TheLos Angeles Sparks are an American professionalbasketball team based inLos Angeles. The Sparks compete in theWomen's National Basketball Association (WNBA) as a member of theWestern Conference. The team plays its home games atCrypto.com Arena. The Sparks were founded before the league's inaugural1997 season began. Like some other WNBA teams, the Sparks have the distinction of not being affiliated with anNBA counterpart, even though the market is shared with theLos Angeles Lakers and theLos Angeles Clippers.

Lakers ownerJerry Buss owned the Sparks as a sister team to the Los Angeles Lakers from 1997 to 2006. Since 2014, the Sparks have been owned by Sparks LA Sports, a group consisting ofMark Walter,Magic Johnson,Stan Kasten,Todd Boehly,Bobby Patton, and Eric Holoman.^[4][5]

The Sparks have qualified for theWNBA playoffs in twenty of their twenty-eight years in Los Angeles, more than any other team in the league. The franchise has been home to many high-quality players such as 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) center andTennessee standoutCandace Parker, point guardNikki Teasley, and nearbyUSC alumsLisa Leslie andTina Thompson. In2001,2002,2003,2016 and2017, the Sparks went to theWNBA Finals. They won the title in 2001, 2002, and 2016, beatingCharlotte,New York, andMinnesota respectively, but fell short toDetroit in 2003 and Minnesota in 2017.

The1997 WNBA season, the league's first, opened with a game between the Sparks and theNew York Liberty at the Sparks home (The Forum) inInglewood. The Sparks lost the game 57–67. Sparks playerPenny Toler scored the league's first two points with a lay-up 59 seconds into the game. The Sparks finished with a record of 14–14. The team did compete for a playoff spot, but because of a loss to thePhoenix Mercury in the final game of the season, the Sparks missed the playoffs. In the1998 WNBA season, the Sparks finished 12–18, missing the playoffs once more.

The1999 season featured the development ofLisa Leslie and the Sparks' first playoff berth, as the Sparks posted a 20–12 record. The Sparks won their first playoff game and series with a win over theSacramento Monarchs. They played in theWestern Conference Finals but fell to the defending championHouston Comets, 2 games to 1, in the three-game series.

The2000 season was a record one, as the Sparks had a 28–4 record, the best in league history, and second only to the 1998 Houston Comets for best all-time. In the playoffs, the Sparks swept the Phoenix Mercury in the first round but lost in the Western Conference Finals again, when they were swept by the Comets. Ultimately, the Sparks were playing in the shadow of the Comets, who won the first fourWNBA championships.

The 2000–01 off-season saw a move to theStaples Center and a coaching change, when the Sparks hired formerLos Angeles Lakers playerMichael Cooper as head coach. During the ensuing regular season, the Sparks again posted a 28–4 record. In the 2001 playoffs, the Sparks finally eliminated the Comets, sweeping them in the first round. The Sparks took all three games to eliminate the Monarchs to earn their first berth in theWNBA Finals, in which they swept theCharlotte Sting, 2–0, for their first league championship.

In 2002, Leslie became the first woman in the league to dunk the ball during a game, and once again the Sparks dominated the regular season, posting a 25–7 record. The Sparks then flew through the playoffs, sweeping both theSeattle Storm and theUtah Starzz. In the finals, the Sparks were matched against the Liberty, who were still looking for their first championship. A late three-pointer in game 2 byNikki Teasley gave the Sparks their second consecutive championship.

In 2003, the Sparks posted a 24–10 record and went into the playoffs looking for a "three-peat". Both the first and the second rounds were forced to deciding third games, as they beat theMinnesota Lynx andSacramento Monarchs. The Sparks then faced the upstartDetroit Shock in the Finals. The Shock were on a roll after having been the worst team in the WNBA in2002. The Finals were a battle fueled by the relationship between head coachesMichael Cooper (Sparks) andBill Laimbeer (Shock) which stemmed from their days in theNBA. The rough road to the finals and the tough play of the Shock wore down the Sparks,^{[citation needed]} who lost the series two games to one and failed to three-peat.

