Sevgi Uzun

Hardly a month removed from conquering the overseas stage with a title-raising performance in Turkey, Sevgi Uzun didn’t have the luxury of time before adjusting her scope to the WNBA climate. Yet, as she found herself in the right place at the right time and in position to connect on her first-ever WNBA bucket, her shot attempt proved that accuracy and quick thinking wouldn’t be a problem. Keeping towards the perimeter during a scramble for a loose ball, Uzun benefits from her teammate’s high-IQ tap pass, corralling the ball while calmly flowing backwards into a wide-open milestone 3-pointer. Uzun’s long-range shooting — and versatility elsewhere — helped the Dallas Wings stay closely attached to the Chicago Sky during a back-and-forth home opener. Upon learning about her spot on the roster, Uzun was left to ponder a playful question from the Wings’ president about her plans on the night of May 15, 2024. Through contributions that included six points, three assists, one block, and two triples, Uzun and the Wings ultimately provided the best possible answer: winning a basketball game.
