With her four-time All-WNBA credentials, it's easy to assume that Skylar Diggins-Smith already has been an Olympian.
But in 2012, she still was a junior at Notre Dame. And in 2016, she didn't return from major knee surgery until a month after the U.S. team for the Rio Olympics was named.
So at 30, coming off an All-WNBA second team season with the Phoenix Mercury, Diggins-Smith is in the best position of her life to make her childhood dream of being an Olympian come true.
"It would mean a lot to me," Diggins-Smith said Thursday from USA Basketball National team camp in San Antonio.
