Former Nebraska women's basketball player Maddie Simon has signed a professional contract with the Avides Hurricanes in the German Bundesliga, the team announced on Monday, Aug. 31.
Simon, who was a four-year letterwinner for the Huskers (2016-19), after starring at Lincoln Pius X High School, will report to Rotenberg, Germany in mid-September to begin her professional playing career.
"I am super-excited, and I am so happy I have another chance to play," Simon said. "I believe I have a lot more in me, and I can't wait to compete. Being on the sidelines was a lot harder than I expected.
