LOS ANGELES (AP) The Los Angeles Sparks have signed guard Erin Phillips, a two-time WNBA champion.

She led the league in 3-point shooting percentage at .449 last season while helping Phoenix win the WNBA title. Phillips averaged 5.8 points, 2.2 assists and shot 43 percent from the field in 33 games.

Phillips has played seven years in the league, with Connecticut, Indiana and Phoenix. She won her first WNBA title in 2012 with Indiana.

New Sparks coach Brian Agler says Phillips is one of the elite 3-point shooters in the league.
