Lynx guard Seimone Augustus will not play tonight against the Los Angeles Sparks at Target Center. It is the fourth straight game she has missed due to left knee bursitis, and the fifth overall.

At this point the team is still calling her day-to-day, but the possibility remains she could be out until after the All-Star break. That game, set to be played in Phoenix, is on July 19.

Meanwhile, a game after the New York LIberty beat the Lynx in large part because of their interior game, the Lynx have to slow a Sparks frontcourt that goes 6-2, 6-4 and 6-4.

That's about it for now. Have a good night.
