First Round game on NOW.

Story about a Star:

Her reason to return from UConn to Delaware:

'She missed her family too much, especially her older sister, Lizzie, who is blind and deaf and has autism and cerebral palsy. Long-distance communication between the sisters is impossible. When Delle Donne returned home, that barrier was removed.

Lizzie knows Elena by smell and touch. When she realizes her sister is nearby, her smile glows. Lizzie loves the feel of water and wind, so Elena often sits by a pool with her or drives her around the family’s property in a golf cart.

“She’s my angel and my motivation,” Delle Donne said. “She’s everything to me.”'
