No timetable for return Tempo head coach Sandy Brondello indicated Sunday that Sykes (foot) isn't close to returning to game action, Ian Finlayson of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Sykes has been sidelined since June 16 due to a plantar fascia injury and has recently taken part in individual activities during practice, but it seems the veteran is still a long way from returning to game action. Her extended absence has been notable for the Tempo, as Sykes averaged 20.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 15 contests before being hampered by injury.

Participating in individual drills Head coach Sandy Brondello said Thursday that Sykes (foot) has taken part in individual work at practice recently, Zulfi Sheikh of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Sykes has been sidelined since mid-June due to a plantar fascia injury, and it's not yet clear when she'll be able to return to game action. The Tempo have just two more games remaining before the All-Star break, and it certainly seems possible that the team will hold her out until at least late July in order to build her up during the league's layoff.
