As part of the 2025 WNBA schedule release on Monday, the Los Angeles Sparks unveiled their slate with a unique video on social media:

The Sparks will open the season on May 16 against the league's newest expansion team, the Golden State Valkyries. A matchup against the Chicago Sky on May 25 will pit star second-year players Cameron Brink and Angel Reese against one another, which would surely excite fans.

Los Angeles will also face early tests from veteran-laden teams like the Minnesota Lynx and Phoenix Mercury. The team won't face reigning Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever until a road matchup on June 26. Clark's first visit to Hollywood will be on Aug. 5. The Sparks will have their first meeting against the reigning WNBA champion New York Liberty on July 3, and they will close out the regular season against the Las Vegas Aces on Sept. 11.

Brink's rookie season was cut short by a torn ACL suffered on June 18. She had started all 15 games for the Sparks at that time and averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks. The injury also forced her to withdraw from the Team USA women's 3x3 squad for the Paris Olympics this past summer.

Without Brink, Los Angeles finished the 2024 season with an 8-32 record and failed to qualify for the playoffs for the fourth straight year. Former head coach Curt Miller parted ways with the team after the season and was replaced by Lynne Roberts, who most recently coached at Utah.

The Sparks will have the No. 2 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft, giving them the chance to add more talent around Brink and the talented frontcourt duo of Dearica Hamby and Rickea Jackson.
