Fielding an intriguing roster with both modern All-Stars and hopeful future All-Stars, the Los Angeles Sparks are slated to tip off their 2025 team training camp this Sunday, April 27.

Now, Los Angeles has announced its training camp roster in a new press statement.

Former Las Vegas Aces All-Stars Kelsey Plum and Dearica Hamby have been reunited in Los Angeles, and will topline a starry roster that also includes 2024 rookie standout forwards Rickea Jackson and Cameron Brink.

All three of the Sparks' drafted rookies — No. 9 pick Sarah Ashlee Barker out of Alabama, No. 21 pick Sania Feagin out of South Carolina, No. 28 pick Liatu King out of Notre Dame — will be there.

They'll be joined by L.A.'s undrafted free agent signing, wing Alyssa Ustby out of North Carolina.

Barker is expected to bolster the Sparks' perimeter defense. When she served as a primary defender, Barker limited the opposition to 23 percent shooting from the floor, good for the fifth-best such metric in Division I NCAA basketball.

Feagin, meanwhile, was a two-time champion with the Gamecocks and posted a 144-7 record during her collegiate tenure. A 2025 All-SEC Tourney honoree, the 6-foot-3 forward averaged 8.1 points while slashing .601/.333/.797 shooting splits, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.3 dimes a night.

She enjoyed her most prolific scoring season in 2023-24 while at Pittsburgh, averaging 18.7 points on 52.3 percent shooting from the floor and 71.1 percent free throw shooting, 10.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks per game.

Last season, the 6-foot-2 guard/forward averaged 10.9 points on .456/.340/.550 shooting splits, 9.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks a night.
