ODU legend Nancy Lieberman signs with Detroit Shock
06:30 PM EDT on Thursday, July 24, 2008
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- The Detroit Shock came up with a way to distract some attention away from their skirmish earlier this week.
The Shock signed 50-year-old Nancy Lieberman, a Hall of Famer and one of their former coaches, to a seven-day contract on Thursday.
The Old Dominion University great became the oldest player in WNBA history at 39 while playing for the Phoenix Mercury in 1997, the league's inaugural season.
A spot opened up for Lieberman when standout forward Cheryl Ford suffered a season-ending knee injury Tuesday night when the Shock, assistant coach Rick Mahorn and the Los Angeles Sparks were involved in a skirmish.
Lieberman will be active for Thursday night's game in Houston.
