Sparks basketball team eyes successful future season
Another forward for the Sparks, Reshanda Gray, said getting the opportunity to play in the EuroCup Women’s League for OGM Ormanspor has allowed her to improve her skills on the court.
“For me, going overseas to Turkey was hard for me in a good way because of the amount of players in the league,” Gray said. “Facing new competition every game was a good opportunity for me.”

Gray is now back playing for the Sparks.
The Sparks are looking to bounce back after failing to make the playoffs last season. The past two seasons were the first time the Sparks have missed the playoffs in backto-back seasons since the 1997-98 season.
With the departure of old coach and former Lakers star
Derek Fisher last season, coach Curt Miller is pushing the Sparks to have a bounceback season and win.
Miller won coach of the year in 2017 and 2021 while he was with the Connecticut Sun, placing high expectations for the upcoming season with a new coaching regime entering.
CBS Los Angeles sports anchor Jim Hill was in attendance for Media Day conducting interviews with several Sparks players, including Nneka Ogwumike and her sister Chiney.
The longtime sports anchor believes the Sparks can have a successful season.
“It’s a tough sport, but they can handle it,” Hill said. “I enjoy watching them perform and I look forward to them having a successful season this year, that’s for sure.”
