Park Ji-hyun of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) LA Sparks recorded double-digit points, helping her team snap its losing streak.

Playing about 18 minutes in an away game of the 2026 WNBA regular season against the Portland Fire at the Moda Center in Portland, USA, today (August 3), Park posted 12 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, and 1 steal.

Park, who debuted on the WNBA stage this season wearing a Sparks uniform, scored in double digits for the second time following her 13-point performance against Minnesota on June 18.

Park delivered an efficient performance, shooting 71.4 percent (5-for-7) from the field, including making 2 of 3 attempts from beyond the arc.

The Sparks, who had struggled through a six-game losing streak starting with the Atlanta game on July 14, secured a long-awaited victory by defeating Portland 106-101.

With an 11-17 record for the season, the Sparks sit in 9th place among 15 teams.
