Hamby is coming off a career-best 2025 campaign in which she averaged 18.4 points and 7.9 rebounds while shooting 57.2 percent from the floor. With Nneka Ogwumike now slotted alongside her in the frontcourt, Hamby figures to continue feasting in the paint while her new running mate stretches the defense from the perimeter. The Sparks open the regular season at home against the Aces on Sunday.
