ATLANTA – Tiffany Hayes has become the second Atlanta Dream guard to announce plans to sit out the 2020 season.
The Dream announced Tuesday that Hayes, a 2018 All-WNBA first-team selection, said she will not play this season. Hayes did not mention social protests or the coronavirus pandemic in her statement released by the team, but she said sitting out the season “is in my best interest with everything going on right now.”
Hayes said she made her decision “after much thought and consideration.”
Earlier, Renee Montgomery said she will opt out of the season to focus on social injustice and voter registration.
Last week the WNBA announced plans for a 22-game season in Florida without fans in attendance.
