After 13 seasons in the league, former UNC standout Camille Little retired from the WNBA following her Phoenix Mercury’s playoff loss to the Chicago Sky this past Wednesday–a loss that eliminated the Mercury from title contention.

Little announced back in June that she would retire following the season.

A second-round pick in the 2007 WNBA Draft by the San Antonio Stars, the 6-foot-2 forward averaged 8.2 points and 4.2 rebounds per game over the course of her career.

Her best years came betwen 2009-14 when she was a member of the Seattle Storm, helping the team win the 2010 WNBA championship.

Before she retired, Little was one of just four active players in the WNBA with 1,700 career rebounds and 150+ made three-pointers.

She finishes her career having played for the Mercury, Stars, Storm, the Atlanta Dream and the Connecticut Sun.
