Nigerian Women’s basketball star, Ezinne Kalu has secured a move to WNBA side, Atlanta Dream.
Kalu averaged 18.5 points per game at the Paris Olympics, ranking her fourth in the category, behind only Emma Meesseman (BEL), A’ja Wilson (USA), and Satou Sabally (GER).
The star guard at the Paris Olympics is set to move based on a 7-day hardship contract.

A hardship contract is an emergency contract extended to a player by a team that has less than 11 players available to play. This may be either due to injuries or illness, but the contract ensures that teams have the necessary amount of players available to carry out a game.
Kalu is no stranger to basketball in Georgia, as she attended Savannah State University, where she guided the Tigers to their first MEAC Championship in 2015. She also became the first player in school history to score over 2,000 career points.
