She already set the record once. Now she's going to do it again.
Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman set the record for the oldest woman to play in a WNBA game when she was 39 years old in 1997.
Tonight, she will smash that mark against the host Comets when she takes the floor at Reliant Center at 50 years old.
She told the Associated Press that she expects to play only in Houston.
The Detroit Shock signed Lieberman to a seven-day contract.
The deal comes a day after the Shock announced that Cheryl Ford tore her ACL in Tuesday night’s game. Ten players and Detroit assistant Rick Mahorn were suspended on Thursday for their roles in a fight that aggravated Ford's injury..
Nancy Lieberman (shown coaching the Detroit Shock in 2000 after Martina Navratilova handled the ceremonial jump ball) said her comeback will last just one game.
The Comets (12-12) will face Detroit (16-9) at 8:30 p.m. at Reliant. The game will be on ESPN2.
