Saniya River on draft night and her recently deceased mother. (I’m not crying… you know the rest.)
“My mom was sick for a long time and just to know that she pushed to see that day through with me, it’s honestly an amazing feeling…I’m … so grateful for everything she’s done for me the past 22 years.

Those of us who watched the 2025 WNBA draft were so happy that Saniya Rivers' mom was by her side when she was drafted. It's so heartbreaking when someone so young loses their mom. Nice article, Brenden. Very moving.
