What happened: Former SF Giants baseball operations chief Farhan Zaidi said every option is on the table and the club must prioritize the long term. His expanded advisory role follows the Sparks' July split with general manager Raegan Pebley.

Why it matters: A sell-off could reshape a roster assembled to contend while creating flexibility for a longer rebuild. The franchise has missed the playoffs since 2020.

By the numbers: The Sparks are 10-17. Pebley went 39-66 during her tenure as general manager.

What to watch: The WNBA trade deadline arrives Sunday, when the Sparks must decide how far to take their reset.
