The news on Cheryl Ford came before the Shock hosted the Sky last night. They got off to a slow start and saw their seven game winning streak come to an end in a 83-73 loss.

More than anything, the Shock seemed to miss the rebounding punch Ford provided as the Sky won the battle of the boards. "I'm preparing for the worst," Bill Laimbeer said of Ford. "Whatever happens, happens. We can't dwell on it. We have what we have. We have to add a frontcourt player who can get some rebounds."

Katie Feenstra continued her strong play from Tuesday's win in CT. But the Shock are still waiting on Kara Braxton to show what she is capable of. But the post players for Detroit had no answer for Candice Dupree, who had a game high 24 points and 12 rebounds. “Dupree is an offensive-minded player,” said Feenstra. “We probably could have done a better job defending her…but she’s offensive minded. She’s going to score no matter what.”
