Ariana Andonian officially becomes Sparks general manager

The Sparks have officially named Ariana Andonian general manager, replacing Raegan Pebley; she joins the organization next month. She will oversee roster construction, scouting and long-term strategy, making her background with the 76ers, NBA, G League and player personnel central to the rebuild. Her lack of established WNBA experience and the implications for Lynne Roberts, player development and the 2027 roster remain key questions.
