Li Meng (Chinese: 李梦, born 2 January 1995) is a Chinese professional basketball player for the Washington Mystics of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) and for Sichuan Yuanda of the Women's Chinese Basketball Association (WCBA.) She has also represented the Chinese national team, where she participated at the 2014,[1][2] 2018 FIBA World Championship, and 2022 FIBA World Championship.[3]
Meng grew up in Shenyang, Liaoning.[4] She was recognized for her athletic ability from a young age, with her parents enrolling her in swim lessons at age four. However, after a year of swimming, Meng began suffering from earache and stopped swimming following her doctor's advice. Instead, she began playing basketball at age five.[5] Meng had two dreams as a child: to play for the Chinese women's national basketball team, and to play in the WNBA.[6]
On March 13, 2023, Meng signed a training camp contract with the Washington Mystics of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA).[7] On May 1, 2023, Meng confirmed via social media that she had earned a spot on the Mystics' regular season roster,[8] making her the third Chinese national to play in the WNBA, after Han Xu and Yang Liwei.[9]
