With the recently turned pros like Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, and Cameron Brink, new eyes are on the W. But a lot of the already established players are getting shine, and that includes Kysre Gondrezick.
Gondrezick got her start with the Indiana Fever, who picked her with the No. 4 pick in the 2021 Draft. But after being waived, she joined the Chicago Sky in 2024, after initially not making the roster in 2022.
While with the Fever, however, she was able to land a multi-year sneaker deal with adidas, and she admits she went with the Three Stripes because they were the first to see her potential.

“What people label as a transition, I embody as evolution. I’m not stepping outside who I am. I’m building a multidimensional brand.”
Even though she’s not on a team right now, Gondrezick knows the tremendous amount of sacrifice it’s taken to get where she’s at.
“Becoming a WNBA player and getting to that level, you put in a lot of work to get there,” she says. “You have to put in even more work to stay there.”
We’ll have to wait to see the Winter 2025-26 issue once it hits newsstands, with the Instagram post only giving us a peek of her topless, lying on a pool floatie, staring into the camera.
