TORONTO (AP) — Toronto’s Brittney Sykes suffered a plantar fascia injury on Tuesday, the team announced Friday and will be re-evaluated in the coming weeks.
Sykes was hurt in a non-contact injury in the third quarter of the team’s loss to Indiana on Tuesday. She was helped off the court. Sykes was the league’s third-leading scorer in averaging 20.7 points a game coming into the Fever matchup.
The expansion Tempo also announced Friday that Kiki Rice had suffered a grade 3 left ankle sprain on June 3 in a loss at New York. She hasn’t played since and the team said she also would be re-evaluated in the upcoming weeks.
Both are expected to return this season.
The Tempo, who are the first WNBA franchise outside of the United States, are 7-8 on the season.
