Sibling goals! 🔥🏀⁣
•⁣
Just three days after TJ McConnell advanced to his first-ever NBA Finals with the Indiana Pacers, his sister Megan officially signed her first WNBA contract with the Phoenix Mercury, and made her debut that same night! 👏⁣
•⁣
The 23-year-old Duquesne standout and 2025 Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year had initially been released after training camp, but earned her way back to the roster with hard work and persistence. 💪⁣
•⁣
Mercury coach Dan Burt called the spot “well earned”—and her brothers were quick to celebrate. 🤩⁣
•⁣
TJ and Matty both shouted her out on IG, with TJ writing “Let’s gooooo Meg” and Matty posting “PROVE THEM WRONG.” 🥹⁣
•⁣
Talk about a week to remember for this hoops family! 🔥 #thegist⁣
