Joyce Mulumba brings elite rebounding punch to Western Carolina
Mulumba’s calling card is her rebounding: in the 2025-26 season, she’s averaging 3.1 rebounds in just 11.3 minutes per game for Western Carolina, and she arrived after a junior-college year at Sacramento City College where she averaged 18.4 rebounds and 8.7 points while shooting 46.3%. Her profile is unusual and valuable—she only started playing basketball in high school, yet already showed major impact potential with a 32-rebound game and All-American honorable mention recognition. She looks like a high-motor, frontcourt fit for teams needing toughness, activity, and glass-eating upside.[1][6]
