Justė Jocytė Reveals Project B Plans After Winning WNBA Title With Valkyries

Justė Jocytė reported to Lithuania’s national team camp Monday, nine days after winning the WNBA title with the Golden State Valkyries.

Lithuania plays two FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2027 qualifiers this week, at home against Finland on Thursday and in Finland on Sunday. Jocytė went through the window, her plans for Project B, and next summer in an interview with LRT, the Lithuanian public broadcaster. Her answers are translated from Lithuanian.

She wants a break once the two Finland games are over. Jocytė told LRT that she needs the time off more mentally than physically, and plans to use December for that before getting ready for her next season.

Project B announced Jocytė as one of its signings in December 2025.

Project B was still describing a six-team league in September, when a spokesperson told Front Office Sports that each roster would have 11 players. Jocytė’s answer to LRT on Monday was that the plans had changed.

Jocytė said the league will hold a draft in Los Angeles in mid-December, and that she does not yet know how it will work.

“They planned six teams, but it turned out there will be four,” Jocytė said. “Basically it’ll be a tour format, mostly in Asia. One tour will be 10 days, and we’ll play each other there. I’m really curious myself how it will all go.”

“I think there will be the basketball side and the marketing side, which is why a lot of the tours are in Asian countries,” Jocytė continued. “I know one tour should be in Europe, so that’s nice.”

Jocytė told BasketNews on Sunday that she does not really want to go back to Golden State. She added in her LRT interview that America is not her dream country.

“When my health allows, I always join,” Jocytė said. “I hope it will be a good summer. The championship is in Lithuania, after all, and at the last championship we performed well after a long time. I think we’ll try to improve on that result and go for medals.”

“We know we can compete with elite teams,” Jocytė added. “We gained experience, and I hope that with Lithuania’s support we can climb higher.”

LRT will broadcast both games against Finland.
