What happened: Van Lith will join the Queens for the 2026 Tauihi winter slate. The move lands during the WNBA postseason, ahead of the North American winter window.

Why it matters: Overseas stints give WNBA guards extra reps and on-ball work through the winter. For Tokomanawa, it adds a WNBA-level backcourt option for the 2026 Tauihi campaign.

What to watch: Watch for Tokomanawa's 2026 schedule release and Van Lith's arrival date.
