In 2019, Maya Moore put her WNBA career on hold to help the case of a man she believed had been wrongfully imprisoned.
The six-time All-Star sat out the entire 2019 season to focus her life on helping Jonathan Irons, a Black man who had served more than 20 years of a 50-year prison sentence handed down when he was 18 years old.
In January, she announced plans to sit out a second season and skip the Tokyo Olympics before they were postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Wednesday, Moore visited Missouri’s Jefferson City Correctional Center alongside her family and other supporters.
