Transgender French basketball player Julie Tétart has said she would be open to joining the Women's National Basketball Association if a team approached her, while acknowledging concerns about the political climate in the United States. The 34-year-old centre, who currently plays for a club in Monaco, discussed the possibility of a move across the Atlantic during a direct exchange on Monday.
Speaking about her professional future, Tétart said that playing in the North American league remains a long-held ambition. While she had previously dismissed a move to the US because of concerns over the incoming American presidential administration, the 6ft 3in player confirmed she would consider a formal offer, saying that if an inclusive WNBA franchise contacted her, she would not turn it down.
