WNBA veteran Angel McCoughtry was pleased to see the news Saturday that the NBA may allow its players to wear jerseys with social justice or social cause messages, instead of their last names.

On June 22, the Las Vegas Aces guard/forward posted on Instagram the suggestion the WNBA players have the option to wear names other than their own on their jerseys. Specifically, of people who have been killed or injured in instances of social injustice, or of front-line workers in the coronavirus pandemic.
