In June 2009, Prince announced plans to leave Rutgers after only three years to play professional basketball in Europe for a year. According to The New York Times, Prince was only 10 units from earning a degree in criminal justice and African-American studies and planned to complete her degree during the summer of 2009. Her announcement was not binding until she signed with an agent; in August, Prince signed with Wasserman Media Group. Prince initially joined Russian team Spartak Moscow, then Turkish team Botaş Spor, before the 2010 WNBA draft.

In 2015, Prince moved to Dynamo Kursk in the European League. Their team won the 2017 Euroleague.

On December 31, 2022, she signed with Galatasaray of the Turkish Women's Basketball Super League (TKBL).

As of July 2023, her contract had expired. Galatasaray club said "see you on the other side" to the player on July 6, 2023 by publishing a sarcastic bite-away message.

WNBA career

On February 16, 2015, the Chicago Sky traded Prince to the New York Liberty for Cappie Pondexter.

In 2019, Prince was signed as a late season addition to the Las Vegas Aces.

Over her WNBA career, she averaged 22.7 minutes per game, 37.6% on three-point field goals and 10.7 PPG.

National team career

In 2010, she was granted Russian citizenship. She was not on the roster during the 2011 European Championships, nor did she compete for Russia during the 2012 Olympics in London.

Prince played as a point guard for the Russian national team in the European Championships of 2013, where the team finished in 13th place.

Post-Retirement

After retiring from the court, Prince serves as Director of Player and Community Engagement for the New York Liberty.
