Los Angeles Sparks Waive Guard Chennedy Carter

Carter played in 24 games for the Sparks after being acquired from the Atlanta Dream last season

The move undoes one of the residual mistakes from the Derek Fisher era

The Los Angeles Sparks have announced that they have waived guard Chennedy Carter after one season with the team. Carter was acquired from the Atlanta Dream in a trade prior to last season. She played in 24 total games for the Sparks and started 10 of them.

Carter's departure undoes one of the residual mistakes from the Derek Fisher era. Fisher, who was fired as the Sparks' head coach in December, traded for Carter in a move that was widely criticized. Carter is a talented scorer, but she is also known for her poor shot selection and inconsistency. She was also a poor fit for the Sparks' system, which emphasizes ball movement and teamwork.

The Sparks are now left with a hole in their backcourt. Riquna Williams is expected to start at point guard, but the Sparks will need to find another player to fill Carter's role as a scoring threat. The Sparks could also look to add a veteran point guard to help mentor Williams.
