Dana Evans currently stars for the Chicago Sky in the WNBA as of September 2024, continuing a basketball journey that began long before the pros. Before reaching the league, she built her legacy at the University of Louisville. In high school, Evans dominated the court—averaging more than 35 points per game during her senior year and guiding West Side Leadership Academy to three Class 4A sectional championships. From 2017 to 2021, she competed for Louisville, where she cemented her place as one of the ACC’s elite. Evans became a two-time ACC Player of the Year in both 2020 and 2021, and she also earned Conference Player of the Year honors for her outstanding performance in the 2021 ACC tournament.

Her success carried into the WNBA when she was selected 13th overall by the Dallas Wings in the 2021 draft. Despite being a second-round pick, Evans quickly proved her value—earning a spot on the WNBA All-Rookie Team and capturing a championship with the Chicago Sky. In the 2024 regular season, she contributed 7.2 points, 2.4 assists, and 1.1 rebounds per game for Chicago (statistics through September 22, 2024).
