On the league-wide cutdown date for WNBA rosters, the Los Angeles Sparks have acquired one more young player to fill out their frontcourt rotation.
As reported initially by WInsidr and confirmed to Silver Screen & Roll by a Sparks source, the team has acquired center Kristine Anigwe from the Dallas Wings. The Wings will also send a third-round pick to Los Angeles in exchange for a 2021 second-rounder. That second-rounder originally belonged to Dallas but was sent to the Sparks for Marina Mabrey earlier this offseason.
Anigwe was the ninth pick in the 2019 WNBA Draft by Connecticut out of Cal, but had difficulty earning minutes in a veteran-heavy frontcourt.
