After being drafted by the Golden State Valkyries, Kaitlyn Chen was waived before the team’s inaugural game. Fortunately for her, she continues to play basketball professional, like another Asian American who was drafted by the WNBA and then waived. Kaitlyn Chen has signed with the 3xBA (3 x3 Basketball Association). She will join 3×3 play at the Spokane Hoopfest in Washington State from June 25 through 28.
Who is the other Asian American who moved on from the WNBA? Kaylynne Truong was drafted by the WBNA team the Washington Mystics in 2024 but was waived. She recently played for PAOK Thessaloniki in Greece. Although she wasn’t drafted by the WNBA, her twin sister Kayleigh recently played for the Henan Phoenix in China.
