The WNBA season may be over and done with, but basketball never stops. With so many athletes still participating in basketball overseas during the offseason, it’s important to keep tabs on their performance.
For the first time since the pandemic began, overseas players can play in the Women’s Chinese Basketball Association (WCBA). Current and former WNBA players are taking advantage, with nearly a dozen participating. Here are a few of the players that have stood out so far:
Cheyenne Parker (Zhejiang)
Cheyenne Parker had a career year for the Atlanta Dream this season, and she’s taken that momentum and brought it to the WCBA. Playing for the Zhejiang, she is the team’s clear star player. She has helped her squad begin the season with just one loss and is coming off her best game of the season, scoring 31 points and grabbing 19 boards in the team’s 106-100 overtime win against Shandong, which is the team Satou Sabally of the Dallas Wings plays for.
Alyssa Thomas (Shanxi)
Come root for Alyssa Thomas in the WCBA. She plays for Shanxi, which happens to be one of my favorite teams this season. FISU Games phenomenon Liu Yutong has also joined Shanxi as a rookie this year. The season starts tomorrow and it’s going to be a lot of fun! pic.twitter.com/Zy8O3hf4rL
