Tamika Catchings played her final game for the Indiana Fever on Wednesday night. Her 16-year career ended in a 89-78 loss to the Phoenix Mercury in the first round of the WNBA playoffs during the league’s first year with a single-elimination first round.
She finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 steals — a very Tamika Catchings-like stat line. At the age of 37, and in her final game, she is still doing a little bit of everything for her team.
All the stats, numbers, and honors that surround Tamika’s career are remarkable. She walks away from basketball as the WNBA’s All-Time leader in rebounds, free throws made, and steals.
