Kysre Rae Gondrezick (born July 27, 1997) is an American professional basketball player who is currently with the Chicago Sky of the WNBA.

She previously played for the WNBA's Indiana Fever.

Gondrezick attended Benton Harbor High School in Michigan.

2016

She was named 2016 Michigan Miss Basketball and Michigan Gatorade POY playing for Benton Harbor High School with her mom serving as an assistant coach.

Gondrezick averaged 40.5 points per game as senior and graduated as No. 2 scorer in Michigan girls history (2,827).

She played college basketball at the University of Michigan and West Virginia University.

Gondrezick was the 4th pick in the 2021 WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever.

In January 2022, Gondrezick was waived by the Indiana Fever.

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.

On February 9, 2024, Gondrezick returned to the Chicago Sky for the team's 2024 training camp.

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.

Kalabrya was also married to former NFL quarterback Dwayne Haskins until his sudden and tragic death in 2022.

On September 11, 2023, Gondrezick fell victim to a domestic violence case by his boyfriend at the time, NBA player Kevin Porter Jr. 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 and then having the Thunder immediately waive him afterward.

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."

The case between Gondrezick and Porter Jr. concluded on January 23, 2024 with Porter Jr. taking a plea deal with the NYPD 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.

In April 2021, it was announced that Gondrezick and Adidas entered into a multiyear endorsement agreement.
