Summary
The LA Sparks shock the basketball world by firing GM Raegan Pebley just three weeks before the trade deadline — a move that comes as they head on a crucial four-game road trip. Pebley, who led the team to a 39-66 record since joining in 2024, is replaced by assistant GMs Zach Knowlton and Nate Nielsen. With the team at 10-11 but on a two-game win streak, they’re chasing a playoff return after missing it since 2020. Meanwhile, superstar Nneka Ogwumike is closing in on Lisa Leslie’s all-time franchise scoring record — just 43 points away. Despite injuries, the Sparks are showing flashes of brilliance, with multiple starters stepping up, and are determined to climb above .500 as the season winds down.
