    PRAGUE (CZECH REPUBLIC) - Playing some of the best basketball of her career, Valeriane Vukosavljevic has been breathing absolute fire on the court for ZVVZ USK Praha ever since her return from maternity leave.

    As part of a Proudly Woman series focused on EuroLeague Women players, Vukosavljevic, her teammates and her husband provided a unique insight into the balance between basketball and family life.

    Enjoying her most productive season in EuroLeague Women, being both a mother and an elite player is certainly suiting the French star hugely. "To become a mom is the best accomplishment I had in my life - definitely," said Vukosavljevic.
