Karlie released by Sparks

The LA Sparks were very short-handed a couple of weeks ago. Two players had not returned from overseas play and Candace Parker was out with a day-to-day injury. Under a special WNBA hardship ruling, the Sparks were allowed to extend their roster and signed Karlie.

Now the three veteran players are back and Karlie's contract has been waived.

Karlie made a fine showing in her short stint in the WNBA. She played in four games for about ten minutes per game. She tallied 14 points, five rebounds, an assist, a steal and two blocks. She made 45.5% of her field goal attempts and 40% of her three-pointers.

This isn't the end of basketball for Karlie. She's signed a contract to play in Belgium in the 2018-19 season.
