Nigeria’s D’Tigress captain, Amy Okonkwo, has taken another step in her professional career, signing with a new club in the United States, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Okonkwo, who previously played for Bourges in France, impressed with her performance last season, averaging 13.8 points, 5 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game while shooting 48% from the field.

She has now joined the Connecticut Sun and was recently seen in their camp ahead of the preseason matchup against the Seattle Storm scheduled for Sunday. 

There’s a strong possibility she could feature in the game. Amy is also expected to play a key role for Nigeria’s D’Tigress as they prepare for the 2025 Afrobasket Championship.
