In exchange for Hodges, the Minnesota Lynx will receive the right to swap second round picks with San Antonio in the 2011 WNBA Draft. Such option must be exercised within 15 days of the conclusion of the draft lottery.

"I am very excited about this opportunity," Hodges said. "San Antonio is a well-respected team around the league and I am looking forward to a great season and great things happening."

The 5'11" guard played four seasons in Houston then spent the 2009 season with Minnesota, where she averaged 9.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.6 steals and 27.3 minutes per game in 33 games. Hodges finished the 2009 season ranked ninth in the league in three-point field goal percentage (68-of-171, .398); additionally, she registered career highs in points (25) and assists (6) at Chicago on Aug. 15 and a career-best three blocks against Washington on July 7.

"We are very excited to add Roneeka to the Silver Stars," said Silver Stars General Manager and Head Coach Dan Hughes. "We have a great respect for the development of her game through the years. She gives us a big guard with skill and is a great teammate. Her play last year exhibited that development in a very effective way and she became a desired free agent this offseason. We are glad her home will be in San Antonio."

Hodges, originally selected by the Houston Comets in the second round (15th overall) of the 2005 WNBA Draft, has played in 136 games – including 45 starts – and is averaging 6.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.1 blocks and 17.6 minutes per game for her career.
