WNBA Phoenix Mercury

Mercury Aquires Draft Pick from San Antonio

Phoenix Mercury News Release


PHOENIX - The three-time WNBA Champion Phoenix Mercury today acquired a 2017 second-round pick from the San Antonio Stars in exchange for guard Monique Currie.

"This was a difficult trade to make because Monique made great contributions for us last season and because she's so well-liked by her teammates and our staff," said Mercury General Manager Jim Pitman. "Ultimately, though, this trade gives us flexibility now and in the future, and provides an opportunity for some of the young players who we are so excited to have added to the best veteran core in the WNBA."

Currie signed as a free agent with Phoenix on February 5, 2014, and averaged 8.4 points and 5.1 rebounds in 34 games in her only season with the Mercury in 2015.

The starting lineup that won it all in 2014 is back! Diana Taurasi and Penny Taylor return to join 2015 All-Star trio Brittney Griner, Candice Dupree and DeWanna Bonner as the Phoenix Mercury pursue a league-record tying fourth WNBA title in 2016. Tickets for the Mercury home opener on Friday, May 20, and the other 16 regular-season Mercury home games can be purchased by calling 602.252.WNBA or by visiting PhoenixMercury.com.
