Sparks' Tina Thompson still unsure about next season

Sparks forward Tina Thompson remains uncertain whether she will return for the

2010 season, telling The Times today during the team's exit interviews at Toyota Center in El Segundo that she needs time to think about it.

Thompson, a 12-year veteran and four-time league champion with the Houston Comets, signed a three-year deal in March, four months after the Houston organization folded.

She said all season long that she would decide her future on a season-by-season basis.
