Los Angeles Sparks 2022 Stats

Los Angeles Sparks 2022 season: 13–23, scoring 79.4 points per game and allowing 86.6 (-7.1 average margin) across 36 games. Updated August 16, 2026.

Scouting report

The Sparks finished 13–23, 11th in the league standings, with a -9.1 net rating that ranked 11th of 12. The problems ran both ways: 10th in offensive rating and 11th in defensive rating. Nothing jumped off the page as a strength, and the weak spots were a lack of three-point volume (6.7 makes a game, 12th) and getting outshot (48.6% eFG vs. 53.2% allowed). Scoring was spread around — Nneka Ogwumike led at 18.1 a game, but no one accounted for more than 21% of the points, and she was also the one they can least afford to lose: +11.5 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 3-game winning streak (Jul 1–Jul 4). The lows: a 6-game losing streak (Jul 23–Aug 5) and a 37-point loss to the Storm on Jul 7. They went 6–14 against teams at .500 or better, and faded late, 1–9 over the last 10. Bottom line: a difficult season, with Nneka Ogwumike the main reason to watch and a thin three-point attack the most urgent fix.
