The basketball gods seem to have a vendetta against the Sparks.
The basketball gods seem to have a vendetta against the Sparks.
For the second consecutive year, Los Angeles came one pick shy of the top spot in the WNBA draft, leaving the team in disbelief in a video that was posted on social media.
At a watch party for the draft lottery that was airing on Sunday, Sparks players looked on as it was announced that they had gotten the second overall pick in the 2025 draft.
The prize in this year’s draft is the right to likely pick UConn superstar Paige Bueckers with the first selection, which belongs to the Wings.
An audible groan could be heard from the room and Cameron Brink — the team’s pick at No. 2 in the 2024 draft was so stunned she sat there with her mouth open in shock.
Someone could also be heard in the background saying, “Seriously?”
What made it more painful was the Sparks had the worst record in the league last season at 8-32, giving them a 44.
