In her first All-Star game, she competed against her former college coach Dawn Staley.

In March 2010, Dupree was traded to the Phoenix Mercury as part of a multi-player, three-team deal. Dupree requested the trade.

Dupree would win her first WNBA championship with the Mercury in 2014 as they swept her former team, the Chicago Sky 3-0 in the finals. Dupree had 24 points and 6 assists in the final game of the series. During the 2014 season, Dupree was playing alongside Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner while the Mercury had a record-breaking regular season record of 29-5 en route to the title.
