Isabelle Harrison looks forward to visiting Indiana to support her brother Daniel, who is battling lupus and has been hospitalized due to complications from the disease. As he waits for a kidney transplant, the average wait time is 3 to 5 years. Despite Harrison's participation in the WNBA All-Star Game, her focus remained on Daniel's health struggles, as he has faced numerous challenges related to his condition. Lupus predominantly affects women, and its prevalence is notably high in the African American community, where Harrison lost her sister to the disease in 2017.
"I will say the past month now, he's been in and out of the hospital. The first game this year he couldn't come to because he was in the hospital, the second we had to use a walker since he couldn't get around well."
"It's just been kind of hard for him mentally because he's never dealt with this type of it before. The doctors haven't really seen anything like this."
"It's very prevalent in the African American community."
"Lupus is a chronic disease that can cause pain and inflammation in any part of the body, though it typically affects skin, joints, the heart and kidneys."
