Atlanta Dream forward Nia Coffey doesn’t post gaudy statistical numbers, nor will she show up as a conspicuous talent in highlight reels, but as described by head coach Tanisha Wright, “She puts her hard hat on, comes to work every day and does her job.”
Coffey’s first season with the organization in 2022 was plagued by a right knee injury, causing her to miss 21 of the team’s last 22 games. She recorded two blocks on the season – the lowest of her WNBA career – and looked less of the versatile defender from her season prior in Los Angeles that led Atlanta to sign her to a multi-year, six-figure contract in free agency.
