美国女篮运动员埃琳娜·德尔斯·唐恩（Elena Delle Donne）将于周六作为2026级成员入选奈史密斯篮球名人堂 [1]。这位职业生涯跨越十个赛季的球员凭借两次WNBA MVP奖和七次全明星选手资格 [1]，在女职业篮球运动中成就卓著。她的职业生涯于2023年因伤病结束 [1]。
德尔斯·唐恩的篮球之路颇具曲折意味。她曾在大学一年级前退出篮球运动，但一年后重新复出 [1]。在特拉华大学完成本科学业期间，她生涯得分超过3000分 [1]。2013年，她被芝加哥队以第2顺位选中 [1]，正式开启职业生涯。在职业征战期间，她随华盛顿神秘人队赢得2019年联赛总冠军 [1]，并克服包括三个椎间盘突出和莱姆病在内的多项伤病 [1]。
Elena Delle Donne will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Saturday as a member of the 2026 class [1]. The American basketball player's path to this honor was unconventional—she quit the sport before her freshman year of college, only to return a year later and rediscover her passion for the game [1].
After completing her undergraduate degree at the University of Delaware, where she scored over 3,000 career points, Delle Donne was selected second overall by the Chicago Sky in 2013 [1]. Her professional career in the WNBA proved remarkable, as she earned two MVP awards and seven All-Star selections [1]. In 2019, she helped the Washington Mystics capture the league championship [1].
Delle Donne's playing career ended in 2023 due to injuries, having dealt with three herniated discs and Lyme disease during her professional years [1].
