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 WNBAโ€™s original eight teams, have played at the downtown arena since 2001, winning three league championships. Itโ€™s also where Lisa Leslie had the first dunk in league history.

The team shares the arena with the NBAโ€™s Los Angeles Lakers and NHLโ€™s Los Angeles Kings. The NBAโ€™s Los Angeles Clippers have left for their own new arena in nearby Inglewood. Thatโ€™s where the Sparks played from 1997-2000 at the Forum.

โ€œWeโ€™ve made a lot of history in this building, and Iโ€™m excited to witness more defining moments in the future,โ€ Sparks managing partner and governor Eric Holoman said.
