The WNBA offseason presents an opportunity for stars to showcase their abilities in different leagues. While the Las Vegas Aces are still enjoying their championship run, their forward, Megan Gustafson, found an opening at the EuroLeague champions Fenerbahçe.
The title holders announced the addition of the star forward and also recalled their champion, Kayla McBride, earlier this week. Ironically, Seattle Storm’s Dominique Malonga joined the side, but later backed out. Malonga faced backlash over the controversial contract termination with Fenerbahçe as the franchise made its adjustment.

DiLeo is a former college basketball player who now plays professionally overseas in France.
“Thankful & grateful, my heart is absolutely full! I came to this organization wanting one thing: a championship. And we did it! The season had so many ups and downs, especially when I was injured for half of it. But I’m so proud of how I came back and had the best support system in the world while doing so!” Gustafson wrote in her post.
While the player showed her excitement, A’ja Wilson fired back at Gustafson’s callout with a playful social media post. After completing her second year with the Aces, the US-born Spanish star is an unrestricted free agent in the league.
