The Los Angeles Sparks were serious when they announced a public call for male practice players.<\/a><\/p>\n When the Sparks put out this challenge earlier this year, the response from social media struck a nerve with Cameron Brink. A number of the replies made Brink feel uncomfortable about bringing in male strangers to practice.<\/p>\n The Sparks posted a graphic featuring Brink, Rickea Jackson, Kelsey Plum, and Dearica Hemby with information about tryouts for male practice players.<\/p>\n Brink called out some of the more inappropriate and explicit replies<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI guess my confession is I\u2019m really icked out by the potential new practice players,\u201d Brink said at the time.<\/p>\n This week, the team brought the male practice players together, and they competed against the stars on the Los Angeles Sparks.<\/p>\n A short video showed the team struggling to score, as a missed shot led to a rebound for the male team. They would also go down and miss a shot.<\/p>\n The Los Angeles Sparks Have Been Playing Much Better The Los Angeles Sparks want to be in the playoffs.<\/p>\n The team hasn\u2019t had its entire squad healthy all year, but that changed at the end of July with Cameron Brink\u2019s return.<\/p>\n Since her return, the team has won seven of thirteen games.<\/p>\n Eight teams make it to the WNBA playoffs, selected from the 13 total teams in the league based on their regular-season records and seeded into a bracket.<\/p>\n As of right now, the Sparks are just on the outside looking in with their 18-20 record, which is good for ninth place in the league.<\/p>\n There are six more games to play in the regular season for them, so every win from here on out is extremely crucial.<\/p>\n The post Embarrassing Footage Leaks Of WNBA Team Struggling In Scrimmage Against A Bunch Of Male Rec League Players [VIDEO]<\/a> originally published on Total Pro Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles Sparks going against male players (Photo via Twitter) The Los Angeles Sparks were serious when…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":125562,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[4,80191,983,15134,99,68904,434],"class_list":{"0":"post-125561","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-embarrassing-footage-leaks-of-wnba-team-struggling-in-scrimmage-against-a-bunch-of-male-rec-league-players-video","10":"tag-local-news","11":"tag-newsbreak","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-total-pro-sports","14":"tag-wnba"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125561"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125561\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Aug 31, 2025; Los Angeles, California, USA; The LA Sparks logo at midcourt at Crypto.com Arena.
