The Los Angeles Sparks are hiring Ariana Andonian as the new general manager, the team announced on Friday.

Andonian was previously the GM and vice president of player personnel for the Sixers' G League team.

"Coming home to Southern California to serve as general manager of the Sparks is an opportunity of a lifetime," said Andonian. "This is a franchise with a championship legacy, one that is part of the fabric of women's professional basketball."

Andonian is set to oversee all aspects of the Sparks' basketball operations, including making a decision on the future of head coach Lynne Roberts.

The Sparks are currently 15-25 on the season and set to miss the playoffs for the sixth straight season.
