At just 22 years old, Carla Leite is set to embark on her fourth international basketball journey. Having previously played in France, Spain, and now preparing for her summer stint with the new Portland franchise in the WNBA, the French international will join Mersin in Turkey for the upcoming season. This exciting news was first reported by the well-informed insider, Rookie.
Leite will follow in the footsteps of Marine Johannès, who previously played for the Turkish club during the 2024/25 season. Leite has demonstrated her talent, averaging 10.4 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in the Euroleague this season, solidifying her position as one of the league’s top point guards, despite recent remarks from her former coach in Zaragoza.
