NORMAL — Illinois State women’s basketball newcomer Jada Stinson will be making a stop before she plays for the Redbirds this fall.
Stinson, a graduate transfer from Arkansas, has been selected to Puerto Rico’s roster to compete in the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, the Puerto Rico Basketball Federation announced Wednesday night.
The Puerto Rico women’s basketball team will be making its historic first appearance at the Olympics on July 27 at 7 a.m. (CT) against China. The squad will also face Australia and Belgium in Group C play.
“It means so much to represent an island that has so much pride and love for one another,” said Stinson, a 5-foot-8 guard.
