At 29 and in her sixth year with the Washington Mystics, Tianna Hawkins has become one of the most recognizable names on the team. Despite missing time with a left knee injury, the 6-foot-3 forward still found a way to contribute to the team.
Drafted sixth overall in 2013 by the Seattle Storm, Hawkins, who attended the University of Maryland, was acquired by the Mystics on April 14, 2014. Since then, Hawkins has improved every season, earning more minutes and developing into a player Head Coach Mike Thibault depends upon.
For all that she does on the court, Hawkins plays a different role off of it.
