WNBA Roster Moves

Former South Carolina standout Ta’Niya Latson was waived by the Los Angeles Sparks on Monday, marking the latest cut in a whirlwind season for the second‑round pick of the 2026 WNBA Draft.

Latson’s brief stint yielded modest numbers — 1.8 points per game over ten appearances — but her most notable outing came against the Minnesota Lynx, where she posted six points, three rebounds and two assists.

The Sparks have been active in reshaping their roster, announcing the signings of forward Alissa Pili and guard Kate Martin in the past 24 hours as they look to inject fresh talent ahead of the upcoming stretch.

Latson joins Sania Feagin, the first Gamecock to be released by the franchise this season, who has quickly found a new home with the Portland Fire after clearing waivers.

The moves underscore the competitive nature of WNBA rosters, where teams constantly evaluate emerging prospects while balancing veteran presence.
