Donne awaits WNBA medical review panel. MORE:
The Mystics star, who was the league Most Valuable Player last year, has battled Lyme Disease since 2008 and would potentially be at a higher risk for serious illness if she contracted the new coronavirus.
The panel of physicians decides whether a player would be medically excused and receive full salary for the upcoming season, which is scheduled to start at the end of the month at IMG Academy in Florida. Players can still opt out and skip the season if the panel does not grant them a medical waiver. They will not get paid if they opt out.
Even if they could signing a player it wouldn’t be as easy as previous seasons. Any player that Washington or any other team would sign would have to get to Florida and be quarantined off campus for three days and then four additional days on campus. The player would be tested for COVID-19 each of those days.
