Elena Delle Donne has officially retired from the WNBA, a decision reached after personal reflection and conversations with her family. Despite retiring, Delle Donne will remain with Monumental Basketball as a special advisor. Her influence on the Washington Mystics and women's basketball has been profound, with CEO Ted Leonsis emphasizing her transformative legacy and impact on the game. While her presence on the court will be missed, her new role will allow her to continue contributing to the sport and inspiring future generations.
After much thought, conversations with family, and soul searching I have finally come to the decision to walk away from playing basketball. It was amazing to look back on all the special teammates, friends, executives, sponsors, staff and most importantly the incredible fans that have accompanied me on this journey.
Elena Delle Donne has been a transformative force for the Washington Mystics and women's basketball. A champion and MVP on and off the court, her legacy as a player, leader, and ambassador will leave a permanent mark on the game.
One of the greatest players of all time, and one of only two named Most Valuable Player for two different franchises. Elena knows what individual greatness and team success look like.
