Marion Jones has quiet WNBA debut as Lynx top Tulsa

Posted May 16, 2010
Marion Jones’ path to stardom in the WNBA won’t be a sprint. The former Olympic track star had little impact in limited playing time in her debut for Tulsa on Saturday night as the relocated Shock lost their inaugural game in their new hometown 80-74 to the Minnesota Lynx. Jones, who won a national championship for North Carolina in college, made her return to basketball after more than a decade away. (Yahoo! Sports)
