Just a few days after she won her second WNBA Championship with the Phoenix Mercury, Cappie Pondexter underwent eye surgery in order to repair any retinal damage she may have had after colliding with another player during last Friday’s decisive game five against the Indiana Fever.
Cappie Pondexter will recover from eye surgery before she heads overseas to play basketball for Russia.
During the trophy presentation, Pondexter’s eye looked visibly swollen as if she had just gotten into a fist fight. Despite being injured, she scored 24 points during the final game and tossed in an incredible overall performance that helped the Mercury win yet another championship title.
According to ESPN.com, Pondexter’s surgery went well. She’s taking a little down time before heading off to Russia to play for UMMC Ekaterinburg.
That’s it for the 2009 WNBA season. Bring on college basketball!
