WNBA Stays Silent on 34-Year-Old Julie Tetart as Angel Reese Turns 148 Points Into Second Chances

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 21

Summary

  • Monaco this week released new video of 34-year-old Julie Tetart training for the 2026-27 French LF2 season, while no WNBA team has publicly pursued the transgender player.
  • Tetart told OutKick earlier this month, "If they contact me, I won't say no," underscoring that the barrier appears to be league and team inaction rather than player reluctance.
  • Angel Reese's interior dominance sharpens that contrast: ESPN said she leads the league with 148 second-chance points, accounting for 30% of her 499 total points this season.
  • The latest debate widened after Caitlyn Jenner, reacting to Royce White's criticism, argued biological males should be excluded from women's sports to protect fairness and Title IX.
  • The episode leaves the WNBA caught between its broader stance on transgender inclusion and a fresh flashpoint over competitive balance, roster decisions and the boundaries of women's basketball.
