Mark Walter is seeking to sell the Los Angeles Sparks and its practice facility for $700 million. Walter purchased the franchise for approximately $10 million in 2014. A $700 million sale would surpass the current WNBA record of $300 million, the price paid by Tilman Fertitta for the Connecticut Sun.
The Sparks finished the season with a 16-28 record, marking the longest active postseason drought in the league. Following the season, the team fired coach Lynne Roberts and replaced general manager Raegan Pebley with Ariana Andonian. Additionally, the team traded guard Kelsey Plum for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick, while forward Nneka Ogwumike announced her retirement.
