After missing the playoffs for the first time since 2011, the quest to return to the postseason for the Los Angeles Sparks begins on May 6. And for the first time in franchise history, Candace Parker will be suiting up for the opposing team, as the defending champion Chicago Sky host the Sparks to ring in the 2022 WNBA season.
The 2022 WNBA schedule will include 36 games for each team, 18 home and 18 away, for the first time in league history. The season will reportedly also feature the second edition of the Commissioner’s Cup, which debuted in 2021.
