Professional career[]

WNBA[]

In 2016, Butler became only the third player out of Syracuse to be taken in the WNBA draft, when she was picked by the Los Angeles Sparks.[3] However, she was eventually cut from the roster.

Australia[]

Butler began her professional career in Israel,[4] however, she was signed by the Perth Lynx to play in the Women's National Basketball League, Australia's premier women's league and the strongest league in the southern hemisphere.[5] She was signed seven rounds in, as the Lynx's previous import, Monica Wright, has terminated her contract due to injury. There, Butler will play alongside two Olympians in Natalie Burton and Tessa Lavey.
