Charlisse Leger-Walker is back on the court in United States college basketball, following much of last season on the sidelines with a torn ACL. Leger-Walker began her NCAA career with Washington State University, but now a graduate student working towards her masters, she has made the move to UCLA. The Tall Fern, and Commonwealth Games bronze medalist had been considered a strong candidate for the 2024 WNBA draft before she withdrew from consideration following her injury. 

But now she’s back playing, I spoke to her on Friday afternoon just before UCLA took on the Washington Huskies. She says the WNBA draft is back in her sights this year.
