From swish to swoosh.

Currie played in the Nation’s Capital from 2007-14 and once again in 2018.

Her career in the sports realm is anything but over as she will move to work at Nike’s corporate headquarters in Portland, Oregon.

Currie averaged 10.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in her career and was part of the Mystics’ two ever best teams – 2010 and 2018, the latter of which made the WNBA Finals.
