LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Sparks<\/a> hired Latricia Trammell as special assistant to coach Lynne Roberts on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Trammell was fired as Dallas Wings<\/a> coach after two seasons in October. She returns to the Sparks, where she was an assistant from 2019-22, helping Candace Parker earn 2020 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year honors.<\/p>\n

During Trammell’s first stint with the Sparks, Nneka Ogwumike<\/a> and Brittney Sykes<\/a> each were named to the league’s All-Defensive team, and Sykes earned two All-Defensive second team nods.<\/p>\n

Trammell began in the WNBA as an assistant in San Antonio, where she worked with current Sparks players Dearica Hamby<\/a> and Kelsey Plum<\/a>. From 1994 to 2017, Trammell coached in high school and college.<\/p>\n

“I’m incredibly honored and grateful to return to the Los Angeles Sparks – an organization that holds a special place in my heart,” Trammell said. “This franchise has a rich legacy, a passionate fanbase and a commitment to excellence that aligns with everything I believe in as a coach.”<\/p>\n
