MICHAEL Strahan’s daughter Sophia, 19, has blown off steam courtside amid her sister Isabella’s brain tumor battle.
On Wednesday, Sophia, 19, attended an NCAA men’s basketball game and shared an image from her courtside seat in an Instagram Story.
In the snapshot, Michael‘s teen daughter pointed the camera at the scoreboard as the Louisville Cardinals competed against the Duke Blue Devils.
The players seemed ready to jump and grab the rebound.
Based on the score at the time, Duke had the advantage with a 15-pint lead.
Sophia – a student at Duke University in North Carolina – showed off school spirit and watched the team lose.
Duke ended up crushing Louisville with their 84-59 win, according to ESPN.
THE INTERVIEW
Sophia has been keeping busy – with a positive mind – amid sister Isabella’s current health struggles.
In mid-January, Isabella, 20, revealed she was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a rare condition that accounts for about 20 percent of all childhood brain tumors.
On Good Morning America, Michael, 52, and Isabella sat down for an emotional interview with his co-anchor Robin Roberts, 63.Isabella burst out crying while talking about how rare her condition is.
Michael immediately handed her a tissue and put a supportive hand on her leg.
“I told myself I wasn’t going to cry!” she cried.
“It happens. You’re allowed to cry,” Robin added.
“Take your time.”
“It’s been like, two months of keeping it quiet, which is definitely difficult,” Isabella went on.
“I don’t wanna hide it anymore ’cause it’s hard to always keep in. I hope to just kind of be a voice, and be [someone] who people, maybe [those who] are going through chemotherapy or radiation can look at.”
The diagnosis came several weeks after she experienced headaches at the start of her Freshman year at the University of Southern California.
“I didn’t notice anything was off till probably like October 1st,” Isabella said.
Michael took a weeks-long break from hosting GMA at the time, citing “personal family matters.”
Rebecca Jarvis, Gio Benitez, Linsey Davis, and DeMarco Morgan filled in for Michael while he was gone.
‘FAMILIAR FACES’
Meanwhile, the former New York Giants star has also been keeping himself distracted.
Former New York Yankees player Alex Rodriguez and business journalist Jason Kelly will interview the retired footballer in a new podcast, The Deal.
Alex and Jason’s podcast speaks with athletes and executives about “the wins, the losses, and lessons learned along the way.”
“If I knew what it was gonna be, I would’ve put everything I had into it!” the ex-NFL star said in a promo.
On Friday, the GMA host reshared the short video and teased his appearance would be coming soon.
“Spot some familiar faces?” he joked.
