Overview

• TJ McConnell helped power the Pacers to a 111-110 Game 1 NBA Finals win over Oklahoma City, logging nine points and four assists after making a pregame entrance in his sister’s Phoenix Mercury jersey.
• Megan McConnell signed a rest-of-season contract with the Phoenix Mercury on June 3 and debuted that night with three points and three assists before suffering a right knee injury that will sideline her for three to four weeks.
• The siblings traded support gestures on consecutive nights, with TJ wearing Megan’s No. 16 Mercury jersey and Megan arriving at Phoenix’s game against the Golden State Valkyries in his Pacers uniform.
• They became the second active brother-sister pairing in the NBA and WNBA, following Amir and Nia Coffey.
• The McConnell family’s basketball pedigree extends from TJ’s decade-long NBA career and Megan’s Atlantic 10 defensive player of the year honor at Duquesne to aunt Suzie McConnell’s Hall of Fame achievements.
