Kysre Gondrezick, the former WNBA guard, has embraced a whirlwind of opportunities since being cut by the Chicago Sky in June.
Despite limited on-court action during the 2023 season, the 27-year-old athlete has been busier than ever, balancing basketball training with a burgeoning career in fashion and acting.
Far from sidelined, Gondrezick is proving that life after the WNBA can be just as dynamic as her time in the league.
Known for her standout style, Gondrezick has caught the attention of major brands, including Victoria's Secret, thanks to her sharp fashion sense and bold tunnel fits.
Her transition from the court to the fashion world has been seamless, with appearances at major events like New York Fashion Week and the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
She even attended the Tommy Hilfiger Fashion Show in September alongside her boyfriend, NBA star Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics, further cementing her presence as a style icon.
Reflecting on her eventful year, Gondrezick told The New York Post, "It's been a heck of a year. It is funny, someone said, 'You have trended more since you've been cut and since you were in the league - and you were trending so much in the league.' I'm just living in the beauty of my purpose."
But fashion isn't her only focus. Gondrezick is also exploring the world of acting, taking classes and preparing to shoot film projects slated for release in 2025.
Balancing multiple ions, she continues to look ahead to what's next while staying grounded in her love for basketball.
A Return to the Court Still in Sight
Despite her success off the court, Gondrezick remains dedicated to her basketball career. She has been training rigorously, aiming for a potential comeback in the WNBA.
"Basketball is my true love," she shared. "I don't think I'm done anytime soon. I don't want to say that [being cut] was an ending. I want to say it was more so a transition."
Gondrezick is also considering participation in the newly formed 3x3 "Unrivaled" league, spearheaded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier. While she wasn't selected in the initial draft, two wildcard spots remain open, leaving the door ajar for her entry.
"I'm staying ready so that I don't have to get ready," Gondrezick explained, adding that her team is in active discussions with coaches and general managers.
As she juggles her various pursuits, Gondrezick hinted at a major announcement, teasing, "There's a huge project set to be announced soon."
Whether through acting, fashion, or basketball, Kysre Gondrezick's journey is far from over. Her story serves as a testament to resilience and adaptability, proving that athletes can thrive in multiple arenas while staying true to their ions.
