South Carolina's Staley says school is working to bring 3 former players home
from Israel
The Associated Press
South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said on social media Saturday that the school
is working to try and help a few former players return home from Israel where
they are playing professionally.
The trio of former Gamecocks --- Tiffany Mitchell, Destiny Littleton and Mikiah
Herbert Harrigan --- as well as other former WNBA players are playing
basketball in Israel, which along with the United States, launched a major
attack on Iran on Saturday.
"Please pray for our @GamecockWBB @TiffMitch25 @2121Mikiah @dstnylttltn24 who
are in a war zone in Israel," Staley said on X. "We are working a plan to get
home. Let us pray for our loved ones to return home safely asap! Thank you in
advance."
Mitchell played last season in Seattle, while Harrigan was on the Phoenix
Mercury. Other players in the Israeli league with WNBA ties include Victoria
Vivians, Christyn Williams, Shyanne Sellers, Arella Guirantes and Evina
Westbrook.
"It's 12:48 am and I'm going to attempt to get some sleep," Littleton tweeted.
"Prayers for safety for everyone impacted."
