SAN ANTONIO, TX - JULY 28: Moriah Jefferson

The San Antonio Stars will be without guard Moriah Jefferson tonight against the Chicago Sky.  The team announced that the second-year guard from the University of Connecticut would miss the contest due to right knee soreness.

Jefferson has missed time throughout the season due to a variety of injuries.  In 20 of 27 possible games for the Stars, Jefferson is averaging 8.9 points and 4.5 assists per game.  The Stars are 3-0 in the month of August, but can only hope to play spoiler for the WNBA playoffs after a 0-14 start.
