Muni Long reveals she underwent a double lung transplant after doctors told her she had one week to live, following her decision to pull out of tour due to pneumonia.
"I should have never taken that tour, but there was so much going on in my life that I had to do it," explained Long, who suffers from Lupus. "About midway through, we’re up in the north east, it’s really cold, and with autoimmune, the cold is really not your friend. I got really sick, I got pneumonia, I had to step away for a few dates. But I’m like this is not it, I got to go back. I went back and I think maybe about five or six dates in, I was like, this is not… I couldn’t even get out of bed to make my call time for the stage. And the last show, I just barely made it, I was only able to do two songs. My team and my family were like, you just need to come home and rest."
"[The doctors] were all like, you need a transplant. I’m like, it sounds like you have a time. How long do I have to live? And they go, a week. One week. And my jaw dropped literally. I was like, ‘That’s rude.’ But they just wanted me to, hey, this is not a joke, you need to make a choice. You can either go to hospice or you can get these lungs."

The Sparks really do have an insane lineage of bigs going from Lisa Leslie to Candace Parker to Nneka Ogwumike
A lineage of mentorship, MVPs, and championships.
Really cool and unique that can only be accomplished by early greatness from an OG WNBA franchise.
