Phoenix, AZ -- (Sports Network) - Phoenix Mercury guard Cappie Pondexter underwent successful surgery on her right eye.

The procedure was done in order to prevent future retinal detachment in the eye, which suffered trauma when Pondexter collided with a member of the Indiana Fever during Game 5 of the WNBA Finals.

A Chicago native, Pondexter led all scorers with 20.8 points and led Phoenix with 5.0 assists per contest as the Mercury won their second league title.

Following the recovery period, Pondexter will play in Russia before returning for the 2010 WNBA season.
