    Three-time WNBA All-Star forward Dearica Hamby is finalizing a three-year, fully guaranteed deal to remain with the Los Angeles Sparks, an agreement that will total close to $3.5 million over the course of the contract, sources told ESPN on Saturday.

    Hamby indicated she would be returning to the Sparks in a social media post earlier in the day.

    The 6-foot-3 Hamby has spent the past three seasons in Los Angeles, last year recording career highs in points per game (18.4) and field goal percentage (57.2%) while also averaging 7.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.6 steals.

    Her return ensures that the Sparks, who last made the playoffs in 2020, are looking to reestablish their status as a contender. In addition to bringing back Hamby, they acquired Nneka Ogwumike in free agency and have cored Kelsey Plum.

    Hamby was named Sixth Player of the Year in 2019 and 2020 while playing for the Las Vegas Aces, with whom she won a championship in 2022. She was initially drafted by the franchise, then the San Antonio Stars, sixth overall in 2015 out of Wake Forest.

    Hamby filed a lawsuit against the Aces in August 2024 alleging that she was traded to the Sparks in January 2023 because of her pregnancy. In December, Hamby and the team mutually agreed to dismiss the lawsuit. 

    Hamby is an Olympic bronze medalist with Team USA in 3×3 basketball from the 2024 Paris Olympics.
