Catchings, a 16-year veteran, will play her final regular-season game Sunday against the Dallas Wings. She has scored 7,353 points in her career, second on the WNBA’s all-time list behind Houston Comets legend Tina Thompson. She is also second in total rebounds, sixth in assists, first in steals and first in both free throws made and attempted in WNBA history.
The 2011 WNBA MVP is a 10-time All-Star and recently won her fourth Olympic gold medal last month in Rio. She celebrated with fellow gold medalist George, who said on Instagram “#ThereCanOnlyBe1Number24InIndy,” referencing the number Catchings has worn her entire career with the Fever. George changed his number from 24 to 13 for the 2015-16 season.
