The Sparks’ first home game away from Cal State Long Beach’s Walter Pyramid will be against the former Iowa phenom and the Indiana Fever on May 24
Sparks coach Curt Miller, seen with general manager Raegan Pebley at the team’s media Wednesday May 1, 2024, at El Camino College, says the sport’s surging popularity could lead to sold-out arenas every night. TORRANCE — The Sparks are going big, and in doing so are setting up a matchup between the top two picks in last month’s WNBA draft on a significantly bigger stage.
“I’m excited,” Brink said after Tuesday’s practice at the team’s training facility at El Camino College. “Caitlin is my girl. We are really good friends and I have so much respect and admiration for her, so I hope it’s a good game.” “We appreciate the partnership that we have built with Long Beach State and are excited to open our 2024 season in front of the Long Beach community,” Sparks President Christine Monjer added. “Women’s basketball is experiencing unprecedented viewership and attendance numbers so moving these games back to Crypto.com Arena provides us the ability to have more fans in the stands and have our players back to competing on their home floor.
In previewing the showdown against Indiana, Brink believes the Sparks must pay close attention to Clark as well as Aliyah Boston, the 2023 No. 1 pick, and other key Fever players.WNBA draft: Sparks have big options with No. 2 and No. 4 picks
