Gamecocks in the W: Amihere Returns, Boston Dominates, and More South Carolina Alumni Updates
Laeticia Amihere is officially back in the WNBA, while Aliyah Boston continues to shine—when the Indiana Fever remembers to give her the ball. Here’s your full update on former South Carolina Gamecocks making waves across the league this week.
Atlanta Dream (5-3)
Allisha Gray
📊 8 games (8 starts) | 35.6 mpg | 20.1 ppg | 5.3 rpg | 4.5 apg | 1.0 spg | 42.9% from three
Despite a quiet showing in a frustrating loss to Connecticut, Gray continued to stuff the stat sheet. Atlanta is still battling its old habits of dropping winnable games.
🔹 Last Game (vs Connecticut – 84-76 loss): 38 mins, 11 pts, 6 reb, 4 ast, 3 stl
Te-Hina Paopao
📊 7 games (4 starts) | 14.4 mpg | 4.6 ppg | 1.9 apg | 1.7 rpg | 38.5% from three
After a strong start, Paopao lost her starting spot due to an eye injury. Still, she remains quietly efficient in limited minutes.
🔹 Last Game: 7 mins, 2 pts, 3 ast
🗓️ Upcoming:
- Tue, June 10 vs Indiana (7:30 ET)
- Fri, June 13 vs Chicago (7:30 ET)
- Sun, June 15 at Washington (2:00 ET)
Chicago Sky (2-5)
Kamilla Cardoso
📊 7 games (7 starts) | 21.8 mpg | 10.9 ppg | 6.1 rpg | 1.6 apg
After a breakout performance earlier this season, Cardoso’s momentum has slowed. Chicago is struggling to keep her involved, and things worsened with the injury to PG Courtney Vandersloot.
🔹 Last Game (vs Indiana – 79-52 loss): 21 mins, 8 pts, 4 reb
🗓️ Upcoming:
- Tue, June 10 at New York (8:00 ET)
- Fri, June 13 at Atlanta (7:30 ET)
- Sun, June 15 at Connecticut (12:00 ET)
Dallas Wings (1-9)
Tyasha Harris
📊 5 games | 16.5 mpg | 4.6 ppg | 2.6 apg | 45.5% from three
Harris remains sidelined with a knee injury sustained against Connecticut. While it’s not considered serious, she’s missed over two weeks.
🔹 Last Week: Did Not Play (knee)
🗓️ Upcoming:
- Wed, June 11 at Phoenix (10:00 ET)
- Fri, June 13 at Las Vegas (10:00 ET)
Golden State Valkyries (3-5)
Laeticia Amihere
📊 Preseason: 2 games | 17.4 mpg | 12.5 ppg | 60% FG
Amihere led the team in scoring during the preseason but was surprisingly waived. Now, she’s back on a full-season contract. With Cecilia Zandalasini off to play for Italy at EuroBasket and Kyara Linskens waived, Amihere has a real shot to contribute right away.
💬 She will be available Monday vs. LA.
🗓️ Upcoming:
- Mon, June 9 at Los Angeles (10:00 ET)
- Sat, June 14 vs Seattle (8:30 ET)
Indiana Fever (4-4)
Aliyah Boston
📊 8 games (8 starts) | 29.2 mpg | 15.3 ppg | 7.6 rpg | 3.8 apg | 66.7% FG
Boston is blossoming in her third season, playing at an elite level. But Indiana is underutilizing her, averaging just 6.5 shot attempts last week. Still, she leads the league in FG percentage—currently at 66.7%, which would rank 3rd all-time for a season.
🔹 Last Week:
- vs Washington: 29 mins, 10 pts, 4 ast, 1 reb, 1 blk (5-5 FG)
- at Chicago: 27 mins, 11 pts, 5 reb, 5 ast, 1 blk
🗓️ Upcoming:
- Tue, June 10 at Atlanta (7:30 ET)
- Sat, June 14 vs New York (3:00 ET)
Las Vegas Aces (4-3)
Tiffany Mitchell
📊 7 games | 13.7 mpg | 3.3 ppg | 1.9 rpg
Mitchell saw more minutes in the Aces’ blowout loss but hasn’t carved out a consistent role yet.
🔹 Last Game (vs Golden State): 17 mins, 5 pts, 1 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl
A’ja Wilson
📊 7 games (7 starts) | 32.6 mpg | 22.0 ppg | 9.9 rpg | 3.9 apg | 2.4 bpg | 2.0 spg
Wilson remains dominant, though Las Vegas’ inconsistency is forcing her to carry a heavier load.
🔹 Last Game: 27 mins, 17 pts, 6 reb, 2 ast, 1 blk
🗓️ Upcoming:
- Wed, June 11 vs Los Angeles (10:00 ET)
- Fri, June 13 vs Dallas (10:00 ET)
- Sun, June 15 vs Phoenix (6:00 ET)
Los Angeles Sparks (3-6)
Sania Feagin
