Professional career

WNBL

During the 2015–16 WNBL season, Heal spent a period of time as a development player with the newly founded South East Queensland Stars.[2] Heal began her WNBL career at the age of 14, making her one of the youngest debutants in WNBL history.

In 2018, Heal returned to the league after signing a full-time two-year contract with the Perth Lynx for the 2018–19 season.[3] This signing and her partaking in the league on a professional contract, meant that Heal would no longer be eligible for college basketball. After a season dealing with injury, Heal opted out of her second year with the Lynx.[4]

In 2019, Heal signed with the Bendigo Spirit for the 2019–20 WNBL season.[5] In her debut season with the Spirit, Heal was awarded the Most Consistent Player for her showings, averaging 12.1 points and 4.1 rebounds.[6]

In 2020, Heal ventured North and signed with the Townsville Fire for the 2020–21 WNBL season.[7]

WNBA

In the 2021 WNBA draft, she was selected in the first round by the Chicago Sky. She played 4 games with the Sky before being traded to the Dallas Wings in June 2021 and immediately waived.

National team career

Youth Level

Heal made her international debut for the Sapphires at the 2017 FIBA Under-17 Oceania Championship in Hagåtña, Guam, where Australia would take home the gold.[8] Heal was named MVP to the Championship game. In 2017, Heal also helped lead the Sapphires to gold at the FIBA Under-16 Asian Championship in Bengaluru, India.[9] Heal would then go on to represent the Sapphires at the Under-17 World Cup in Belarus the following year, where they finished in third place, taking home the bronze medal. Heal also earned a spot on the All-Tournament Team, awarded to the five strongest players of the tournament, after averaging 16.0 points per game.[10]

Heal then made her debut for the Gems at the 2019 Under-19 World Cup in Bangkok, Thailand, where the Gems took home silver after returning to the final for the first time since 1997.[11]

Personal life

Shyla is the daughter of former Australian Boomer and NBA player, Shane Heal.[12][13]
