Los Angeles Sparks 2025 season: 21–23, scoring 85.7 points per game and allowing 88.2 (-2.6 average margin) across 44 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Sparks finished 21–23, 9th in the league standings, with a -3.3 net rating that ranked 9th of 13. This was an offense-first team — 6th in offensive rating (105.2) but 10th on defense (108.5 allowed per 100). They played fast, too — 1st in pace. They stood out for getting to the line (25.1 attempts a game, 2nd) and shot-making (52.1% eFG, 3rd), with no statistical category near the bottom of the league. Kelsey Plum (19.5 ppg) and Dearica Hamby (18.4) carried the scoring load between them, though the on/off numbers point to Dearica Hamby as the one they can least afford to lose — +14.4 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 5-game winning streak (Jul 13–Jul 26) and a 19-point rout of the Mystics on Jul 15. The lows: a 4-game losing streak (Jun 14–Jun 24) and a 31-point loss to the Storm on Jun 17. They went 10–20 against teams at .500 or better and 9–3 in games decided by five or fewer. Bottom line: a middle-of-the-pack team — good enough to beat anyone on a given night, not consistent enough to be feared.
