WASHINGTON, D.C. – Beginning her professional journey, North Carolina women's basketball's Nyla Harris has inked a training camp contract with the WNBA's Washington Mystics and looks to compete for a spot on this season's roster.
Making a splash in her lone season in Chapel Hill, Harris lit it up for the Tar Heels by leading the team with 11.4 points and 6.9 rebounds per game. Posting 12.6 points per game while shooting 57.6% from the floor in Atlantic Coast Conference action, Harris earned All-ACC First Team honors.
The Orlando, Fla., native tallied six double-doubles in her senior campaign, with 24 total games in double-figure scoring, and set new career highs in steals and assists. Harris' overall field goal percentage of 57.6% ranks No. 5 in a single season at Carolina.
With teammate Indya Nivar drafted to the Atlanta Dream, the pair looks to become the 18th and 19th Tar Heels in a WNBA game in the league's 30th year.
Training camps for the 2026 WNBA season open on April 19, with the regular season set to open on May 8.
