Cannon, who was waived by the Dallas Wings during the 2024 training camp. Played this past offseason overseas in Turkey for Nesibe. She averaged 18.3 points and 10.3 rebounds over 26 games. She has played in Europe since 2011-12, including stints in Australia, Germany, Israel, Poland and Russia.
Expected impact:
You can never have enough depth in the WNBA, especially from a veteran presence. Cannon will bring in a veteran presence to a championship team that is looking to accomplish only the second Three peat in WNBA history.
Cannon started her WNBA career with the Phoenix Mercury in 2017. After her time with the 2020 Aces, Cannon played a total of 20 games combined in 2021 for Las Vegas, Connecticut and Indiana. After starting the 2022 season with Phoenix, Cannon was traded to Indiana, where she played in 53 games in 2022 and 2023.
