WNBA forward for Atlanta Dream
Nazahrah Hillmon is a forward for the Atlanta Dream of the WNBA. She was selected 15th overall in the 2022 WNBA Draft and quickly made her mark, breaking the franchise’s rookie rebounding record with 172 boards in her debut season. Before returning to the Dream for her second season, Hillmon spent two years in the WNBL, playing for the Melbourne Boomers and Southside Flyers, and earned All-WNBL First and Second Team honors in the 2023–24 and 2024–25 seasons, respectively.

Widely considered the most accomplished player in Michigan Women’s Basketball history, Hillmon finished her collegiate career as the program’s all-time leader in rebounds, double-doubles, and free throws made. Her tenure with the Wolverines included multiple First-Team All-American honors—both from the AP and WBCA—Big Ten Player of the Year, Big Ten Freshman of the Year, and four consecutive First-Team All-Big Ten selections, among other accolades that cemented her legacy.

Off the court, Naz works as an analyst for the Big Ten Network. She is also a passionate advocate for health equity and social justice and enjoys photography in her free time.
