After nearly a three week break for the holiday season, the EuroLeague Women resumed action the week of 1/6.
With one of the premier offseason leagues back in action, let&#8217;s take a look at some of the top performances from WNBA players.
<h2>Alyssa Thomas</h2>
Team: ZVVZ USK Praha (Czech Republic)
League: EuroLeague Women
Stats (1/8): 17 PTS | 11 REB | 8 AST
Arguably the most complete player in EuroLeague Women this season, Alyssa Thomas continued her dominance in an 82-64 victory over Bourges Basket. Thomas flirted with a triple-double and finished with 17 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists in the win.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

It was yet another double-double for Thomas, who is averaging 19.6 points (2nd in league) and a league-high 12.2 rebounds per game. After filling up the stat sheet and averaging 18.4 points, 9.2 rebounds and 7.6 assists during the WNBA Finals 2019, Thomas&#8217; increased production has continued overseas.
<h2>Courtney Vandersloot</h2>
Team: UMMC Ekaterinburg (Russia)
League: EuroLeague Women
Stats (1/8): 10 PTS | 8 REB | 7 AST
Running point for the back-to-back defending champions of the EuroLeague, Courtney Vandersloot has been thriving. In their most recent 71-50 win over Nadezhda, Vandersloot stuffed the stat sheet for 10 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. She currently leads the league in assists per game (7.7) and has been key to the team&#8217;s 8-1 start.

A rising third year player in the WNBA, Stephanie Mavunga has thrived in her role with BLMA in the EuroLeague Women. Averaging a double-double 19.2 points and 10.9 rebounds per game, Mavunga has established herself as a premier player in the league. In BLMA&#8217;s most recent 85-79 victory over Arka Gdynia, Mavunga posted a season-high 30 points while tacking on six rebounds, three steals and three blocks.

Having appeared in 49 games and averaging 2.3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game off the bench over the past two seasons in the WNBA, it will be interesting to see if Mavunga&#8217;s breakout performance overseas is an indication of increased production this upcoming WNBA season.
