Julie Allemand’s rise through the ranks of international basketball continues to draw attention, as the Belgian star now brings her playmaking talent to the Los Angeles Sparks in the WNBA. Born on July 7, 1996, Allemand has built a reputation as one of Europe’s most precise and intelligent point guards, a skillset she honed long before arriving in Los Angeles.
Before joining the Sparks, Allemand became a standout in the Turkish Women’s Basketball Super League with Fenerbahçe, after previously showcasing her versatility and leadership with Lyon ASVEL Féminin. Throughout her professional career, she has remained a crucial member of the Belgian national team, helping elevate Belgium’s presence on the international stage.
Her journey toward global recognition began in 2016, when the Indiana Fever selected her in the third round of the WNBA Draft. Instead of heading to the United States immediately, Allemand chose to remain in Europe, spending three pivotal years with BC Castors Braine in Belgium from 2016 to 2019. Those seasons allowed her to refine her court vision, sharpen her playmaking, and establish herself as one of Europe’s most promising young guards.
In 2020, she finally made her WNBA debut with the Fever, delivering an impressive rookie season that confirmed her status as a rising international talent. Since then, her career has continued to climb, ultimately leading her to the Los Angeles Sparks—where she now brings veteran poise, elite passing, and international experience to a roster looking to rebuild and rise again.
As Allemand steps into this new chapter with the Sparks, fans and analysts alike are watching closely to see how her European brilliance shapes Los Angeles’ future.
