Los Angeles Sparks part ways with GM Raegan Pebley

sportsJul 12, 202613126

The Los Angeles Sparks announced they have parted ways with General Manager Raegan Pebley, effective immediately. The team said assistant general managers Zach Knowlton and Nate Nielsen will share GM duties on an interim basis. Sparks communications and coverage on sparks.WNBA.com and the Los Angeles Times confirm Pebley had been serving as GM since January 2024. The change comes roughly three weeks before the WNBA trade deadline, a window when the Sparks could be active in roster moves. Local and national outlets including The Athletic and The Times published accounts of the decision and its timing; the Sparks provided the official notice on their website.

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.

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