For a majority of WNBA players, playing basketball all year long is not uncommon. Once the season is over, most of the league’s talents travel across the world to play for various clubs that typically offer a more lucrative form of payment. Atlanta Dream wing Rhyne Howard has already locked in her first international home once her rookie season in the WNBA comes to a close.
It was reported on Tuesday morning that Howard, who is the frontrunner to win the 2022 WNBA Rookie of the Year, will sign with Famila Wuber Schio, an Italian women’s basketball team that plays in Italy’s Serie A and the EuroLeague.
