The Phoenix Mercury have signed point guard Lindsey Harding, a nine-year WNBA veteran who was the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft.
The Mercury are the sixth team in Lindsey Harding's WNBA career.
Hardin began the season with the New York Liberty, averaging 3.6 points, 4.2 assists and 22.9 minutes in five games. She's played for Minnesota (2007-08), Washington (2009-10), Atlanta (2011-12), Los Angeles (2013-14) and New York and averages 10.3 points and 4.2 assists per game for her career.
