To make room on the roster for McBride, guard Yvonne Turner was released from her hardship contract. The 34-year-old has started two games this season and averaged 6.3 points per game.
Former Gophers center Amanda Zahui B also played for Fenerbahce Safiport. She is a member of the Sparks, but won't play for them this season.
