Dropping a game to the league-leading Minnesota Lynx is not enough to spark frustrations for Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon just yet. Her team has now recorded its 12th loss of the season, just two shy of its total regular-season losses last year.

The Sparks forward wasn't worried about facing male practice players. It was the reaction around them that caught her attention.

A'ja Wilson scored 32 points for the Aces, but only got 12 from Chelsea Gray and 8 from Jackie Young.

Good luck stopping this for the next several years.

Los Angeles Sparks star Rae Burrell is due to receive a fine from the WNBA. This comes after her actions during their game against the Washington Mystics on Saturday at CareFirst Arena. The Sparks were holding a three-point lead with around 3:16 left in the third quarter.

Former Lady Vol Rae Burrell leads Los Angeles in scoring for a third consecutive WNBA game.

Thus far, the only two teams that have clinched a spot in the 2026 WNBA Playoffs have split their season series. In the first matchup in mid-June, A’ja Wilson’s double-double of 24 points and 10 boards, plus Chelsea Gray’s 23 points and seven assists, was enough for the Aces to hold off the Lynx, led b...

The Sparks suffered their 10th loss in the last 12 games as they fell to the Mystics on Saturday.

Minnesota continued its dominant season with another statement win over Las Vegas, but several difficult tests remain on the schedule.

Sonia Citron scored 21 points, Shakira Austin had 17 points and 11 rebounds, and the Washington Mystics rallied in the fourth quarter to defeat the Los Angeles Sparks 80-70 on Saturday night. Kiki Iriafen added 19 points and eight rebounds for Washington (20-14), which was coming off two straight losses at Las Vegas. Austin's layup with six minutes left in the fourth quarter gave Washington a 65-64 lead, its first advantage since it was 41-39 at halftime.

The Sparks missed Cameron Brink's presence on the defensive side of the ball as an upper body injury sidelined her from the Mystics game.

Robert Griffin III sparks debate with his WNBA MVP list, ranking Caitlin Clark above A'ja Wilson & praising Kelsey Mitchell's standout play.

For a season that started with far more questions than answers, head coach Sydney Johnson and his team have found a recipe to compete with the leagues top talents, and are now posing new, more welcome ques...

Three WNBA games are on the schedule Saturday, headlined by the Minnesota Lynx visiting the Las Vegas Aces.

The Los Angeles Sparks walked into Barclays Center expecting the usual basketball game. But even before the game tipped off against the New York Liberty, an unusual performance of the national anthem caught the attention of Kate Martin, Cameron Brink, and Dearica Hamby, and their confused reactions made it all even more amusing.
