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.
