Feaster Put on Sparks Injured List

Former Harvard hoops star Allison Feaster '98 will miss six weeks of her rookie season in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) after breaking her foot in a game last Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Sparks placed Feaster, a three-time Ivy League Player of the Year, on the injured list Friday after she underwent surgery on a fractured right foot.

Feaster was the Sparks' first pick in the April WNBA draft. She led the team in scoring in pre-season, averaging 18.5 points per game in the Sparks' exhibition schedule.

The Sparks activated center Eugenia Rycraw to fill Feaster's place on the roster.

Last year Feaster led the Crimson to a 23-5 record, their best ever. She scored 35 points in an upset of first-seeded Stanford in the first round of this year's NCAA tournament.

After becoming the first ever Ivy Leaguer to score 2,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds, Feaster was named a Kodak All-American this year, considered the most prestigious award in women's college basketball short of Player of the Year.

Feaster averaged 28.5 points per game during her final year at Harvard.
