⚔️ ONE BIG THING
The 2024 Honda Inspiration Award winner, Aaliyah Gayles, was the victim of multiple gunshot wounds during her senior year of high school. Surgeries and setbacks following the life-threatening incident would not alter the comeback course she set for herself, however.
Months of rehab turned into almost two years, but Gayles made it. On Nov. 10, 2023, she checked in for her first minutes on-court in a USC basketball uniform to a standing ovation from her team, support staff and fans. A little over two weeks later, Gayles nailed her first 3-pointer as a Trojan, with the USC bench erupting in support of their beloved, charismatic and determined teammate.
