Karlie Samuelson has re-joined WNBA side Los Angeles Sparks after being handed a seven-day contract following her impressive displays at FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2019.

The California native made 20 appearances for the Sparks in 2018 and was part of this season’s training camp roster before being released.

Samuelson averaged 11.1 points per game for GB in Riga and Belgrade as part of the historic run to the semi-finals.

The guard fired in a personal best of 28 points in a crucial win over Montenegro and hit a total of 10 threes in her first major international tournament.

Meanwhile, Temi Fagbenle has returned to action with Minnesota Lynx – averaging 19.5 minutes per game in two appearances since making the All-Star Five at EuroBasket.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
