Phoenix Mercury player Skylar Diggins-Smith is clearly unimpressed with the treatment she has received from her team while on maternity leave, alleging on social media that she has been excluded from using club resources. Diggins-Smith, who has not played yet this season after having a baby, responded to a social media post from a person criticizing the Mercury for not acknowledging Diggins-Smith’s birthday. “They’re not gonna acknowledge me this year and it’s ok guys,” she wrote.
I can’t even use the practice facility or any resources. But I still love the X-Factor!!” When a user replied seemingly shocked she was not allowed to use Mercury’s practice facility, Diggins-Smith replied: “Sadly, no…or any massage therapists, chiropractor, chefs, strength and conditioning, nutritionist accessibility, etc… they EVERY other player has access to.
