The Sparks have struggled during the first half of the 2025 WNBA season, but recent performance indicates positive change. With Rae Burrell's return from injury, the team has won three of its last five games, including a significant 99-80 victory over the Mystics. This marks their first winning streak since early June of the previous year. Coach Lynne Roberts expressed pride in the team's resilience through adversity, while Burrell adds valuable offensive energy. Additionally, Julie Allemand has been excelling as a starter, enhancing team performance by facilitating scoring opportunities for her teammates.
I'm proud of us. I'm proud of these guys for sticking with the process because it's hard. Adversity is hard, it challenges you, and it shows you what you're really made of. We're not done, but I do feel like things are starting to click.
Rae [Burrell] is just a firecracker. She just comes in and brings life and plays with speed and all the things. It's nice to bring that off the bench.
With Burrell back, she provides an offensive boost that the team was severely lacking in her absence.
Allemand is a magician with the basketball. She consistently sets up her teammates for success.
