Minnesota Lynx's Rennia Davis has departed the Sydney Uni Flames despite only making her debut for the club on January 23 against thePerth Lynx.
The Flames granted Davis a release from her contract after she was bought out by a team in the Israeli WBL.
Davis first joined the Flames as a replacement player for fellow American import Stephanie Watts after she went down with a long term injury. The Flames had also just parted ways withDallas Wings's Chelsea Dungee.
Davis was drafted by the Minnesota Lynx in the WNBA with pick nine in the 2021 Draft, although a stress fracture in the foot that she sustained in the pre-season kept Davis out for the entire WNBA season.
