Ahead of their showdown with his former Connecticut Sun squad on Sunday, Miller praises the Sparks (5-5) for remaining competitive despite significant adversity.
LOS ANGELES — Sparks coach Curt Miller has nothing but great things to say about his former Connecticut Sun team, which he guided to the WNBA Finals last season.
“I think is the odds-on favorite to win it. I don’t care I say that. I think Connecticut is loaded and so we know what’s coming through the door,” Miller said ahead of the Sparks’ Sunday game against the Sun. However, Miller is equally impressed by the way his team has responded to adversity after playing 25% of the 40-game regular season. If the season ended today, the Sparks would be a playoff team, something that hasn’t happened in Los Angeles since 2020.
“A quarter into the season, with the amount of adversity that we’ve had, the two season-ending injuries and Katie Lou Samuelson before we even started the season, and then everything that’s happened,” Miller said. “We have the most games missed by any team in the league and we’ve been in nine of our 10 games and are .500. If the season ended today, we’re a playoff team, which they haven’t been recently, so I think it’s a remarkable first quarter for us.
Los Angeles Sparks head coach Curt Miller shares his assessment of his team after 10 games into the 2023 WNBA season. The Sparks are 5-5 overall and would be a playoff team if the season ended today.
