Canty was drafted 29th overall in the 3rd round during the
1999 WNBA draft by the
Detroit Shock. She was the runner-up in the 1999
WNBA Rookie of the Year voting. After playing four seasons with the Shock, she was traded to the

Detroit Shock, she served the 1999–2000 off-season in their
public relations department as an
intern. A year later, she worked as an intern in the public relations department of the
Dallas Mavericks NBA team. After the 2001 WNBA season ended, she served as an assistant coach for the
Chicago State University women's basketball team. On February 12, 2007, the
Chicago Sky signed her as a
free agent.
