Kysre Gondrezick has wowed fans with her latest Playboy shoot
WNBA star Kysre Gondrezick has become the first black professional women’s basketball player to feature in Playboy after posing as a ‘Playmate’ in their recent edition.
Gondrezick, who played for the Indiana Fever before Caitlin Clark joined, joined Chicago Sky alongside Angel Reese in the 2024 season before being waived. She did not play in the league this season, and has developed an extensive modelling career over the past few years. She has amassed over 590,000 followers on Instagram.
She was previously been with Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown, after dating NBA forward Kevin Porter Jr, who accepted a guilty verdict after he was accused of domestic violence against her.

The 28-year-old is seen leaning over a Mercedes with a basketball under her arms, with thousands commenting and hundreds of thousands liking the post.
She has been out of the league for the past year, while speaking on her future within the sport.

She said: “What people label as a transition, I embody as evolution. I’m not stepping outside who I am. I’m building a multidimensional brand.
“Becoming a WNBA player and getting to that level, you put in a lot of work to get there. You have to put in even more work to stay there.”
Gondrezick had been a star at West Virginia before becoming the fourth overall pick in the 2021 WNBA Draft to the Fever, but lasted just one season before being waived.

She has since becoming a model, while appearing at New York Fashion Week and Victoria Secret Fashion Show’s in the past few years.
Speaking on her future in the sport, Gondrezick had previously stated that she will keep herself busy if she does not get another opportunity.
She said: “I am all over the place right now. I’m in acting classes, acting training. I’m getting ready to shoot some film work for 2025. It’s been a heck of a year.
“It is funny, someone said, “You have trended more since you’ve been cut and since you were in the league — and you were trending so much in the league.” I’m just living in the beauty of my purpose.”
