Wayne Ellington Makes Impact In Mankato Community

Posted Oct 5, 2009
Rookies Wayne Ellington and Jonny Flynn quickly realized the responsibilities of NBA players outside of the intense practices and games. After the morning session on Friday, Flynn and Ellington headed over to the Bridges Community School in Mankato. “It’s all worth it; we are very blessed and very fortunate,” Ellington said. “To be able to come out here and do things like this, reading stories to kids and put smiles on their faces means a lot to us.” (NBA.com)
