D’Tigress forward Amy Okonkwo has linked up with her Besiktas teammates ahead of the start of the 2025/26 Turkish Women’s Basketball Super League season.
Okonkwo enjoyed a remarkable summer, first spearheading Nigeria’s D’Tigress to a historic fifth consecutive FIBA Women’s Afrobasket title in 2025. She was once again named Most Valuable Player (MVP), repeating the feat she first achieved in 2023.

She then fulfilled a lifelong dream by making her WNBA debut, signing a seven-day hardship contract with the Dallas Wings. After impressing in her initial stint, she earned a second hardship contract before ultimately securing a permanent deal for the rest of the season.
Now back in Turkey, Okonkwo will be pivotal to Besiktas’ ambitions of breaking Fenerbahce’s long-standing dominance in the league.
