Brittney Sykes of the Los Angeles Sparks and Kayla Alexander of the Minnesota Lynx represented the Syracuse Orange this week in the WNBA. Both players’ teams went 2-1, respectively, on the week.
During the fourth quarter of Sunday night’s Sparks-Sky match-up, Sykes took a knee to the stomach and was assisted off the court by trainers. She did not return to the game. Prior to being injured, Sykes recorded 11 points and three rebounds. The team announced Sykes will undergo tests Monday to determine the injury and the extent of it. The Sparks were able to scrape up a six-point win despite losing Sykes and Sydney Wiese, who also left the game with an injury.
