The Down Low

Elizabeth describes herself as a cerebral player who loves to watch the film and study the scouting reports. This translates directly into her play, as she is known for her high basketball IQ and stellar defense. She has cerebral pursuits off the court as well, hosting "E Talks with Docs," conversations with leading women in healthcare.

But EWill is probably best known for her leadership on the WNBA's Social Justice's Council and the Players' Association. Elizabeth was a huge force behind the Atlanta Dream protesting their racist owner, the players' decision to cancel games following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, and bringing her healthcare knowledge, the WNBPA's focus on health equity in 2021.
