ATLANTA (August 21, 2015) – The Atlanta Dream has re-signed veteran forward DeLisha Milton-Jones for the rest of the 2015 season.

Entering Friday’s game at New York, Milton-Jones sits just three games (493) shy of tying Tina Thompson (496) for the most by a player in WNBA history.

Milton-Jones ranks 10^th all-time among WNBA career leaders with 5,559 points over her 17-year tenure in the league.

This year she has seen action in 12 games for Atlanta after recovering from an Achilles injury suffered late last season. She tallied a season-best 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting at Tulsa on August 9.
