Former Alabama women's basketball guard Zaay Green signed a professional contract with Kibirkštis Vilnius in Lithuania, Europe, on Wednesday and will compete with the team during the upcoming 2025-26 season.
"I chose to join this team because I want to gain my first experience competing abroad and I think Kibirkštis is a great place for that," Green said in a press release. I hope to compete and win at the highest level."
The Washington Mystics selected Green with the 32nd pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. However, she was later waived by the organization.
After transferring from Tennessee, Green only played one season at Alabama, but she was a major contributor. Green scored 15.7 points per game, accompanied by averages of 4.5 assists (the team lead) and an even five rebounds with a 46.7 shooting percentage from the field.
Green now aims for a fresh start in Lithuania.
