Sparks waive guard Kate Martin following roster changes
Summary

The Los Angeles Sparks have waived guard Kate Martin as part of recent roster moves. Martin, who previously played for the Golden State Valkyries, has participated in more than 12 games this season, which limits her options for playing under a developmental deal. The Sparks signed guard Aaliyah Nye, making Martin expendable at this time. Another WNBA team may claim her, or she could seek a developmental contract elsewhere in the league to finish the season.
