Liron Cohen will join Shay Doron in the WNBA next season after signing with the Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday.
The 25-year-old guard, who averaged 13.2 points in the Europe Cup for Spanish club San Jose Leon this season, starred for the Israel national team last summer, leading the team to the European Championships in Italy.
"This is a big opportunity," Cohen said. "I feel flattered that the Sparks have given me this opportunity. I hope that it will be a great summer for the team, and me as well."
Sparks general manager Penny Toler said: "We are very excited to be able to sign Liron. She is very talented and gifted enough to play both guard positions."
Shay Doron plays for the New York Liberty.
