Deborah Carter (born January 3, 1972) is a former professional basketball player who played in the WNBA for the Utah Starzz in 1997 and Washington Mystics in 1998.

WNBA

[edit]

Carter participated in the WNBA's inaugural season in 1997 as a member of the Utah Starzz. Her debut game was played on June 21, 1997 in a 61 - 73 loss to the Sacramento Monarchs where she recorded 8 points on 4-5 FG shooting.[2] In her rookie season, Carter played in 18 of the Starzz' 28 games (missing an entire 3 weeks from July 22 to August 12) and averaged 3.9 points and 2.7 rebounds as the Starzz finished with a 7 - 21 record.

On February 18, 1998, Carter was selected by the Washington Mystics in the 1998 Expansion Draft. For her time with the Mystics, she averaged 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds in 15.0 mpg. The Mystics finished with a league worst 3 - 27 record (which as of 2023, still stands as the worst record in WNBA history). Carter did not play in the WNBA after the 1998 season and thus the final game of her career was the Mystics' final regular season game that year. The game took place on August 19, 1998 and the Mystics would suffer a 69 - 105 blowout loss to the Charlotte Sting where Carter recorded 9 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.[3]

For her career, Carter played in 47 games and averaged 3.9 points and 2.4 rebounds.
