At just 22 years old, Carla Leite is about to embark on her fourth international basketball journey. Following experiences in France, Spain, and her upcoming stint in the WNBA with the new Portland franchise this summer, the French international will be playing for Mersin in Turkey next season. This exciting news was first reported by the well-informed insider “Rookie.”
Leite is expected to follow in the footsteps of Marine Johannès, who played for Mersin during the 2024/25 season. Leite’s capabilities are evident, as she averaged 10.4 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in Euroleague this season, establishing herself as one of the top point guards, despite any recent comments from her former coach in Zaragoza.
