Today, I was going to publish a piece about the five Washington Mystics games you must see this season. However, I wrote that with a major assumption: that Elena Delle Donne wasn’t going to play this season.
That piece will be delayed a day because of the news around Delle Donne, that her request for a medical exemption was denied.
What are the things we know about the decision to deny Delle Donne’s request?
One common thing I saw coming out of this news last night was the “blame the WNBA” card. The medical panel that denied Delle Donne’s request was NOT solely made up of league-appointed doctors.
