Los Angeles Sparks Part Ways with Coach Curt Miller

The Los Angeles Sparks have mutually parted ways with head coach Curt Miller after a disappointing two-season tenure that ended with an 8-32 record in 2024, marking the franchise's worst performance. Under Miller, the Sparks failed to make the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year, finishing with a 25-55 overall record. Miller, a two-time WNBA Coach of the Year with a successful previous stint at the Connecticut Sun, was initially brought in to lead a rebuild of the struggling franchise. Despite injuries and instability, including the loss of top draft pick Cameron Brink to a torn ACL, Miller expressed pride in the culture established within the team. The Sparks now aim to pivot towards a youth movement, seeking a new coach to guide them into the future. Miller's departure signals the beginning of a new chapter for the Sparks as they prepare for the 2025 season.
