The five time all-star has chosen to spend every off-season in Delaware with her Lizzie and her family, instead of playing overseas, where she could earn a seven-figure salary. Throughout her life and many challenges, Delle Donne has consistently chosen the path that kept her close to Lizzie.Īnd when she strayed from that path, it was never long before she course corrected, back to Lizzie. In the exclusive report titled, “Love & Basketball,” Delle Donne spoke with Kremer about being gay, being tall, and her relationship with her elder sister, and how it’s always been what grounds her. Their relationship is not what you might think, in terms of caregiver and receiver, Delle Donne said. Special thanks to the Los Angeles Dodgers for being our lead sponsor, and to UCLA for hosting the inspiring Outsports Pride Summit. Outsports celebrated Pride, and its 20th anniversary, in Los Angeles during LA Pride, and we were blown away by all of the amazing people who made the weekend such a success.

Thanks to everyone who made Outsports Pride a success! Watch a preview of Kremer’s report below, and scroll down to read more about the Delle Donne sisters. She just knows that I am one of her people, and a really important person in her life. “Lizzie doesn’t know that I play basketball,” Delle Donne told correspondent Andrea Kremer of HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel. Lizzie is blind, deaf, autistic and has cerebral palsy. Holding hands, along with hugging, and a peck on the cheek, are among the only ways Delle Donne and her sister have ever been able to communicate. Rebecca Yale Photographyĭelle Donne and Clifton were graced by a bevy of bridesmaids, none more meaningful than Delle Donne’s big sister, Lizzie, seen here holding her “little” sister’s hand. When we saw their wedding photos, we couldn’t get over the size of that wedding cake! Appropriately super tall, given that one of the brides is 6’5”. Delle Donne is happily married to Amanda Clifton, and the couple was named The Knot’s first same-sex “Dream Couple.” The former “ Chicago Skyscraper” came out three years ago. If ever there was an athlete who could win the celebrity endorsement for love, it’s Washington Mystics forward Elena Delle Donne.
