LOS ANGELES — The Sparks waived guard Chennedy Carter on Friday, undoing one of the residual mistakes from the Derek Fisher era. After joining the team in a trade from Atlanta, Carter played in 24 games during her one-year Sparks tenure, averaging 8.9 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 16.4 minutes per game. Carter, who was previously suspended by Atlanta for conduct detrimental to the team, never delivered more than sporadic bursts of energy. When Curt Miller was hired as head coach after the season, Carter was one of two players under contract with the Sparks, but Miller didn't give the young guard a ringing endorsement. Miller and general manager Karen Bryant have retooled the Sparks roster in a busy offseason.
