LA Sparks The Los Angeles Sparks are entering their 12th season in the Women's National Basketball Association and their 8th year as a STAPLES Center resident. The Sparks are one of the eight original teams in the WNBA.

The Sparks were led to back-to-back WNBA Championships in 2001 and 2002 (their first and second years playing in STAPLES Center) by head coach and LA Lakers "Showtime" legend Michael Cooper.

In December 2006 the Sparks became the first team in the WNBA to be co-owned by two women and is now one of seven WNBA teams to be owned and operated independently of NBA teams.

For the first time in franchise history, the Sparks won the top pick for the 2008 WNBA Draft. The team's roster of star athletes is led by three-time league MVP Lisa Leslie and includes 2005 WNBA Rookie of the Year Temeka Johnson, WNBA All-Star Taj McWilliams-Franklin and stand-out 2007 rookie Sidney Spencer.

The Sparks are happy to call STAPLES Center and downtown Los Angeles home. For Sparks season ticket information, call 1-877-44-SPARKS or visit their official website.
