LOS ANGELES (AP) — Curt Miller is leaving as coach of the Los Angeles Sparks after the WNBA franchise missed the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season and second under him.
The team on Tuesday announced Miller’s dismissal, saying the sides had “mutually agreed to part ways.”
The Sparks, who own three WNBA championships, will begin their search for a new coach immediately.
The team was a league-worst 8-32 this season while enduring a series of injures, including to rookie Cameron Brink. They were 25-55 in Miller’s two seasons at the helm. This season, Dearica Hamby earned All-Star honors and The Associated Press Most Improved Player award. Rickea Jackson was voted to the AP All-Rookie Team.
