WNBA Guard Hailey Van Lith Faces Early Exit as Queens Announce Roster Update

“This season has the potential to get my joy back for playing the game,” is what Hailey Van Lith said when talking about her offseason move to the New Zealand women’s basketball league, Tauihi Basketball Aotearoa. What was meant to be a fresh start overseas with the Tokomanawa Queens after a disappointing 11-33 season with the Connecticut Sun turned into a brief chapter in Hailey Van Lith’s professional career. Just under a month after debuting in New Zealand, Van Lith’s time outside the States is already over.
