Glory Johnson says her twins are at home and 'doing well'

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Glory Johnson says her twin daughters are out of the hospital and back home with her after they were born premature last fall.

Johnson said she was 24 weeks pregnant when she gave birth to her twins - Ava Simone and Solei Diem - on Oct. 12. The former WNBA All-Star said Sunday that ''they're both doing well'' and noted that Ava Simone has been home for about two weeks and Solei Diem came home nearly a week ago. Solei Diem stayed in the hospital longer to undergo laser eye surgery.

Johnson sat out this past WNBA season while pregnant but said she is working out again and intends to return this season. The Dallas Wings forward has a seven-game suspension to serve once she returns to the league.
