The WNBA will have to wait for Notre Dame guard Olivia Miles.

Although Miles is projected to be a top pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft next month, the 22-year-old reportedly will forgo the draft and enter the NCAA’s transfer portal using her final year of eligibility, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Miles missed the entire 2023-24 season due to a knee injury, but made a statement in her first game back with a triple-double (20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists) to open the season Nov. 4. She became the first player in ACC history to record consecutive triple-doubles a month later against Loyola and Virginia. Miles’ three triple-doubles led the nation this season. 

No. 3 Notre Dame was eliminated in the Sweet 16 by No. 2 TCU.
