On the ESPN Women's World Cup page there is this cool article about Jrue and his wife, Lauren. I know it has nothing to do with free agency or trades or anything, but I thought it was a nice, feel good article. I couldn't imagine working the schedules they do.

There is one cool tidbit about how one of the Pelicans trainers is traveling with him during the tournament though which I found reassuring.

quote:

With his season having ended in April after a first-round playoff loss to eventual NBA champion Golden State Warriors, Jrue was able to plan his summer around Lauren's schedule. Joined by a trainer from the Pelicans and his teenage cousin James, Jrue is following the squad across Canada for the entire tournament to cheer on his wife and her teammates.

While the team was in Vancouver for its Group D finale against Nigeria, Jrue and Lauren explored Grouse Mountain and walked across the famous Capilano Suspension Bridge. Jrue calls that outing his favorite moment of the tournament so far.


What the story is missing is how his leg was doing the next day.

Gotta be difficult to keep some kind of normalcy when you have to schedule around not 1, but 2 professional athletes. Props to them for making it work.

Did it annoy anyone else that he didn't get a single mention/facetime on TV? The guy is a legit NBA player that's married to one of the best USMNT players and everyone and their momma knew he was traveling to all the games hardcore decked out in Red White and BLUE. Feels like they would have acknowledged other athletes if they would have been there supporting their spouse.

FOX hates the Pels

I heard him mentioned several times.The focus was on the game and teams/players. A vast majority of top players are well connected, to harp on each one would take away from the game.

Lauren is retiring from the National Team to focus on family. Her and Jrue are going to have some athletic kids!
