“Coming to this league is not easy by any means, especially her path. But to see what she’s already done for this league and in this organization is kind of insane. And you don’t see that a lot in rookies. So, hopefully, like I said, I can make her life a little easier. Not just her, the whole team. But, hopefully, she can make my life a little easier.”
“I think in my 11-year career, I’ve never experienced the racial comments from the Indiana Fever fan base,”. “It’s unacceptable, honestly, and there’s no place for it. We’ve been professional throughout the whole entire thing, but I’ve never been called the things that I’ve been called on social media, and there’s no place for it.
