Delle Donne coming off the bench?

Delaware's Elena Delle Donne spent Thursday experiencing flu-like symptoms and was on the bench at tipoff of the Blue Hens' WNIT opener against Richmond - for all of 21 seconds. According to Delaware's radio announcers Delle Donne was receiving treatment shortly before the game and wasn't on the floor 10 minutes before tipoff. Because of that, had the Blue Hens started Delle Donne the team would have been assessed a technical foul. And while Delaware coach Tina Martin wasted no time in getting her star into the game, it will be interesting to see if whatever illness Delle Donne was dealing with impacts her performance tonight.
