Bridget Carleton
Bridget Carleton (born May 22, 1997) is a Canadian professional basketball player who currently plays for the Portland Fire of the WNBA and USK Praha in the Czech league. After a stellar college career at Iowa State—where she finished second in school history with 2,142 career points—she was drafted 21st overall in 2019 by the Connecticut Sun, though she was released after just four games. She then joined the Minnesota Lynx, where she became a key player, notably scoring 25 points in her first WNBA start in 2020 and making history in 2023 as the first Canadian to play a WNBA game in Canada. Her 2024 season was a breakout, as she ranked fifth in the league in three-point percentage, helped the Lynx win the Commissioner's Cup, and earned the Sylvia Fowles Altruism Award. In April 2026, she was selected first overall in the WNBA expansion draft by the Portland Fire. Internationally, she represents Canada and has also shone overseas, including a 41-point EuroLeague performance in January 2024.
