TULSA, Oklahoma -- The Tulsa Shock (3-13) are trying to rebound from a 10-game losing streak by signing veteran guard Ivory Latta, waiving Natasha Lacy.

The move returns Latta to the Shock roster, which she was released from just prior to the start of this season. She’s averaged 7.0 points per game in her three years in the WNBA. The guard has played for the Shock franchise when it was in Detroit, along with two seasons with the Atlantic Dream.

The former North Carolina standout appeared in all 16 games with the Shock this season, averaging 6.3 points and 3.5 assists per game.

The Tulsa Shock travel to Indiana Thursday to tip off against the Fever at 6 p.m.
