True enough, one of the biggest names in attendance was Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Jordan Chiles, who was sitting courtside to soak in some WNBA action.
The league took note of the 24-year-old's appearance in the game, posting a video of Chiles waving to the camera as the Sparks acknowledged her presence during the contest.
"2x Olympian Jordan Chiles is front and center for tonight's action in LA," the WNBA posted on X.
Chiles, who made her return to UCLA following her successful stint in the Paris Olympics last year, was wearing a white sleeveless Balenciaga top for the game, which she paired with some dark sunglasses to complete her look.

Chiles has been quite busy these days. Apart from bagging gold in the uneven bars of the NCAA Championship, the celebrated gymnast was also featured as the cover model for the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
In March, Chiles published her memoir, "I'm That Girl: Living the Power of My Dreams," which chronicles, among other things, her incredible journey to the 2024 Olympics.
