Kidney donation between former suburban coach, basketball player creates bond for life

Nearly 40 years after coaching her basketball team, a suburban coach and a former player have a new "forever" bond. And with Thursday, March 12 being World Kidney Day, the pair is sharing their inspiring story.

Tina Charles had 31 points, 10 rebounds and five assists to help the Washington Mystics beat the Chicago Sky 79-71. 

The Mystics (12-18) -- who played without Elena Delle Donne (back), Ariel Atkins (personal reasons) and Myisha Hines-Allen (non-COVID illness) -- have a one-game lead, with two games to play, over the Los Angeles Sparks and the New York Liberty for the final playoff spot. 

Chicago (15-15) needs to win one of its final two games to secure the No. 6 seed -- and a first-round game at home -- in the playoffs. Azura Stevens led the Sky with a season-high 18 points.
