Alumni in the Pros
Former Minnesota Golden Gophers players in WNBA 2026, matched by provider player ids (ESPN athlete ids, ESPN bios, linked StatsNBA/EuroLeague ids). Only games after their last Minnesota Golden Gophers game count. These are observed results, not certified complete seasons. League and team are where each player last played a regular-season or playoff game (NBA ahead of G League when he played in both); recent games include the preseason.
1 player-league average(s) withheld while source season, phase, finality or game identity remains unresolved.
