JoJo Lacey Set to Make Pro Debut in AU Pro Basketball Season 5
JoJo Lacey is the newest rising star to join Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball for 2026, where she will add to the young talent already featured on this season’s stacked roster. She’s set to arrive in Nashville following a strong graduate season at Rutgers in 2025 and a productive four-year run at Boston College.
Lacey started all 33 games for Rutgers during the 2024-25 season and led the team with 31.5 minutes per game.
She finished second on the roster with 10.1 points and added 5.3 rebounds per outing. She reached double figures 19 times, including two 20-point performances. Her best game came at Michigan, where she scored a career-high 27 points with six 3-pointers and nine made free throws. She also paced the Scarlet Knights with 49 threes and shot 32.7 percent from deep while contributing 57 assists, 56 steals, and two double-doubles.
Lacey played four seasons at Boston College before transferring for her graduate year. She averaged 8.7 points and 4.4 rebounds in 2023-24 while appearing in 26 games. That season, she reached double figures nine times and scored a season-best 23 points in a win over North Carolina. She added 15 points and nine rebounds at Kentucky and delivered her strongest stretch of the season over eight games, where she averaged 13.4 points while shooting above 40 percent from three.
She had her first full breakout as a junior in 2022-23, averaging 10.0 points and starting all 33 games. She made a team-high 51 three-pointers that season and finished second in assists while recording two 20-point performances. Her earlier seasons included 21 appearances as a sophomore and seven games as a freshman before an injury ended her first year.
Lacey built her foundation at Westtown High School in Pennsylvania. She averaged 12.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 2.2 steals as a senior and helped lead the program to its first Friends League championship in 23 years. She earned All-State first-team honors in Class 2A and competed nationally with the Philadelphia Belles before entering college as a top 40 recruit and one of the highest-ranked players at her position.
Now, she’s set to step onto the professional stage for the first time, where she’ll be tested alongside the mix of rising stars and seasoned veterans set to take the floor in Nashville.
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.
