Breaking: Four-time WNBA All-Star Kelsey Plum suffered an ankle sprain in practice today and will be evaluated in one week. Plum is currently leading the league in scoring at 26.8 PPG.

Note that Sabrina Ionescu's injury from the preseason was a foot; the back is a new inclusion on the IR

Notable for tomorrow: NY's Sabrina Ionescu (back; soreness), Betnijah Laney-Hamilton (personal) & Satou Sabally (illness) are all listed as questionable. Leonie Fiebich is not on the injury report. Phoenix's Monique Akoa Makani is listed as probable (reconditioning)

Something not on my bingo card in the preseason: The Portland Fire have won the season series over the New York Liberty, 2-1. Fire improve to 4-3. Liberty fall to 3-4 and have lost three straight at home.

19-year-old Awa Fam is the 14th teenager to play a game in WNBA history 👏 Only the second to ever score 10+ points in their debut too 💪

At 4-1, the Dream are first in the league standings, the only team remaining with one loss on the season

Azzi Fudd's 17 points in the third frame are tied for the second-most by a rookie in a quarter since the league went to quarters in 2006. She had not scored 17 points in a game in the first five games of her career

This is the second time this season the Atlanta Dream has overcome a deficit of 15+. Atlanta is 2-1 when trailing by 15+ so far this season. The rest of WNBA is 0-23.

Caitlin Clark said her decision to not play Wednesday was dictated largely by her confidence level in her body, particularly as she comes back from last season's injuries. "I think there's moments where maybe I get in my head a little bit, and that's understandable. I need to have a little grace with myself. I need people to give me a little bit of grace, too. When you go through so many things, it becomes a little bit traumatizing, too." espn.com/wnba/story/_/i…
