Nia Clouden declares for 2022 WNBA Draft

One of the most prolific scorers in the history of the Michigan State Spartans women’s basketball team, senior guard Nia Clouden, is declaring for the 2022 WNBA Draft. Clouden departs East Lansing as the second-leading scorer in program history and holds the women’s record and is tied for the MSU record for either gender for most points in a single game with her 50-point performance against Florida Gulf Coast earlier this season.

Hailing from the northern Baltimore suburb, Owings Mills, in Maryland, Clouden chose for forgo an extra year of eligibility she could have used to return next season as a result of COVID-19, and will instead depart the program for the professional ranks.
