LADDER leaders Perth Lynx will be without forward Louella Tomlinson for the rest of the WNBL regular season after she was ruled out with an ankle injury.

Tomlinson injured her ankle in Thursday’s clash with the Sydney Uni Flames.

Scans revealed a grade three tear of the lateral ligaments in her left ankle, which means she’ll miss four to six weeks.
