Hell of a player. I wish that last shot would have gone down, because it's what she deserved, but you couldn't realistically ask for any more from a player.

Sarah Spain just announced it on ESPN Radio as “Damn! Aari McDonald is not going to fall to the Chicago Sky. Dang it!!”

Love that shit.

So what's the salary range for #3?

I saw on FB that her earnings from endorsements was going to be less than $100K.

$69K. She is so likeable that she might do better than that with endorsements. At least I hope so.

No reason given:

Typically, such announcements begin with our player leaving our club by mutual consent for privacy reasons and wishing them success in their future careers. This time, however, we don’t want to cover up the reality, because without any precedent, to our complete surprise, Aari McDonald announced late last night that she will not continue this year’s championship and will be traveling back to the United States early this morning.

Both the management, the professional staff and the players were shocked by the facts as she did not justify her decision to us. Our club, as before, has complied with all its contractual obligations.

How fucked up is it that WNBA players have to immediately head to Europe to play after the WNBA season is over just to make some money?
