a 40-point win over the Las Vegas Aces<\/a> \u2014 A\u2019ja Wilson, Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray all rested \u2014 at Barclays Center on Aug. 9: 13 points, eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m glad that I had that little spot in the middle of the season,\u201d said Allen, who was honored for her time in New York in a ceremony during Barclays Center\u2019s final regular season game on Sept. 23. \u201cI was playing and getting some minutes where I really felt that I took a hold of that, and was able to show myself a little bit here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Allen said the elimination loss \u201chas not sunk in in any way,\u201d and that she still felt like the team is scheduled to play \u201cin a couple days.\u201d<\/p>\n
But there are no more games for Allen, who was known as a disruptor on defense with her lengthy build. Instead, she moved closer to her next potential career after ending her basketball life following three FIBA World Cup medals and a FIBA Asia Cup medal.<\/p>\n
Next up for the Australian?<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I want to be an agent. That\u2019s what I\u2019m looking into. I\u2019d like to be a sports agent. So I\u2019ve been looking at that. I\u2019m someone who\u2019s really passionate about this game, and I just feel that I understand what players want. I feel like I\u2019m a trusted individual as well, and obviously you\u2019ve got to learn a bit in that. But that\u2019s an area I want to be in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Allen\u2019s experience as a commentator in the Melbourne Basketball League (MBL) also interested her in some sort of a potential career in that role.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou get the adrenaline rush that you get when you play,\u201d Allen said of being a commentator.<\/p>\n
Still, with her eyes set on taking steps in retirement, Allen can see the growth of Liberty moving forward \u2014 even with herself removed from the organization.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just feel with the team that we have, I see us going further. I really saw us being in that final \u2014 in that championship game,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rebecca Allen entered the 2026 WNBA season with the intention of it being her last.