During the 2003-04 off-season, the Sparks signed two players,Tamika Whitmore andTeresa Weatherspoon, who had played for theNew York Liberty. When the season began, the Sparks got off to a great start,^{[clarification needed]} but coach Cooper left at mid-season to seek a coaching job in theNBA. The loss of their coach was a factor in the team's so-so finish to the season,^{[citation needed]} which ended with a record of 25–9. During the playoffs, the team lost in three games to theSacramento Monarchs.

The Sparks never recovered through the 2005 season and finished with a 17–17 record. They barely made the playoffs as the number-four seed. In the first round, the Sparks were outplayed and swept by the eventual champion Monarchs.

In 2006, the Sparks played much better, posting a 25–9 record. In the playoffs, they defeated theSeattle Storm in three games. However, in the Western Conference finals, the Sparks' season was ended by the Monarchs for the third year in a row.

After the 2006 season ended, team presidentJohnny Buss resigned,^[6] and his father, team owner,Jerry Buss announced he was selling the Sparks. On December 7, 2006, theLos Angeles Times reported the sale to an investor group led by Kathy Goodman and Carla Christofferson. Goodman is a former executive forIntermedia Films. Christofferson is alitigationattorney for theO’Melveny & Myers law firm and wasMiss North Dakota USA in 1989.^[7] The day after the sale was announced, team star Lisa Leslie announced that she waspregnant and would not play in the 2007 season.^[8] The Sparks posted a league-worst 10–24 record, also the worst in Sparks history. They missed the playoffs for the first time since 1998.

Before the start of the 2008 season, the team's prospects improved dramatically. Lisa Leslie returned to the team, and on April 9, 2008, the team used its number-one draft pick to selectCandace Parker, the college player of the year, the morning after Parker had led theUniversity of Tennessee Lady Vols to their second-straight NCAA championship.

In 2008, the Sparks posted a 20–14 record and finished third in the Western Conference. Parker had won Rookie of the Year and WNBA MVP, becoming the first player in WNBA history to win both awards in the same season.^[9] In the playoffs, the Sparks beat theSeattle Storm 2–1 to reach the Western Conference Finals and compete against theSan Antonio Silver Stars. The Sparks were on track to win game 2 of the series, but Silver StarSophia Young made a turn-around bank-shot with a second left on the clock to force the series to a deciding game three. The Sparks lost game three, and the Silver Stars moved on to theWNBA Finals.

Following the 2008 season, Parker announced that she was pregnant. To compensate for Parker's absence, the Sparks signed native veteran superstarTina Thompson (who had previously played for the former rivalHouston Comets) and former Finals MVPBetty Lennox in free agency. With the addition of Thompson and Lennox, the Sparks added more championship experience and veteran leadership to their roster to them help them compete for another title.

The 2009 season had started poorly for the Sparks. Parker began the season on maternity leave, and Leslie suffered a knee injury early in the season. Both Leslie and Parker returned to the court in July, however, sparking a 10–2 run which turned an 8–14 start into an 18–16 regular-season record and clinching the Sparks' tenth playoff appearance in their 13-year history. In the first round of the playoffs, the Sparks defeated the Seattle Storm for the third time in four years. In the Western Conference Finals, the Sparks' lost to the eventual championPhoenix Mercury in three games. The end of the 2009 playoff run marked the end of Leslie's career as a player and Cooper's second tenure as Sparks' head coach. In the off-season, former Sparks playerJennifer Gillom became the team's new head coach.

With the acquisition of former All-Star point guardTicha Penicheiro and Parker establishing herself as the team's nextfranchise player, the 2010 Sparks believed they had the pieces to contend for a championship.^{[citation needed]} However, Parker had season-ending shoulder surgery after the team started 3–7. Without her, the Sparks struggled, finishing 13–21, which was good enough to qualify them for fourth place in the Western Conference, but they were swept by the eventual championSeattle Storm in the first round.

