Wilson Welcomes WNBA's Kahleah Copper to Basketball Family

The 3-time WNBA All-Star is one of the newest Wilson Athletes.

We are thrilled to welcome none other than Chicago Sky Guard, Kahleah Copper to our Wilson Basketball Family. The 3-time WNBA All-Star led the Sky in scoring in 2022 and celebrated 2,000 career points against New York in July. Copper is a Philly native and a Rutgers alum and was the seventh overall draft pick in 2016.

Known as a leader on and off the court, Kah is making her mark at Wilson. As a member of the Basketball Family, she will join other masters of the game in playtesting products, providing feedback, and collaborating on the next generation of basketball gear.

Learn more about what drives Kahleah and how she’s Bonded by Ball.
