Kysre Gondrezick may have been cut by the Chicago Sky, but don’t call it a fall from grace—it’s more like a strut into stardom. The 27-year-old guard has turned what could have been a career-defining setback into an all-out lifestyle flex, proving that sometimes, the universe has better plans than the WNBA draft board.
After a season light on playing time and heavy on existential reflection, Gondrezick has launched into a whirlwind of opportunities that might make even A’ja Wilson a little jealous. Sure, she’s still grinding on the court—because, as she puts it, “basketball is my true love.” But let’s be honest: it’s her off-court moves that are making the real headlines.
Fashion Forward (and Everyone Else Back)
Gondrezick didn’t just dip her toes into fashion; she cannonballed into the deep end. With brands like Victoria’s Secret taking notice of her tunnel fits (yes, those pregame outfits are that good), she’s become a certified style icon. The ex-guard was a head-turner at New York Fashion Week, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and even Tommy Hilfiger’s swanky September soiree.
Oh, and did we mention her NBA-star boyfriend, Jaylen Brown, was right there with her, serving as arm candy at these events? If there were a championship ring for the most fashionable power couple, they’d be hanging banners in Boston.
Reflecting on her skyrocketing fashion career, Gondrezick told The New York Post, “It’s funny, someone said, ‘You’ve trended more since you’ve been cut.’” Translation: Sometimes getting benched is the best PR move.
Lights, Camera… Gondrezick?
But wait, there’s more. Fashion isn’t her only pivot—Hollywood is calling. Gondrezick has been honing her acting chops with classes and is gearing up for film projects scheduled to drop in 2025. Whether it’s rom-coms, biopics, or action flicks, one thing’s for sure: she’s not here for a supporting role.
In her words, this isn’t the end of her basketball career, just a “transition.” Think of it as the plot twist you didn’t know the WNBA drama needed.
A Return to the Hardwood? Never Say Never
While she’s busy balancing high heels and Hollywood scripts, Gondrezick hasn’t abandoned her first love. Training rigorously, she’s leaving the door open for a WNBA comeback. “I’m staying ready so I don’t have to get ready,” she said, channeling her inner motivational speaker.
Her name has also been floated for the newly minted 3×3 “Unrivaled” league spearheaded by WNBA titans Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier. While she wasn’t picked in the draft, two wildcard spots are still in play. Translation: Never count her out.
Teasing What’s Next
And because being a basketball player, fashionista, and budding actress isn’t enough, Gondrezick dropped a tantalizing hint about a “huge project” on the horizon. Could it be a fashion line? A movie? A reality show chronicling her revenge glow-up? We’ll have to stay tuned.
One thing’s clear: Gondrezick’s life post-WNBA isn’t a sob story—it’s a masterclass in reinvention. From the court to the catwalk to (possibly) the big screen, she’s proving that being cut isn’t the end of the game; it’s just halftime.
