Injuries 5

Aaliyah Nye

Out
Cameron Brink
LA · F
Ankle: Brink missed the last two games but will now be sidelined for the Sparks' final game of the season. The 24-year-old averaged a career-best 9.5 points along with 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.8 blocks over 19.2 minutes per contest in 31 regular-season games, including one start, throughout the 2026 campaign.
Out
NaLyssa Smith
LV · F
Leg: It's a big blow for the defending-champion Aces ahead of the postseason. Smith started all 38 of her appearances for Las Vegas, so a spot in the first unit is now open. Brianna Turner appears to the most likely candidate to replace Smith in the starting lineup going forward.
Out
Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda
LA · G
Coach's Decision: Mwenentanda has appeared in her team's last two games, but she'll be shut down for the Sparks' final game of the 2026 campaign. She played in seven games across stops in LA and Golden State this season.
Out
Shyanne Sellers
LA · G
Coach's Decision: Sellers will take a seat for the season finale despite being left off the injury report initially. She appeared in two games for the Sparks after signing a developmental contract in late August.
