Rodgers was part of the 2013 Minnesota Lynx team that won that season’s championship. She also is a 2017 All-Star and participated in the 3-point contest at the All-Star Game in Seattle. She has played under Laimbeer for much of her career as he was Rodgers’ coach during her tenure with the New York Liberty.
She played just under 12 minutes last season on a star-studded Aces squad that will once again feature a healthy collection of stars. Rodgers averaged just over three points per game in 2019.
