Update on Chamique Holdsclaw:

When Sparks public relations coordinator Ashley King was reached Thursday by ESPN.com columnist Mechelle Voepel, King wouldn't elaborate on Holdsclaw's absence, only confirming that the three-time All-Star had left the team Sunday. King also said Sparks coach Joe Bryant might have more specific comment in the upcoming days.

EDIT: New update via stever, Holdsclaw is now back with the team.
