Peters made her WNBA debut on May 20, 2012, with the Minnesota Lynx, scoring 3 points and grabbing 4 rebounds in a win over the Phoenix Mercury. [3]

Peters would remain the primary backup in 2013, leading the Lynx in blocked shots. She played a key role in the Lynx's second WNBA championship, serving as a reliable defensive presence.

On February 2, 2016, Peters was traded to the Indiana Fever in exchange for Natasha Howard. [5]

On February 5, 2018, Peters signed a contract with the Washington Mystics. [6]
