Brink is set to make her season debut after being sidelined since June 2024 due to a torn ACL. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see her face heavy restrictions in her return to game action. The 23-year-old appeared in 15 regular-season games in 2024, during which she averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals across 22.0 minutes per game.

The Sparks reported earlier in the month that Brink was expected to play in a game before July ends, and Tuesday's matchup against Las Vegas would be her last chance to do so. The second-year star is trending toward making that come true after practicing Monday, but her final availability will likely come down to a game-time call. If cleared to play, Brink will presumably be under major restrictions after not suiting up since June of 2024 while rehabbing from an ACL tear. However, she could still be productive in limited action. Brink made her mark defensively as a rookie, averaging 2.3 blocks and 1.1 steals in just 22.0 minutes per game.

Burrell led the Sparks' bench in scoring en route to a season-high mark. The 25-year-old has now logged double-digit minutes in five consecutive outings, averaging 7.4 points while shooting 46.4 percent from the field across 18.4 minutes per game during that span.

Allemand wasn't effective in the scoring department but posted a game-best 10 assists, tying her season-high mark. Over her last five outings, the 29-year-old has averaged 6.4 points, 6.8 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 32.4 minutes per game.

Jackson flipped a circus shot up and in to beat the buzzer for the victory Saturday, which put an exclamation point on her fourth 20-point performance of the campaign. The 24-year-old forward has been an erratic scorer at times -- she has a trio of 20-point efforts and a pair of single-digit performances in July -- but Jackson has still averaged a strong 16.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers per game while shooting 47.1 percent from the floor across eight July outings.

Stevens is now up to eight double-doubles this year, and four of those efforts have come in July. The veteran center is putting together a career season -- she's averaging 14.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks per game through 25 outings -- but her fantasy value could take a slight hit once Cameron Brink (knee) is finally ready to make her 2025 debut.

The double-double was Hamby's eighth of the season, and it came alongside a very efficient shooting display. The star center continues to enjoy an excellent month of July, averaging 19.9 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.5 steals in 31.5 minutes per game while shooting 64.1 percent from the floor over eight appearances.

Plum distributed at least eight dimes for the sixth time this season, though teammate Julie Allemand outpaced her in this area with 10 assists Saturday. Plum has five 20-point showings under her belt in July, during which the star guard has averaged 19.3 points, 6.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 2.9 three-pointers while shooting a sizzling 47.9 percent from deep over eight outings.

Brink will remain sidelined as she continues to recover from surgery to repair a torn ACL. She has yet to appear this season, but the team reported earlier in the month that Brink is expected to play in a game at some point in July. The next opportunity for her to debut in 2025 will be against Las Vegas on Tuesday, the Sparks' final contest before the calendar flips to August.

While she's unlikely to play Saturday, it's the first time this season that Brink has not been ruled out for a game. She continues to recover from a torn ACL that she suffered in June of 2024, but she's trending in the right direction after recently being cleared for 5-on-5 work.

Feagin finished scoreless for the sixth time out of her last seven games. She's simply an emergency depth option for the Sparks and doesn't have much fantasy appeal at the moment.
