She had a setback in her career when the knee injury paused her advancement in basketball in 2022. However, she decided to play in the 2024-25 NCAA season and took the tournament by storm with her performance.

She might be new to the league, but in college, she won the Naismith Player of the Year (2021) and AP First-Team All-American honors. Such accolades early in her career got her recognition from brands as well for marketing and endorsements. Some of them came in the form of NIL deals, while the others were pursued when she entered the WNBA as endorsement deals. Now she is on her way to get the Rookie of the Year honor in her first year in the league. But before that, let us look at the financial portfolio that she holds at this juncture in her basketball career.
