Jones warms bench in WNBA debut

17:25 pm on 16 May 2010

Disgraced former American Olympic sprinter Marion Jones failed to score and spent most of the game watching her teammates from the bench in her professional basketball debut on Sunday.

Jones had little impact in the first WNBA game for the Tulsa Shock who lost their inaugural game 80-74 to the Minnesota Lynx.

The 34-year-old, who won a national women's championship for North Carolina in college, played less than four minutes and failed to take a shot.

She was stripped of her five Olympic track medals won at the 2000 Sydney Games - including three golds - and served time in prison for lying to federal investigators.
