Los Angeles Sparks forward Candace Parker will miss about six weeks with a torn meniscus in her right knee.
Parker played just the first 10 games of 2010, before missing the remainder of the season with a shoulder injury.
Parker was averaging 17.7 points and 9.9 rebounds per game before injuring her knee against the New York Liberty on Sunday.
The Sparks are 4-3, but have yet to win a game on the road this season.
