Ajša Sivka, a 6-foot-4 guard from Slovenia, hassigned with Kentucky women's basketball.
Sivka was selected 10th overall in the 2025 WNBA Draft by the Chicago Sky, but remained in Europe to play for Slovenia's national team.
In three games at the EuroBasket Women’s Championship last year, she averaged 7.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game. Sivka shot 50% from the floor during those contests.

“I am delighted to welcome Ajša to our program,” head coach Kenny Brooks said in a news release. “Her combination of size and skill will fit into our system seamlessly. Ajša is a tremendous shooter, scorer, and playmaker from the wing position and she will add experience to our team. BBN let’s welcome Ajša to our family!”
According to The Athletic, the Sky still own the rights to Sivka, so that when she looks to pursue a professional career, she would remain with the team that drafted her.
