Weekly Sparks Player Grades: Los Angeles splits a pair of games
Briefly

Los Angeles Sparks ended their winning streak against Las Vegas despite a strong showing from A'ja Wilson. They bounced back with a road win against Seattle in a double overtime match. The team displays solid potential for the playoffs, relying on a limited rotation primarily composed of starters. Player performances were graded based on expectations, with significant contributions from Kelsey Plum, Dearica Hamby, and Jackson. Each player's performance reflected their importance to the team's success moving forward, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement.
Plum is at the top of the list for players head coach Lynne Roberts trusts, having played more minutes than anyone on the team this week despite inefficiencies.
Hamby led the team in rebounding, showing spectacular performance across both games and improving her charity stripe shooting, playing every minute of double overtime.
Jackson has taken her game to another level in July, maintaining her scoring and increasing her rebounding numbers during August's first matchup.
The Sparks are showing they have enough talent to compete in the playoffs, despite a thin rotation consisting mainly of starters and few bench players.
