Mercury's Pondexter undergoes eye surgery
October 13, 2009
PHOENIX (AP) -The Phoenix Mercury say All-Star guard Cappie Pondexter underwent successful surgery on her right eye, which she injured in last week's WNBA championship game against the Indiana Fever.
Officials with the WNBA champions say the procedure was done Tuesday to prevent retinal detachment. It was deemed necessary after a collision in Friday night's decisive Game 5.
Pondexter scored 24 points, helping Phoenix win its second title in three years.
Mercury officials say Pondexter will return to her hometown of Chicago to recover before heading overseas where she'll play for Russia's UMMC Ekaterinburg team in the offseason.
