Six-time WNBA All-Star Skylar Diggins-Smith made a big career decision in February when she signed a two-year deal with the Seattle Storm. Diggins-Smith spent the past four years with the Phoenix Mercury. But she went through an acrimonious breakup with the Mercury, which led her to the Storm. She recently sat down with ESPN's LaChina Robinson for a wide-ranging conversation. At one point during the interview, Diggins-Smith opened up about her mental health journey.

'There needs to be respect about the fact that she had two children and hasn't played in 20 months. She's not where she will be in Game 4 of the season,' Quinn said.
