Sparks prepare to face Lynx, struggling with home performance

The Los Angeles Sparks return home to face the Minnesota Lynx on June 19, 2026. Currently at.500 with a 7-7 record, the Sparks are looking to bounce back after a disappointing loss to the Golden State Valkyries, where they scored just 58 points. Their upcoming match is particularly challenging, as they face a Lynx team that leads the league at 11-3 and has won nine of its last ten games. Sparks forward Dearica Hamby expressed the need to refocus after their recent road trip. The stakes are high for the Sparks, especially at home, where they have struggled with a 2-5 record this season. They may be without Kelsey Plum for the game, who is questionable due to a lower leg injury.
