Some fans say Courtney Williams showed the WNBA how to have fun. Before facing the Goat, Dina Taurasi, she dropped her signature gameday post: mid‑air joy in the background, stone‑cold Diana Taurasi in the foreground, captioned, “Gooo timeee!! Playoffs babyyyyy.” It was a subtle dig, not at Taurasi but at Mercury, who never gave Williams the opportunity as a rookie. In 2025, she is a title contender in the Minnesota Lynx while earning loads from her WNBA career and her endorsements. Let’s dive into the details.

Courtney Williams College and Professional Career

After a stellar high school career, Courtney Williams joined the South Florida Bulls in college. As things go, she largely came off the bench as a rookie but was a solid role player. She appeared in all 33 games while starting 3, scoring 245 points, 221 of them coming off the bench, while averaging 7.4 points and 3.4 rebounds. Her Sophomore year was much better; she averaged 30.4 minutes a game compared to her 15.3 coming off the bench the season before. She finished the year with 16.3 points a game along with 7.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists. While being named All-Conference First team, and was also an Honorable Mention for the All-American team.

In her junior year, she became a regular in the starting lineup, and Williams repaid the faith in dividends. She averaged an AAC high of 20.3 points, 2.4 assists, and 7.5 rebounds. Overall, she was the ninth leading scorer in the country with 20 or more points in 20 different games. Senior year was another step up, scoring at a brisk rate of 22.4 points,8.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists. After these exceptional performances, she was selected as the eighth overall pick by the Phoenix Mercury in the 2016 WNBA draft, but ended up being traded to the Connecticut Sun after a few games. UConn boss Geno Auriemma encouraged the Sun coach, Curt Miller, to give Williams a chance as a player who could go out and get points; “There’s nobody that I know that can stop her from doing that.” 

Once again, Williams responded with her game, being the impact punch of the bench in 2016 while averaging 8.1 points and 3.6 rebounds. After that season, Williams was set; she gelled into the Connecticut Sun system and became a mainstay by 2019, where she led them to the finals. Williams traded to the Atlanta Dream as part of a three-team trade, and there wasn’t any new team inertia with Williams. 

She was at her best, even earning her first All-Star nod in 2021. After an off-court controversy, Williams parted ways with Atlanta and rejoined the Sun. However, that lasted only one season as Williams’ numbers dropped and she signed for the Sky. Williams made a major positional switch for Sky to point guard and adapted quickly. Despite her hesitation, she finished the season averaging 10.4 points,6.3 assists , and 6.0 rebounds. But even that relationship lasted only a year as she wasn’t resigned after entering free agency. Williams went to the Minnesota Lynx, and it seems she has found a home there. 

“That was my biggest thing during free agency,” Williams said. “When I talked to every team, I said I’m at a point in my career now where I don’t want to bounce around no more. If you can offer me being a part of a core group, more than if you can see me being a part of the franchise, that’s where I want to be. Minnesota came, and they matched my energy.” These have been two seasons of her best basketball since leaving Atlanta, averaging 12.4 points and 5.9 assists while earning her second all-star call-up. At 31 years old, she remains among the best guards in the league. 

Courtney Williams Brand Endorsements

Courtney Williams is the brand ambassador of Moolah Kicks. Now, you might not have heard about that brand, but Williams is representing something important. Moolah Kicks is a relatively new women’s basketball shoe company started by Natalie White, a hoops player from Manhattan. As a small-time brand, it does not have an agreement with the WNBA, which means every time Williams wears the brand on the court, she is fined. 

So far, she has been fined four times, totaling up to $1500. “Anything that is women supporting women,” Williams said in a recent telephone interview, “I want to be a part of it.” Apart from her shoe deal, she has partnered with DoorDash along with U by Kotex.
