LA Sparks vs Indiana Fever Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Charts for June 26 | 2025 WNBA Season

Thursday’s WNBA slate includes the first showdown of the season between the LA Sparks and Indiana Fever. The Sparks enter the matchup on a four-game skid, while the Fever look to build momentum after a big roster shake-up.

Los Angeles has hit a rough patch recently, navigating a grueling stretch where four of its last five games were on the road, managing just one win, which came against the Las Vegas Aces. Tonight's meeting with Indiana marks the third straight game away from home before the Sparks return to host the Chicago Sky on Sunday.

Indiana, meanwhile, is riding high after a win over the Seattle Storm, even though Caitlin Clark struggled offensively, finishing with just six points on 13 shots and committing eight turnovers. Aliyah Boston carried the load with a dominant 31 points and eight rebounds on 13-for-18 shooting, while Kelsey Mitchell chipped in 26 points and four dimes.

But the Fever enter this matchup with an even bigger storyline, waiving DeWanna Bonner, officially ending a mysterious stretch of absence labeled “personal reasons,” and bringing in Aari McDonald as her replacement.

Here’s what to know ahead of Sparks vs. Fever.
