After being part of our wāhine team last year like Kendell, we’re stoked to have Krystal Leger-Walker back for another IBA All Stars tour.

It’s never just one role with Krystal. She brings toughness and reliability for her teammates on the court, she sits in the commentary box for our national leagues, and continues to show up as a wahine and māmā and advocate for this game we all love. She just keeps showing up 🤏🏾 Ko koe te tauira!
