LOS ANGELES (AP) โ The Los Angeles Sparks have signed a five-year extension to continue playing their home games at Crypto.com Arena through 2029.
The deal with arena owner AEG was announced Tuesday.
The Sparks, one of the WNBAโs original eight teams, have played at the downtown arena since 2001, winning three league championships. Itโs also where Lisa Leslie had the first dunk in league history.
The team shares the arena with the NBAโs Los Angeles Lakers and NHLโs Los Angeles Kings. The NBAโs Los Angeles Clippers have left for their own new arena in nearby Inglewood. Thatโs where the Sparks played from 1997-2000 at the Forum.
โWeโve made a lot of history in this building, and Iโm excited to witness more defining moments in the future,โ Sparks managing partner and governor Eric Holoman said.
