"Heading into 2020 Free Agency, we wanted to add players that possess multiple skill sets and Kristi is at the top of that list," coach Derek Fisher said in a statement. "Kristi understands the habits and dedication required on a daily basis to build a championship culture. We're all excited to have her rejoin the Sparks family."

Toliver joined the Sparks in 2010 after being traded by the Chicago Sky, who drafted her third overall in 2009. The Sparks made the playoffs in six out seven seasons with Toliver on their roster.
