The Shock will be playing without 6-foot-8 Elizabeth Cambage (left ankle injury), who averages a team-high 18.7 points and eight rebounds a game. Tulsa’s second-leading scorer is 6-3 Glory Johnson, a former Tennessee standout who averages 15.5 points. Tulsa’s top draft pick, Skylar Diggins, is averaging 9.8 points. Meanwhile, the Sparks’ Alana Beard, who sat out last Saturday’s game because of a hamstring injury, is expected to play against the Shock.
