NEW YORK CITY — Nestled within a sea of New York Knicks fans were some eye-popping salmon-pink and apple-green hoodies draped upon 20 African-American women in Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.
Even with 200 or so people in attendance to witness Westchester County, New York native Donovan Mitchell take on his hometown Knicks for the second time of his career, the Utah Jazz guard was most proud to have the support of those ladies scattered throughout Section 108.
The women were all members of the Alpha Kappa Alpha, Omicron Upsilon Omega Sorority graduate chapter, along with his mother Nicole, who came to support him in the midst of Women’s History Month.
