Makayla Timpson impacts Indiana Fever: Small town roots, where from

INDIANAPOLIS — Makayla Timpson watched her father, Eric, work as a mail carrier six days a week and pastor a church on Sunday as she grew up in Edison, Georgia. Her father’s work ethic and discipline to steward a congregation exposed the Indiana Fever forward to what leadership and diligence looked like.

“He and my mom were dedicated and made sacrifices for me to be where I am today,” Timpson told IndyStar. “We didn’t have it that easy, so we had to work hard.”
