LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Sparks re-signed guard Karlie Samuelson to a contract for the remainder of the season on Tuesday.

She is averaging 9.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists while starting once in five games this season. Her 59% shooting from 3-point range ranks second in the WNBA.

Samuelson was signed by the team to a hardship contract on May 18. She played with Phoenix last season on a hardship deal.

The 28-year-old guard has also played for Seattle and Dallas during her career.
