Though India's star hoopster Geethu Anna Jose missed a spot in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) after attending tryouts with teams like Chicago Sky, Los Angeles Sparks and San Antonio Silver Stars last year, National Basketball Association (NBA) Commissioner David Stern said that there could be an Indian playing in the professional league soon.
“We already had a woman (Geetu) try out for WNBA and we would expect to have men and women showing up for each of our professional leagues. Now 85 out of our 400 players are born outside the USA.
