South Carolina women’s basketball: Gamecocks in the WNBA – Week 9

A’ja Wilson continues to set records, but it was the non-record-setting Gamecocks who made waves last week in the WNBA.

Atlanta Dream (7-13)
Laeticia Amihere (11 games, 4.7 minutes, 1.2 pts, 1.9 rebs)
Against Connecticut, Amihere played a season-high 15 minutes and had a season-high six points and a career-high eight rebounds. It came in a lopsided loss, but it was still good to see Amihere hold her own in the WNBA

 

Last week:
Vs Chicago (85-77 loss): DNP-CD
At Dallas (85-82 loss): 3 minutes, no stats
At Connecticut (80-67 loss): 15 minutes, 6 points, 8 rebounds, block, steal

Allisha Gray (20 games (20 starts), 32.4 mpg, 16.1 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 2.5 apg, 1.0 spg)
Atlanta has been decimated by injuries and Gray is forced to do a little bit of everything as a result. The result is some big stat lines but some ugly losses.

Last week:
Vs Chicago (85-77 loss): 35 minutes*, 19 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, steal
At Dallas (85-82 loss): 37 minutes*, 19 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, steal, block
At Connecticut (80-67 loss): 21 minutes*, 19 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, steal

Destanni Henderson (2 games, 12.5 mpg, 3.0 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 1.5 apg)
Henderson was in training camp with the Dream but was cut before the season began. Faced with mounting injuries, the Dream brought her back on a hardship contract on Friday. She suited up and played that night, and got substantial playing time on Sunday.
