Harshita Saxena is an NBA Writer at EssentiallySports with a stronghold in research, in-depth writing, and diverse storytelling! While still carving her path in the hoop culture, it’s the raw emotion and undeniable energy of NBA fans that have drawn her in. For Harshita, basketball is more than stats—it’s about the individual behind the jersey, the electrifying intensity of the Crypto.com Arena, and the culture that fuels it all. Watching Luka Dončić’s emotional return to Dallas in Lakers colors only deepened Harshita’s appreciation for these narratives that shape the sport. Outside of work, Harshita finds joy in sketching, binge-watching a good series, and vibing to music that hits just right!
