Isabella Augustine Alarie (born April 23, 1998)[1] is an American former professional basketball player. She played her entire career for the Dallas Wings of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She is the daughter of Mark Alarie, a retired professional basketball player who played in the NBA for the 1986–1991 seasons.
Alarie played college basketball for the Princeton Tigers. She was the three-time Ivy League Player of the Year (from 2018 to 2020)[2] and was selected to All-America Honorable Mention by the Associated Press (AP).[3] Alarie started in all 106 games during her career in Princeton from the 2016–17 to 2019–20 seasons. In her junior year (2018–19 season), she averaged a career best double-double of 22.8 ppg and 10.6 rpg. Alarie is a career 34.8% 3-point shooter who also averaged 1.2 steals and 2.3 blocks per game. Following the 2019-20 season, Alarie was named an Honorable Mention All-American by the Associated Press.
Alarie was selected as the 5th overall pick by the Dallas Wings in the 2020 WNBA draft, and proceeded to play a reserve role for the Wings for two seasons.
Alarie sat out the entire 2022 season due to "personal reasons".[4] She officially announced her retirement from professional basketball on February 2, 2023, citing desires to want to explore the business side of basketball as opposed to playing.[5] Her final WNBA game was the First Round Playoff Game between Dallas and the Chicago Sky on September 23, 2021 where Dallas would be eliminated after losing to Chicago 64 - 81. Alarie played for 4 minutes and recorded 3 rebounds and 1 assist in her final game.
