AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP)—The Detroit Shock re-signed key players Cheryl Ford, Deanna Nolan and Katie Smith on Monday. Coach Bill Laimbeer said retaining the three All-Stars and the earlier re-signing of Plenette Pierson make the Shock “a formidable contender for the championship.” Detroit, which won titles in 2003 and 2006, lost last year’s WNBA finals to the Phoenix Mercury.
Ford was the WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2003 and won All-WNBA honors in 2003 and 2006. Nolan joined the Shock in 2001 season and is a three-time All-WNBA player. Smith is a four-time All-WNBA honoree and two-time Olympic gold medalist who joined the Shock late in the 2005 season.
