WNBA champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist Angel McCoughtry joins Chaunté Lowe on The Lowe Point for a powerful conversation about identity, loss, and redefining purpose beyond the game. At the height of her career, Angel suffered back-to-back ACL injuries that didn’t just sideline her physically, but forced her to confront who she was without basketball.
