Kahleah Copper grew up in North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, playing basketball against the boys on 32nd Street. Copper said, “That’s where I get my toughness from, my Philly swag.” Copper finished off her prep career in Philadelphia as a McDonald’s All-American.
Copper attended Rutgers University, where she played for legendary head coach C. Vivian Stringer. Copper led the Scarlet Knights in scoring in her final three seasons and was seventh overall in the 2016 WNBA Draft by the Washington Mystics.
After one season with Washington, Copper was traded to the Chicago Sky. Four years later, Copper was the 2021 WNBA Finals MVP and led the Sky to their first title in franchise history.
In 2022, Copper made the national team and played at the 2022 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup but missed the final two games due to a hip injury. Two years later, Copper would make her Olympic debut at the Olympic Games Paris 2024, in which the U.S. won its eighth consecutive gold medal in women’s basketball, as she was one of only three players for Team USA who scored double digits in the gold medal game.
Off the court, Copper is an advocate for breast cancer awareness after three generations of her family were affected, including her mother, a breast cancer survivor. Copper is also a proud dog mom to a Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix.
