Madina Okot Shines in Dream Debut with Double - Double in WNBA Preseason

Madina Okot made an immediate impact in her first appearance for the Atlanta Dream, delivering a standout double-double performance in a preseason victory that confirmed her rising status on the global stage.

The Kenyan center recorded 14 points and 11 rebounds, showcasing her dominance in the paint and strong rebounding instincts. Her performance played a key role in Atlanta’s win and highlighted why she has been regarded as one of the most promising international prospects entering the league.

Beyond the numbers, Okot’s presence was felt on both ends of the floor, bringing energy, physicality, and composure in her first professional outing. Having already built a reputation as a “walking double-double” during her college career, she appears well on track to translate that consistency to the WNBA level.

Drafted 13th overall in 2026, Okot continues a remarkable journey from Kenya to the world’s top women’s basketball league. Her debut performance not only strengthens her case for a regular role in Atlanta’s rotation but also signals the growing impact of African talent in the WNBA.
