WASHINGTON, July 1 (UPI) -- The Washington Mystics have activated Kiesha Brown from the injured reserve list and placed forward Chamique Holdsclaw on injured reserve with a left ankle sprain.
Per league rules, Holdsclaw must stay on the injured list for at least three games before she can be activated again.
"Our team doctor examined Chamique Sunday morning," said Judy Holland-Burton, the team's Senior Vice-President. "Based on his evaluation, we think that it is best to rest her ankle and give her time to get back to 100%."
Holdsclaw suffered the ankle sprain late in the first half of the Mystics' game against Portland on June 28. She did not return for the rest of the game.
Before her injury, Holdsclaw led the league in scoring with 19.9 ppg and rebounds with 11.8 rpg, and recorded eight double-doubles in 12 games this season.
Brown was placed on the injured list on June 26 with left knee chrondomalacia patella. Prior to her injury, she played in eight games for the Mystics, averaging 5.0 minutes per game, 0.8 points and 1.0 rebound.
