Olympians cleared for WNBL27 debuts

The lineups of the Perth Lynx and Sydney Flames will be bolstered in Round 2 of the WNBL27 Season, after announcing that two respective stars would return this weekend.

Olympians Anneli Maley and Ally Wilson will suit up for Perth and Sydney, respectively, this round, after their clubs announced their returns.

Maley missed the Lynx’s Opening Week victory against Townsville in Perth due to WNBA commitments with New York, while Wilson was sidelined with a knee injury during Sydney’s victories over Southside Melbourne and Adelaide.

Both stars were members of the 2025-26 All-WNBL First Team after exceptional seasons with the Lynx.

Looking ahead, Maley’s Lynx travel to Adelaide to play the Lightning, while Sydney host Canberra on Friday before travelling to Townsville to face the Fire on Sunday.
