All-Star forward Dearica Hamby has reached agreement on a three-year deal worth nearly $3.5 million to continue her career with the Los Angeles Sparks, according to ESPN reports released Saturday.
The contract is fully guaranteed for the 32-year-old player who has made three All-Star appearances during her WNBA career.
This signing follows Friday’s announcement that Nneka Ogwumike would also be returning to the Sparks roster.
During the previous season, Hamby achieved personal bests with an 18.4 points per game average while shooting 57.2% from the field across 44 games, all as a starter. She also contributed 7.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per contest.
Hamby previously earned Sixth Player of the Year honors in both 2019 and 2020, and captured a WNBA championship with the Las Vegas Aces in 2022. Throughout her professional career spanning 366 games with 188 starts, she has maintained averages of 11.2 points and 6.3 rebounds.
Ogwumike, who previously won WNBA MVP honors, played her initial 12 seasons with Los Angeles before spending two years with the Seattle Storm.
