Update -- Lisa Leslie will miss her 10th consecutive game because of a knee injury suffered in the All-Star game. Without their star center, the Sparks have lost four in a row and six of nine. The Sparks signed forward Lynn Pride, formerly of the Minnesota Lynx, Thursday and waived center Jenny Mowe, who had been signed to a seven-day contract. Phoenix has the league’s worst record.
