After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines,
I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect.
If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.
My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.
I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions.
I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices.
I’m simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone — the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.
My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles.
See you at training camp.

NiKo left some strong words about karrigan after their Major win ‼️
"For me he is the MVP of this event. I don't think there's any other IGL that if you put him in this place, within 60 days, I don't think we would be lifting this trophy.
I think for me he is the greatest IGL, one of the greatest IGLs of all time, for me the greatest right now. He has pulled us through a lot of tough moments, we had a huge belief in him through the whole event. The way he has led us to the trophy is incredible and I just want to thank him for choosing us.
The timing was weird, people didn't believe in this... I'm just super happy for him because he has a major won but he also lost a lot of finals so I'm just super happy for him and I'm glad I could share this trophy with him because it was meant to be 8 years ago."
