Tue Oct 28 12:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Former WNBA Player Kysre Gondrezick Named Playboy’s Miss June
Former WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick is making headlines again, this time for a very different reason. The 2021 fourth-overall pick has been unveiled as Playboy’s Miss June 2025, becoming the first active professional basketball player to earn the coveted title.
Playboy announced the selection on Monday, showcasing a photo of Gondrezick topless and floating on a pool toy. The publication highlighted Gondrezick’s ventures both on and off the court.
Gondrezick, who was recently linked to NBA star Jaylen Brown, views her transition into modeling as an “evolution” rather than a departure. “I’m not stepping outside who I am. I’m building a multidimensional brand,” she stated. She emphasized the dedication and hard work required to reach and maintain a position in the WNBA.
This news comes just days after Gondrezick announced her participation in the AU Pro Basketball league, signaling that she isn’t entirely leaving basketball behind. However, it’s clear that she’s actively pursuing other avenues and building a brand that extends beyond the sport. Other models being recognized this year include Noemie Neuens, Mahina Florence, Emma Vanderhoof, Gayeanne Hazlewood and Jordyn Johnson.
