Jacki Gemelos’ best attribute as a basketball player was one born out of necessity: her fight. Through five ACL tears and eight knee surgeries, being cut from WNBA teams six times and going four seasons between her first and second WNBA seasons, Gemelos did everything she could to get her shot in the league.
For years, her friends and family had pleaded with her to consider retirement. It hit her hardest when, after her third ACL tear, her dad told her maybe she should look into another career, to find something that wasn’t as hard on her body. But in the offseason following the WNBA bubble season — her second season in the league, and eight seasons after being drafted out of USC — it became clear to her that playing was no longer an option, the recovery wasn’t getting her to a place where she could give her game what it required.
