Destiny Howell, a prominent player for the Wisconsin Badgers women's basketball team during the 2025-26 season, was not selected in the recent WNBA Draft. Howell, who previously played at Howard University, led the Badgers with 14.0 points per game and achieved a career-best 42.9% shooting from the field and 38.9% from three-point range. While her former teammate Serah Williams was drafted No. 33 overall, Howell now faces uncertainty as she hopes to receive an invitation to WNBA training camps starting on April 19, 2026. With the introduction of new teams like the Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire, Howell has increased chances to continue her basketball career at the professional level.
