Los Angeles Sparks part ways with GM Raegan Pebley

sportsJul 12, 202612116

The Los Angeles Sparks announced they have parted ways with General Manager Raegan Pebley, effective today. Assistant general managers Zach Knowlton and Nate Nielsen will share GM duties on an interim basis. Pebley had served as the Sparks’ GM since January 2024. The move comes roughly three weeks before the WNBA trade deadline, a timing the New York Times' Athletic noted could have roster implications. The team published the announcement on its official channels and multiple outlets reported the change.

It was either going to be her, The coach, or Kelsey because KP doesn’t strike me as the kind of person who has a high tolerance for mediocrity.

They can still get rid of the coach if you ask me. #WNBA

The Sparks should have fired her in the offseason when she said "you know that multi-year rebuild I undertook? I would like to throw that away now to maybe sneak into a playoff spot."

I wonder what men they're going to find to replace her and inevitably Lynne Roberts when she's given the boot in the off-season.

Imagine a universe where the Sparks took literally anyone else at #2 other than Brink. Also not trading Rickea for no reason.

Corporate bros fire another woman in #WNBA leadership. Now that the $$ is in the W, they are cleaning out all the women who built the W & replacing them with their bros, turning the W into one of their venture capital toys...keep an eye here Thanks for posting @alongcamepoly4thew.bsky.social

It’s a shame they didn’t think to do this before she spent the last offseason making the team older, slower and worse
