I don't want this to come off as a counterpoint, but rather a question-isn't the stat line there simply to signify how important the player is? All the focus must be on the domestic violence, but should we ignore what it means from a basketball perpective completely? The focus must be on the domestic violence, but a comment in passing about what it means for the player's career is warranted (I think), considering basketball is the reason we know about it in the first place. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you for writing this.
Heartbreaking but, as usual, beautifully said.

I imagine that Becky Hammon thought she had beaten the odds, but now she’s a top coach in the WNBA. I would be so curious to hear her comparisons.
Heartbreaking. Love your perspective as always
