Sparks legend Lisa Leslie will be honored with a statue outside the Staples Center, according to the Los Angeles Times' Arash Markazi.
Leslie will be the 11th individual to receive a statue outside the Staples Center in Star Plaza. She will also be the first female athlete to be honored with a statue.
No date has been set for Leslie's statue unveiling, per Markazi.
Leslie is one of the most accomplished players in WNBA history. She was the league's MVP in 2001, 2004 and 2006 and was an All-Star in eight of 12 WNBA seasons.
