While most WNBA players ready themselves for the stretch run when playoff hopes are either solidified or crushed, some of the league’s top European talents have taken a leave of absence from their squads. EuroBasket Women 2017 is set to start June 16 in the Czech Republic.

A total of six current WNBA players will each be playing for a different country in the tournament, that could go as far as June 25, if her team reaches the Championship round. Here are how the six are fairing thus far.

Sancho Lyttle – Atlanta Dream/Spain 

Lyttle and the Spanish national team find themselves in Group A alongside Hungary, Ukraine, and host nation the Czech Republic.

Lyttle, a 6’4″ forward, was starting to find her stride for the Dream before departing for EuroBasket. Lyttle will be looked upon to carry a lot of the scoring load if Spain hopes to advance.

Courtney Vandersloot – Chicago Sky/Hungary

Vandersloot is a compact point guard who plays the position as a true floor general. At 28 years old Vandersloot has played in a number of big games over the course of her career and will be looked upon to play the experienced veteran role for Hungary.

Hungary’s first matchup in EuroBasket play is against host nation, the Czech Republic, so they will be tested right from the start. The team will rely on Vandersloot to help steady the ship and be as productive a scorer as she is a distributor.

Alex Bentley – Connecticut Sun/Belarus

Belarus got a gift from the basketball gods when Alex Bentley was given permission to represent the team this summer in the Czech Republic. A mainstay with the Sun for the past three seasons, Bentley was in the midst of another productive start in Connecticut before being drawn away to her EuroBasket duties.

Bentley is a shifty guard who can stuff the stat sheet if need be and she’s done so on numerous occasions for the Sun. Representing Belarus in Group B means she will face newly formed Slovak Republic her first game and immediately from the jump will be the go-to scoring threat for the squad.

Epiphanny Prince – New York Liberty/Russia

Prince had just taken over for the injured Brittany Boyd, filling in for her as a de facto point guard, before departing for EuroBasket. She is having a stellar season for the Liberty with 15.8 points and 3.8 assists per game.

Prince has dual citizenship, and the dynamic guard has played for Russian club Dynamo Kursk since 2012. Alongside reigning WNBA MVP Nneka Ogwumike, Prince helped Dynamo Kursk win the EuroLeague title this past season.

Kia Vaughn – New York Liberty/Czech Republic

Like Prince, Vaughn has citizenship in the nation she will be representing in this tournament. In the WNBA offseason, Vaughn plays for USK Praha in the Czech Republic, where she led her team to the league title this past year.

Vaughn and the host nation open against the Ukraine on June 16, and will face Hungary and Spain in the following days.

Emma Meesseman – Washington Mystics/Belgium

Coming off a career season with the Mystics, Meesseman will try to lead her team to glory as Belgium makes its first EuroBasket appearance in 10 years. The highest Belgium has finished in this tournament is sixth place, which was accomplished back in 2003.

Meesseman’s squad will play in a group with Latvia, Montenegro and Russia, opening against Montenegro on June 16. If this past WNBA season was any indication, the Mystics forward could be one of the stars of the tournament. Meesseman connected on 45 percent of her three-pointers in 2016 – best in the league among players with more than 30 attempts – and ranked eighth in Player Efficiency Rating.
