The Sky’s Rebekah Gardner may be a rookie by definition, but her experience says otherwise. Still, 2022 was her first year in the WNBA and Thursday she was named to the 2022 WNBA All-Rookie Team.
Gardner played 10 years overseas where she was largely overlooked by WNBA general managers until the Sky’s James Wade took notice this winter. Wade, who lives in France with his wife Edwige Lawson-Wade and their son Jet during the WNBA offseason, was less than two hours from where Gardner was playing with her club Spar CityLift Girona.
