against the Fever, which is the pair's second Chicago-based matchup this season.
It was a forgettable night for the Chicago Sky on Thursday as they suffered an embarrassing 95-57 loss at the hands of the Seattle Storm. The 38-point loss marked Chicago’s biggest defeat of the season, and it saw them fall to 7-17 at the midway point of the campaign.
Though still 11-14, the Sparks have pulled within one game of the eighth-place Washington Mystics and 1.5 games of the seventh-place Las Vegas Aces. They quietly have the fifth-best offensive rating (104.7) in the league, Cameron Brink is closing in on a return and they have the fifth-easiest remaining schedule.
Heading into Monday, Western Conference teams traveling east had a 19-42 this season, while East teams going west were 26-29.
Ogunbowale was even more impressive. The four-time All-Star made WNBA history by registering a 15-point, 10-assist double-double in the first half. Ogunbowale finished with 20 points, a career-high 14 assists, a steal and two triples.
