Asked what she would do with the contest w☂innings, Gray said she would have some fun while also being practical.

“Now that I think about it, had a good nap, maybe I’ll go on a little golfing spree, shopping spree,” Gray said to ESPN’s Holly Rowe while adding she might use the money .

Gray’s double contest win was historic for the league, as she became the first WNBA player to win both events in one night.
