Los Angeles Sparks Release 2024 Roster

The Sparks Are Looking to Bounce Back After a Disappointing 2023 Season

The Los Angeles Sparks have released their 2024 roster, and there are some notable changes from last year's team. The biggest change is the departure of Nneka Ogwumike, who was traded to the Minnesota Lynx in December. Ogwumike was the Sparks' leading scorer and rebounder last season, so her loss will be a big blow.

The Sparks have also lost Chiney Ogwumike, who signed with the Dallas Wings as a free agent. Chiney Ogwumike was a key member of the Sparks' frontcourt last season, and her departure will also be a big loss.

The Sparks have made some additions to their roster to try to fill the void left by the Ogwumike sisters. They have signed free agents Jantel Lavender and Erica Wheeler, and they have also acquired Katie Lou Samuelson in a trade with the Seattle Storm.

Lavender is a veteran center who has played for several teams in the WNBA. She is a good rebounder and defender, and she can also score in the post. Wheeler is a point guard who is known for her speed and quickness. She is a good passer and ball-handler, and she can also score. Samuelson is a wing player who is known for her shooting ability. She is a good three-point shooter, and she can also score off the dribble.

The Sparks are hoping that their new additions will help them improve on their disappointing 2023 season. The Sparks finished with a 15-21 record last season, and they missed the playoffs. The Sparks will be looking to make a run at the playoffs in 2024, and they believe that their new roster has the potential to do that.
