French transgender basketball player Julie Tétart says she is ready for the WNBA if the league offers a contract. Tétart, who plays in France’s women’s leagues, credits a dominant 2025–26 season for raising her profile, averaging about 21 points and 20 rebounds per game in Ligue Féminine 2. She says she would accept an offer if one came, describing it as a chance to discuss practical next steps. Multiple outlets link her comments to a broader, ongoing controversy in U.S. women’s basketball. The reporting centers on statements by Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, who has publicly opposed transgender participation in women’s sports, and the backlash that follows from various basketball figures, including coaches Stephanie White and Cheryl Reeve. One outlet also notes that despite Tétart’s performance, the WNBA has not contacted her, framing her remarks around the absence of an invitation. Taken together, the sources present Tétart as asserting her willingness to compete at the WNBA level while the sport continues to debate transgender participation.
