Laura Juškaitė heads to EuroLeague champions Fenerbahçe Istanbul

Lithuanian basketball player Laura Juškaitė is set to join the Turkish club Fenerbahçe Istanbul, a team competing in the EuroLeague. The 28-year-old forward brings a strong scoring and rebounding presence, having averaged 13.5 points and 6 rebounds per game in the EuroCup last season while playing for Mersin CBK.

In the Turkish league, Juškaitė posted similar numbers with 13.4 points and 5.9 rebounds. She is currently competing in the WNBA for the Toronto "Tempo," where she averages 10.1 points and 3.9 rebounds. In July, Juškaitė set a WNBA career high, scoring 25 points in a game. During that performance, she played nearly 36 minutes, shooting efficiently from the field and making all her free throws. She also contributed with 3 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal, and a block.

Juškaitė's move to Fenerbahçe marks a significant step in her career, bringing her back to European competition with one of the continent's top clubs. Her recent WNBA performance, including her career-high scoring game, demonstrates her current form and readiness for this new challenge.
