Lynx Acquire Seattle Guard Renee Montgomery in Exchange for Monica Wright

While Wright is sidelined indefinitely, Montgomery offers some more flexibility at the guard position.

The Minnesota Lynx announced Monday that they have acquired guard Renee Montgomery and a 2016 second-round draft pick from Seattle in exchange for injured guard Monica Wright.

The transaction will actually mean a return to Minnesota for Montgomery, who was drafted by the Lynx No. 4 overall in the 2009 WNBA Draft.

During her one season in Minnesota, Montgomery was named to the 2009 Adidas All-Rookie Team and averaged 9.0 pts, 2.1 assists and 1.9 rpg.
