Guard Shay Ciezki has officially signed a rest-of-season contract with the Phoenix Mercury, just a day after her career-best 22-point performance against Portland. Ciezki's notable 17-point third quarter against Portland established a new Mercury rookie record and is tied for the second-highest single-quarter scoring output in WNBA history.
Originally signed as an undrafted free agent in April, Ciezki's journey with the Mercury has seen multiple stints, including being waived twice. She returned on a developmental deal and recently made her WNBA debut against the Indiana Fever. Ciezki is recognized for her impressive collegiate career, where she achieved a 53/45/91 shooting split and averaged a school-record 22.8 points per game, making her one of the few NCAA Division I players with a 50/40/90 season while scoring over 20 points per game.
