“10 years ago, I came into this league grateful,” Bernard said. “Grateful for what God has done for me to get to that moment and to celebrate all the obstacles that were overcome. And now fast forward 10 years, I leave humbled. Humbled by the experiences, relationships, and memories that have shaped me during this time.”

We’d like to wish Giovani Bernard the best as he enters the next chapter of his life.
