Stephanie Talbot

Stephanie Talbot (born 15 June 1994) is an Australian professional basketball player for the New York Liberty of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) and for the Adelaide Lightning of the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL).

Talbot was a member of the Australian women's basketball team (Opals) at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where the Opals were eliminated after losing to the USA in the quarterfinals. At the 2024 Summer Olympics she earned a bronze medal with the Australian team.

Talbot began her career at just the age of 17, playing with the Adelaide Lightning for the 2011–12 WNBL season. In just her second season, Talbot was recognised as one of the brightest prospects in the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL), winning the 2013 Betty Watson Rookie of the Year award. In accepting her award, Talbot was asked what she had learned from playing with Olympians Suzy Batkovic, Laura Hodges and Jennifer Screen, and she replied "Shitloads".

In 2018, Talbot returned to the league after signing with the Melbourne Boomers. This was her first season back after spending two seasons overseas in Europe.

In 2019, it was announced Talbot would re-join the Adelaide Lightning, returning to both her home state and her first WNBL team.

In 2020, Talbot re-signed with the Adelaide Lightning for her second consecutive season.

In June 2023, Talbot re-signed with the Lightning for four more seasons.

In 2014, Talbot nominated for the WNBA draft, where she was selected in the third round (33rd overall) by the Phoenix Mercury. Talbot opted to play for the Canberra Capitals for the WNBL 2014-15 season. In 2017, the Phoenix Mercury re-acquired Talbot.
