French Transgender Basketball Player Says She Would Accept Opportunity to Play in the WNBA
The 34-year-old center averaged about 21 points and 20 rebounds per game and set a league rebounding record, earning three major awards.
- Monaco Basket Association center Julie Tetart dominated France's Ligue during the recent season, averaging roughly 21 points per game while leading the league in rebounding.
- After stepping away for three years to undergo gender-affirming procedures, Tetart returned to the court in 2021 as the first transgender athlete to join a sports team in Monaco.
- Tetart earned recognition as Domestic Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, recording a new league record for rebounds in a March game with the highest overall player evaluation rating.
- Her profile has surged during public debates regarding transgender athletes in women's sports, which Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham recently addressed, though Tetart remains focused on her immediate career in France.
- While Tetart described playing in the United States as a childhood dream, she noted, "If they contact me, I won't say no. But you have to be realistic, I'm old, and there are far better players than me.
