The Los Angeles Sparks announced the dismissal of head coach Lynne Roberts on Friday morning, citing the team’s failure to reach the playoffs for a second straight season under her leadership.
Roberts had taken the coaching reins for the Sparks in 2022, guiding the franchise through two seasons in which the team fell short of postseason play. The decision comes after a review of the squad’s performance and results over the past two years.
While the Sparks have a history of competitive play in the WNBA, the recent seasons have not met the expectations of the organization or its supporters. The move signals a shift in direction as the club looks to rebuild its roster and coaching strategy.
Details of the next head‑coach appointment have not yet been released, and the Sparks will begin the search for a replacement in the coming weeks.