The 2011 season was eerily reminiscent of the previous year for the Sparks. The team started 4–3 but again Parker sustained an injury. Following three more losses, the Sparks fired head coach Gillom, promoting previous Sparks coachJoe Bryant. With Parker out until the end of the season, the Sparks headed into theAll-Star break 6–8 and in fifth place. The Sparks finished the season three games out of the playoffs with a 15–19 record. Thompson would become a free agent and sign with the Seattle Storm.

In the 2012 season, the Sparks significantly improved, making it back to the playoffs since 2010, finishing second in the Western Conference with a 24–10 record. That same year they drafted Rookie of the Year and future MVPNneka Ogwumike with the number-one pick. However, the Sparks were eliminated 2–0 in the first round by theMinnesota Lynx.

The team was owned by Williams Group Holdings (Paula Madison, majority owner) and Carla Christofferson, Nicholas J H, and Lisa Leslie (minority owners) until January 2014 when it was abruptly announced that WGH would relinquish all control. Paula Madison said that since becoming an owner in 2007, she and her family had lost $12 million, including $1.4 million in 2013.^[10] The team was temporarily absorbed by the league, and was then purchased by Sparks LA Sports, a group that included former NBA playerMagic Johnson.^[11]

The 2014 and 2015 seasons would be disappointing for the Sparks as they had continued to be an underachieving playoff team, getting eliminated in the first round both years by thePhoenix Mercury andMinnesota Lynx respectively.

After making the playoffs in 2015, losing in the first round, the Sparks made subtle roster changes and improved the following year. Suddenly showing signs of championship contention, they finished with a 26–8 record and made it to the2016 WNBA Playoffs. By this time, the Sparks had a "Big Three", consisting ofCandace Parker,Nneka Ogwumike andKristi Toliver. They earned the number 2 seed in the league and received a double bye to the semi-finals with the WNBA's new playoff format.^[12] The Sparks faced off against theChicago Sky in the semi-finals and defeated the Sky 3 games to 1 to advance to the Finals for the first time since 2003. They faced the number 1 seededMinnesota Lynx in the finals. They stole game 1 on the road when veteran forwardAlana Beard made a game-winning jumper at the buzzer, lifting the team to a 78–76 victory. They lost game 2 79–60, but back in Los Angeles, put themselves one win away from their first title in over a decade with a dominant 92–75 game 3 victory. Even though they expected to clinch a championship on their home floor, they lost game 4 in a disappointing finish of 85–79. Game 5 was truly historic, against all odds, and swarmed with Minnesota fans, the 2016WNBA MVP, Nneka Ogwumike grabbed an offensive rebound and made the game-winning shot to put the Sparks ahead 77–76 with 3.1 seconds remaining. The Sparks won their first championship since 2002 and their third championship in franchise history. Candace Parker was named the Finals MVP.^[13][14]

Coming into the 2017 season, the Sparks had some changes made in their roster. Toliver left the Sparks in free agency to join theWashington Mystics,Chelsea Gray became the starting point guard, the Sparks traded forOdyssey Sims, draftedSydney Wiese and retooled most of their bench, but kept their core intact. The Sparks once again finished as the second best team in the league with a 26–8 record with a double-bye to the semi-finals. The Sparks swept thePhoenix Mercury 3-0 in the semi-finals, advancing to the Finals for the second season in a row, setting up a rematch with the Lynx. In Game 1, Gray made a game-winning jumper with 2 seconds left to give the Sparks a 1-0 series lead. In Game 3, Parker set the Finals record for most steals in a game with 5 steals as the Sparks were up 2–1 in the Finals. With another opportunity to close out the series at home, the Sparks failed to deliver as they lost Game 4 80–69, extending the series to a deciding Game 5. The Sparks would lose Game 5, failing to win back-to-back championships.

In 2018, the Sparks continued to hold onto their core, but would underperform during the season, this time they would finish as the number 6 seed with a 19–15 record. They would start off their playoff run against the rival championship-defending Minnesota Lynx. They would defeat the Lynx 75–68, advancing to the second round. In the second round elimination game, the Sparks lost 96–64 to theWashington Mystics, ending their run of two consecutive finals appearances.

