With the 2025 WNBA offseason going on, some players are getting their much-deserved rest, while others are back on the court trying to level up for the 2026 season. From Sophie Cunningham gearing up for her annual tournament to Caitlin Clark spending her break on the golf course with the pros, everyone is making the most of it. Now, joining the headlines is another Indiana Fever star, Natasha Howard, and her next move could come with a massive overseas paycheck.

As per reports, Howard is expected to join Sichuan for the upcoming WCBA season, where salaries for top-tier players can reach $1 million or more per year, while others typically earn between $150K and $500K. While her move hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, the three-time WNBA champion fueled the speculation herself after posting an Instagram Story from inside a plane cabin captioned, “Off to China I go ✈️,” signaling that something is definitely in motion.

If finalized, this would mark a high-profile offseason jump to China at a time when many WNBA players are uncertain about future earnings amid ongoing CBA conversations. Howard’s next chapter may not be official just yet, but all signs are pointing East.
