The Los Angeles Sparks, led by Dearica Hamby, square off against the Phoenix Mercury for the second time this season on Friday. The Sparks versus Mercury clash is the first game of a spate of two WNBA clashes on Friday.
The Sparks are (4-13) for the season and by most underlying stats, one of the worst teams in the WNBA. They rank 11th in the league in points per game (77.9) and their 107.5 defensive rating is only good enough for 10th in the league.
Trending
A season-ending injury to their star rookie Cameron Brink may have ended their hopes of a successful season for good, but they remain hopeful to snap a six-game losing streak that has seen them plummet to 11th place in the WNBA and dead last in the Western Conference.
The Mercury, on the other hand, are doing much better compared to their Western Conference counterparts. They are (8-8) to start the season and are showing promise under the leadership of off-season acquisition Kahleah Copper. Veterans Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner are still effective players even as veteran sharpshooter Taurasi's stats have diminished.
The Mercury led by experienced head coach Nate Tibbetts will be looking to bounce back from their recent seven point defeat to the Lynx that saw them plummet to sixth place in the WNBA and fourth in the Western Conference standings.
With a lot of star power on both sides, fans will be anticipating an enthralling clash between the two teams.
