Swoopes 2009 Contract was Waived
Coach Brian Agler has announced that Sheryl Swoopes 2009 contract was waived this weekend, just a day before it would have been guaranteed by the team. Coach Agler says the release of Swoopes was due to salary caps and the need to focus on building depth in the team.
“It was a very tough decision to release Sheryl,” Agler said in a statement provided by the team Tuesday. “Our free agency priorities, right now, are to secure depth both at the post and point guard positions.”
Might Be Time to Focus On Something New For Swoopes
The three-time WNBA MVP and three-time Olympic gold medalist might now pursue something she’s talked about since September — coaching and being a full-time mother.
“I’ve talked to a few people about coaching,” Swoopes said then. “I have a son who is in school here. It is time for me to be a full-time mom.”
