Indiana Fever signed 27-year old Canadian ex-international center Kayla Alexander (193-91, college: Syracuse, agency: LBM Management). She played last summer at San Antonio Silver Stars (WNBA). Alexander managed to play in three leagues in two countries last year. In 33 WNBA games she had 6.2ppg and 3.2rpg. The last season she played at Tango Bourges Basket in French LFB where in 28 games she recorded 10.2ppg and 7.3rpg. Alexander helped them to win the cup. A very impressive season as she was named to Eurobasket.com All-French LFB Honorable Mention. She also played 16 games in Euroleague where she averaged 9.4ppg and 7.7rpg. Alexander contributed to her team making it to the quarterfinals.
In 2013 she was drafted by San Antonio Silver Stars (WNBA) in first round (8th overall).
Alexander attended Syracuse University and it will be her fifth season in pro basketball.
She was also a member of Canadian international program for some years. Alexander played for Canadian Senior National Team between 2009 and 2015 and previously for U18 National Team back in 2008.
She also represented Canada at the World Championships U19 in Thailand nine years ago. Alexander's team got to the Semifinals and her stats at that event were 9 games: 11.3ppg, Reb-1 (11.3rpg), 1.0spg, Blocks-4 (1.8bpg), FGP: 42.1%, FT: 66.7%.
