KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Lady Vols' forward Tamari Key shed some more light on her decision to return for a fifth year next season, with a post on Twitter Monday afternoon.
Key cited Name, Image and Likeness deals and a number of other perks in a post that caught the attention of thousands of people, including Lady Vol legend Tamika Catchings.
"Proud of you Tamari," Catchings wrote in a quote. "#SpeakYOURTruth."
Tamari Key said other factors in her decision to come back were getting another year to enjoy the school she loves and the ability to pursue multiple degrees while under scholarship. She also said the extra year will afford her more time to work on her game and get better in preparation for the WNBA Draft.
Key missed most of the 2022-23 season after doctors found blood clots in her lungs during testing. She announced she would return for a fifth season on March 6.
