Professional career

Indiana Fever

Gondrezick was the 4th pick in the 2021 WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever.^[2]^[3] In January 2022, Gondrezick was waived by the Fever.^[4]

Chicago Sky

After joining the Chicago Sky for the team's 2022 training camp, Gondrezick was waived on May 4 and did not make the final roster for opening night.^[5]

On February 9, 2024, Gondrezick returned to the Chicago Sky for the team's 2024 training camp.^[6] On May 14, it was announced that Gondrezick had made Chicago's Opening Day roster.^[7] Gondrezick was released for a second time from Chicago on June 28.^[8]^[9]

Personal life

Gondrezick is the daughter of the late former NBA player Grant Gondrezick and Lisa Harvey. Her father Grant played college basketball at Pepperdine, her mother Lisa won a national title at Louisiana Tech, and her sister Kalabrya played for Michigan State Spartans women's basketball. Her late uncle, Glen Gondrezick, was a swingman in the NBA.

On September 11, 2023, Gondrezick fell victim to a domestic violence case by her boyfriend at the time, NBA player Kevin Porter Jr.^[10]^[11] The result of the domestic violence case led to Porter Jr.'s team at the time, the Houston Rockets, trading him to the Oklahoma City Thunder on October 17; the Thunder immediately waived him afterward.^[12] One of Porter Jr.'s charges in the case against Gondrezick was later dropped after it turned out that Manhattan's district attorney, Mirah Curzer, made multiple false statements on the case when trying to report in favor of Gondrezick, with Kysre saying false allegations came after Curzer "needed statements in a timely manner."^[13] The case between Gondrezick and Porter Jr. concluded on January 23, 2024 with Porter Jr. taking a plea deal with prosecutors where he accepted a guilty verdict to a misdemeanor charge of reckless assault and a second-degree harassment violation in exchange for completing a certain number of conditions in order to help him clear his criminal record after a year passes by.^[14]

In 2024, she accompanied Boston Celtics player Jaylen Brown during the Celtics' NBA Championship parade and to the ESPY Awards. Brown described Gondrezick on the latter occasion as "my date."^[15]
