Grace Berger Returns for 2026 AU Season
Grace Berger is set to bring proven pro experience and an accomplished college resume back to Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball this winter in Nashville.
The 5-11 guard was selected No. 7 overall in the 2023 WNBA Draft by the Indiana Fever and has spent the last two seasons in the league, splitting time between Indiana and Dallas. Berger appeared in 36 games as a rookie with the Fever in 2023, averaging 4.2 points per game, before returning to Indiana for 11 games in 2024. During the 2025 season, she suited up in 19 games for the Dallas Wings, averaging 3.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game.
Berger also brings prior Athletes Unlimited experience into her return to the league. She competed during the 2024 AU Pro Basketball season, appearing in all 12 games and averaging 8.6 points per contest. She posted a season-high 16 points in Week One while playing for Team Hull and matched that total again in the final week of competition with Team Gray.
Across two WNBA seasons, Berger has carved out a role as a reliable guard. She enters AU with career professional averages of 3.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game, adding another experienced ball-handler to the league.
Before going pro, Berger built one of the most decorated careers in Indiana women’s basketball history. She was a four-time All-Big Ten First Team selection and the all-time winningest player in program history, posting 118 victories over five seasons in Bloomington. Berger finished her career ranked seventh in school history in scoring with 1,841 points and second in assists with 573, while also pulling down 752 rebounds in 148 career games.
In her final collegiate season (2022-23), she averaged 12.9 points, 5.8 assists, and 4.8 rebounds per game while shooting 48.4% from the floor. The year before, she led Indiana with 16.2 points and 4.7 assists per game and earned Big Ten Player of the Week honors after a 29-point performance against Michigan State.
Berger was also a standout on the international stage. She was named to the 12-player Team USA roster for the 2021 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup, helping the United States go 6-0 and win gold while averaging 5.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.
Now, Berger returns her playmaking, experience, and winning background to the AU Pro Basketball roster.
AU Pro Basketball returns to Nashville, Tennessee, with elite talent and electrifying energy, for its fifth championship season on February 4, 2026, at Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium. Tickets for the upcoming season are available now.
