The Stanford alumnus opens up about her offseason rehab and how she handles social media criticism
By Erica Ayala • 8 min readThe Connecticut Sun are a league-best 11-1 heading into their Saturday matinee matchup with the Dallas Wings. They lead all teams in overall defensive rating (90.9) and give up the fewest fast break points (8.8) and points off turnovers (13.7) per game in the WNBA this season.
