Making a quick visit to New York during the NBA's play-in tournament week, Cason Wallace flew across the country to attend the 2026 WNBA draft. As the Oklahoma City Thunder await their Round 1 opponent for the 2026 NBA playoffs, it's the least he could do for his girlfriend, Kiki Rice.
Still enjoying the highs of a national championship, UCLA's Rice has seen her life completely change over the last couple of weeks. The latest chapter includes her joining the expansion team, Toronto Tempo, as their first-ever draft pick.
The Tempo added Rice with the No. 6 pick of the 2026 WNBA draft. She was part of five UCLA players who went in the 15-player first round. The others were Lauren Betts and Angela Dugalic to the Washington Mystics; Gabriela Jaquez to the Chicago Sky; Gianna Kneepkens to the Connecticut Sun.
In total, UCLA saw six players get drafted among the three-round, 45-player WNBA draft. Shouldn't be a shocker considering the Bruins went a historic 37-1 on their way to a national championship with a blowout win over South Carolina.
Rice and Wallace can now relate to having a championship ring. Wallace won his last year when the Thunder brought home the Larry O'Brien trophy after beating the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals. He talked about attending the WNBA draft to support her and her family for the big moment.
