While it’s still unclear when the next real sporting event will be, April 17 brought a bit of a return to sports with the 2020 WNBA Draft.
The draft, done virtually, saw 36 college players brought into the WNBA to begin their professional career.
However, prior to the No. 1 pick, the WNBA honored Gianna Bryant, Alyssa Altobelli, and Payton Chester — the three young girls who lost their lives on Jan. 26 — by making them honorary draftees.
The three girls were selected to the league in a heartfelt tribute that featured family members such as Chester’s father, Altobelli’s brother and sister, and Bryant’s mother.
