Thursday's Best WNBA Bet
San Antonio Silver Stars at Indiana Fever (-6, 142)
Only in the WNBA.
The Silver Stars will be without head coach Sandy Brondello after she gave birth to a baby girl earlier this week.
It was the second child for her and husband, associate head coach Olaf Lange, and will leave the team without Brondello for the next two games, including Thursday’s tilt with the Fever. Lange and GM Dan Hughes are taking over the coaching duties while Brondello recovers.
The Silver Stars are missing their coach at the wrong time following back-to-back losses. San Antonio’s most recent defeat was a lopsided 84-56 loss to the Seattle Storm this past weekend – the worst thrashing in franchise history.
“We didn’t come out and execute the way that we were supposed to, the way that we’re capable of,” reserve guard Roneeka Hodges, who scored 12 points in the loss, told the San Antonio Express. “I just think that whatever the problem is, we just need to get it solved right away. I think as time passes, we’ll be fine.”
The Silver Stars are still gelling after adding All-Star forward Chamique Holdsclaw two weeks ago. Holdsclaw scored just eight points in Sunday’s loss to Seattle while star guard Becky Hammond netted only five points.
