The new deal takes the 30-year-old forward through the 2025 season.

"I’m grateful for finding a home in LA with an ownership group and organization that believes in me and has been nothing but supportive since the day I got here,” Hamby said in a statement. “I look forward to continuing to build with my teammates and getting the Sparks back to the standard that has been historically set."
