Sparks move game vs. Caitlin Clark, Fever

Several WNBA teams have made adjustments to their contests against the Fever due to the hype surrounding Caitlin Clark, and the Sparks are one of the latest teams to do so.

Friday's game was originally scheduled to take place at Long Beach State's Walter Pyramid due to construction at its home arena, Crypto.com Arena. Walter Pyramid has a 4,000-seat capacity compared to the 19,000 at Crypto.com Arena, meaning a smaller crowd and more expensive tickets on the resale market to see the matchup.

But on May 7, the Sparks announced the game against the Fever would be moved back to their home arena, allowing "the ability to have more fans in the stands," Sparks president Christine Monjer said in a statement.
