Prior to her time in Indiana, the Sparks announced the signing of Peddy, a veteran guard, in mid-June to a hardship contract.

The 5-foot-7 guard averaged six points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists per contest across her first 116 WNBA games spanning five seasons.

Before suiting up with the purple and gold, she last played for the Phoenix Mercury.