After the 2018 season,Brian Agler resigned as the coach of the Sparks.^[15] One month later, the Sparks announced thatDerek Fisher had been hired as a replacement.^[16]

After the 2019 season,Penny Toler was dismissed as general manager.^[17]

Before the 2021 season, both Parker and Gray left the team in free agency.^[18] The Sparks failed to make playoffs for the first time since 2011.^[19]

On June 7, 2022, the Sparks and Fisher parted ways as head coach and general manager after the team started the year 5-7, despite the acquisition ofLiz Cambage. Fisher went 54-46 as head coach during his Sparks tenure.^[20]Fred Williams took over as interim head coach, but the Sparks ultimately missed the playoffs once again.^[21]

For the 2023 season,Curt Miller was named the new head coach, andKaren Bryant was named the new general manager.^[22] The Sparks missed the playoffs for the third consecutive year, marking the first time in franchise history.^[23] They received the second overall pick in the draft lottery.^[24]

Before the 2024 season,Raegan Pebley was named the new general manager,^[25] while Nneka Ogwumike, the last remaining player from the 2016 championship team, departed the Sparks in free agency.^[26] Through trades, the Sparks acquired the fourth pick in the2024 WNBA draft and, with their two lottery picks, selectedCameron Brink andRickea Jackson.^[27] The Sparks finished the season with the league's worst record and subsequently parted ways with Miller.^[28] Following the season, the Sparks once again received the second overall pick in the draft lottery.^[29]

On November 19, 2024,Lynne Roberts was announced as the new head coach.^[30] Before the2025 season, the Sparks traded away their second overall pick and acquiredKelsey Plum.^[31]

• 2021–present: Nike and the WNBA unveiled new designs for all of its teams, and announced new edition uniforms. The Sparks unveiled a white uniform for the first time; all white uniforms were placed under the "Heroine" series.

The "Rebel" uniforms are similar to the NBA's "City" edition in that it evokes city or team culture and pride.
• 2018–2020:Nike replaced Adidas as uniform provider. EquiTrust remains jersey sponsor, while slight tweaks were made in the fonts and striping. Similar to the NBA, Nike's WNBA uniforms were classified under the "Icon" and "Statement" series, with the Sparks' gold and purple jerseys designated as such.

Currently, some Sparks games are broadcast onSpectrum SportsNet, a local television channel in theSouthern California area, after agreeing to a multi-year broadcast deal withTime Warner Cable in March 2012 which was later acquired byCharter Communications in May 2016.^[39] Broadcasters for the Sparks games are Larry Burnett andLisa Leslie. Previously, Sparks games were found onFox Sports West and Prime Ticket and former analysts have includedDerek Fisher andAnn Meyers.

Some Sparks games are broadcast nationally onESPN,ESPN2,Ion Television,CBS,CBS Sports Network andABC.^[40]

Currently, the team's games are not on radio; however, the team did bounce around several stations from1999 to2008. The first two years had no broadcasts. Then in 1999, the team signed with KWKU, a sister station to Spanish-languageKWKW, licensed toPomona, California. According to an article in theLos Angeles Times published in this period, KWKU had no switchboard and no website. In addition, its 500-watt signal reached only a handful of people in the greater L.A. area and was certainly nowhere near the team's home arenas. In2003, the team left KWKU forKLAC, which had summer time slots available after theAnaheim Angels' radio broadcasts had just left. That lasted until2006, when KLAC switched the broadcasts toXETRA, which carried the same format KLAC had before. In2007, the game broadcasts moved again, this time toKTLK, when XETRA switched its language of broadcasts from English to Spanish. The Sparks andClear Channel Communications (licensee of the last three stations mentioned) chose not to renew their contract after 2008. Sparks radio broadcasts never covered a complete season; most nationally-televised games and many games from theEastern time zone were not covered. Burnett was the announcer.
