Sloane Stephens joins famed basketball player Shaquille O’Neal and other athletes in yet another endorsement

Pain is something all athletes have to deal with in one form or another, to varying degrees throughout their careers. Sloane Stephens, one of the most decorated WTA active players in the United States aside from the Williams sisters, is no stranger to pain and injury. She suffered a stress injury to her foot in 2016 and also had to undergo surgery.

For the uninitiated, Shaquille O’Neal, commonly known as Shaq is one of the most famous basketball players. Shaq, who played for 16 teams during his 19-year NBA career, is a four-time NBA champion. Towering over 7 feet, he is also considered one of the greatest players and centers of all time. For a while now, Shaq has endorsed this pain relief balm, which gives you contrast therapy.

29-year-old American Sloane Stephens is ready to join Shaq in this initiative. It’s all the more special for Stephens as he hopes to regularly reach more athletes dealing with injuries.

She is not the only athlete to join the initiative. Darren Waller, who is an American football tight end for the Las Vegas Raiders in the NFL, also joined the initiative along with Rose Lavelle. Lavelle is a footballer who represents the United States internationally.

Collaborating with Shaq isn’t Sloane Stephen’s only connection to basketball. It seems that she also enjoys watching basketball games. According to her Instagram Stories, she and her partner recently spent some quality time at the Celtics game.
