Sky Acquire Cappie Pondexter

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Sky have acquired the rights to veteran guard Cappie Pondexter from the New York Liberty in exchange for Epiphanny Price. Entering her 10th WNBA season, Pondexter owns career averages of 18.5 points, 4 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. Per team policy, contract terms were not disclosed.

"Being able to play for a team and coach with an opportunity to win a championship is exciting," said Pondexter. "Coming home to do it is the best part!"

Pondexter is a two-time WNBA Champion (2007, 2009) with the Phoenix Mercury, earning Finals MVP in 2007. She ranks fourth in WNBA history for both scoring average (19.2) and most 30-point games (20), and is a three-time All-WNBA first-team selection (2009, 2010, 2012).

"I am thrilled to have one of the league's most fierce competitors join our team," said Sky head coach and general manager Pokey Chatman. "Cappie's ability in the open court, half court as well as on the defensive end of the floor makes us a better team."
