Brittney Sykes (born February 7, 1994), nicknamed "Slim," is an American professional basketball player currently with the Toronto Tempo of the WNBA and the Laces of Unrivaled. Drafted 7th overall in the 2017 WNBA draft by the Atlanta Dream, she made history as the highest-drafted Syracuse University women's basketball player ever. During her college career, she earned All-American honors, scored 1,846 career points, and became the program's winningest player with 101 wins, while also earning degrees in Communications and Instructional Design. Despite suffering two ACL tears (in 2014 and 2015), she made remarkable comebacks, viewing them as stepping stones to becoming a stronger player. In her rookie WNBA season, she averaged 13.9 points per game, was named Rookie of the Month twice, and finished as runner-up for Rookie of the Year. Her impressive high school career also included being a McDonald's All-American and a member of the 2012 U.S. U18 national team.
