The 37-year-old made 15 regular-season appearances (five starts) between the Sparks and Fever last year, averaging 5.1 points, 2.2 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 18.6 minutes per game, and it\u0027s not yet clear whether her knee issue will impact her as she seeks out other opportunities around the WNBA. Nell Angloma (overseas commitment) was activated by the Sun in a corresponding move Thursday.","Injury":{"Status":"","EspnInjuryStatus":"OUT","Type":"Knee","Location":null,"Detail":null,"Side":"Left","ReturnDate":null},"Player":{"FirstName":"Shey","LastName":"Peddy","Position":"G","InjuryStatus":"OUT","Link":"https://www.rotowire.com/wnba/player/shey-peddy-632","Id":"632","WNBAId":"203035"},"Team":{"Name":null,"Id":null,"Code":""}},{"Id":"30538","DateTime":"2026-05-14T08:23:00-07:00","Priority":"2","Headline":"Out once again","Notes":"Sabally (cyst) is out for Thursday\u0027s game against the Fire.","Analysis":"Sabally will be sidelined for a fourth straight game and remains without a timetable to return.
