In an exclusive chat with Basketballghana.com on her visit to Ghana, the five time All Star opined she plans to play before the 2019 regular season concludes. She said:
“My expectations have been succeeded we put together a basketball camp in four days I got to mingle with the girls…in a short amount of time, I got to do so much. Once I go back to the States I am going to continue training because you know I tore my ACL so I am going to play the last game of the season (on) September 8 and then I am going to prepare for USA Basketball which is for the Olympics (2020).”
