PHOENIX (AP) — Phoenix Mercury rookie guard Jovana Nogic will miss the remainder of the season due to personal reasons.
Nogic is the Mercury's third-leading scorer at 10.4 points per game and was shooting 42% from 3-point range.
“This was not an easy decision, I love Phoenix, our organization and our fans,” Nogic said in a statement on Monday. “The Mercury community made me feel welcome from day one, and I look forward to returning to Phoenix next season.”
Nogic played overseas after four years at Providence and signed with the Mercury as an undrafted free agent before this season. She had not played since June 17.
“The well-being of our players is our top priority,” Mercury general manager Nick U’Ren said. “We appreciate the hard work, commitment and joy she brought to Phoenix this season.”
The 7-13 Mercury also will be without center Natasha Mack for at least two weeks due to a bone bruise in her left foot.
