Hayes averaged 12.1 points in 40 games for the Sun through the 2023 season. Before joining the Sun's roster earlier this year, she spent 10 years with the Atlanta Dream.

The 34-year-old is not completely leaving basketball just yet. Throughout her time as a pro, Hayes has played overseas during the WNBA offseason -- most recently with Çukurova Basketbol in Turkey. A lot of WNBA players play two seasons to make more money, but Hayes is now choosing to do just one so she can spend more time enjoying other areas of her life.
