LA Sparks Basketball | Postgame Press Conference 6.18.24

Nice to see Li Yueru played well this game, especially on offense. It seems like she will get to start next game with Cameron Brink injured. Good to see her getting more playing time based on how well she’s been playing lately. Li Yueru’s teammates seem to have trouble getting the ball to her whenever she is posting down low with good deep post position. It’s either that, or they don’t want to pass to her whenever she’s posting up.

We are always so close to pulling off a win. Always in the game. A bummer brink went down but li stepped up big. This team has fire power and we will put it together.

[@infared4178]

hope Cam Brink is okay & can be able to compete. i think Li Yueru might need to be in the starting position soon but i need to see a few games from her, she's been very good as of late & feels like a true center on the team. Stephanie Talbot was good tonight despite her fouls. very disappointing games from Rickea Jackson, Kia Nurse & especially Dearica Hamby tonight. i don't know what's going on with them but they need to get it together fast & soon. i like Aari McDonald moving up as an starter but she's needs to work on not turning over the ball so much. Lexie Brown might need to be in the starting position again soon. I'm Sorry but Clarendon needs to be on bench & stay on the bench for a while. hopefully Rae Burnell gives us a better performance than what we saw tonight, Rae still has potential she just needs more time on the court..

Rickea Jackson is a rookie. Let's not put excessive pressure on her after ONE bad game. Until today, she's been fantastic in her minutes.

[@infared4178]

@@brittneyfarley9448 c'mon, were not going to make excuses or sugarcoat things whenever a player doesn't have a good game. we shouldn't be a certain player's large fanbase who makes excuses for her all the time when she plays bad. I'm very aware that Rickea is a rookie, Rickea has been very decent right now, she been inconsistent. There are times when rickea has a great game & there are times when she doesn't have a good game. Hopefully she keep improving but we have to be honest when she playing not good.

@infared4178 I didn't say make excuses. I said she's a rookie and the rookie year is a Learning year. People put too much pressure on a "certain player" who is also a rookie, and I think that everyone is forgetting that this year is SUPPOSED to be the year they make mistakes and learn from them. If Rickea keeps doing the same things over and over and doesn't learn, then we have something to talk about. For now, let her make these mistakes. As for Hamby, that's two she's been underperforming in a row, and I hope she's okay. This is their crappy part of the season, and they're not the only team that starts losing more the longer they play every other day. It even happened to the Liberty.

@@brittneyfarley9448 no prob, i agree.

[@diIbert]

I love that Yueru stepped up. Very promising for Sparks. Going to vote for her in All Star game.

[@brittneyfarley9448]

I vote for her everytime. She's underrated and I'm so glad she's showing everyone what she's made of.

[@ayabellabhojwani24]

Let’s go John Starks!

@@ayabellabhojwani24 I just noticed 😆. Starks was my boy. Diehard Knicks fan.

[@brucelau2023]

Get well soon Cameron!!!! Of all Los Angeles is praying for you right now Wishing for a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

[@diIbert]

Hamby is their playmaker so when she has an off-night its a wrap. But still good Yueru made it a fun game to watch.

[@Gunwitch666]

Get well soon Cam! Best wishes for a speedy recovery! 🙏🏻🌹

[@julieleber6131]

I’m only speculating but I think Brink’s injury is bad, probably an ACL & not an MCL tear that would end her season. Prayers it’s not as bad as it looked when she fell 😭

[@alexslay7260]

Get well soon Cameron. I hope you heal up quickly so that you can carry your Olympic dream and WNBA dreams

[@SinisterAristotle]

That Cameron Brink injury looked terrible. Looked like a possible ACL tear.

[@MrMakingcake]

they got clobbered

[@RandomDude19868]

Rickea only got 25 minutes of playing time; this is inexcusable when she was the leading scorer after the 1st quarter. If you aren't going to help her grow as a player, trade her.

[@clarencejackson8165]

I hope brink ok rickea need the ball in her hands

[@alexslay7260]

Not sure I can watch sparks without brink 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 I will follow sparks but it’s just not the same! Wishing you a speedy recovery
