Her rookie season saw her averaging 3.0 points and 0.8 rebounds in limited minutes.

She sat out the 2020 and 2021 WNBA seasons due to COVID-19 pandemic concerns before returning to the Liberty in 2022, where she broke out with averages of 8.5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game, finishing fifth in Most Improved Player voting.

She returned to the New York Liberty for the 2026 WNBA season, continuing to contribute as a backup center. She also helped lead China through the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup qualifiers.
