Jordin Canada · Officially back in the Atlanta Dream’s rotation for a second-consecutive game, Jordin Canada likely understood the potential of rust as she worked back into rhythm following both a finger injury and the month-long Olympic break. One certainly wouldn’t have known it on August 18, 2024, given how much of a hand she had in the ultimate result. A proven, veteran floor general in every sense, Canada, recognizing Atlanta’s need for direction during an uncertain offensive possession, drifts towards the floor’s center in preparation for an isolation against Tyasha Harris. Intuitive in her use of a could-be pick-and-roll, Canada rejects it, drifting into an audacious stepback 3-pointer, extending Atlanta’s third quarter lead to seven in the process. Canada continued to play an immeasurable role in Atlanta’s postseason push, helping guide a second-consecutive victory in the upset win over the Connecticut Sun. In do-it-all mode, the two-time WNBA champion loaded the box score with an efficient 19 points, alongside four rebounds, six assists, six steals, and two 3-pointers. · State of Mint
