Epiphanny Prince retires from basketball after a 14
NEW YORK (AP) — Epiphanny Prince announced her retirement on social media after playing 14 seasons in the WNBA.
The 36-year-old guard retired after averaging 10.7 points, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals in 315 career games with Chicago, Las Vegas, Seattle and New York.
Prince rose to national fame when she scored a record 113 points in a high school basketball game before going to Rutgers. She helped the Scarlet Knights reach the national championship game her freshman year.
“I have been fortunate to have a long career filled with unforgettable memories,” Prince wrote in an Instagram post. “A lot of winning, ups and downs, traveling the world, and meeting so many amazing people.”
Prince spent many of her off-seasons playing overseas, including in Russia. She played for the Russian national team in 2013 and 2015 trying to help the squad qualify for the world championships and Olympics. The Russians didn’t make either tournament.
