Georgia Inglis

Georgia Inglis (3×3 basketball) led the 2-point shooting percentage (20.0) at the inaugural Commonwealth Games women’s 3×3 wheelchair basketball tournament where she was part of Australia’s team that won the silver medal. After suffering an injury that left her a paraplegic aged 10, Georgia was introduced to basketball by friends and made her Women’s National Wheelchair Basketball League (WNWBL) debut in 2010. A valued member of the Perth Western Stars, she scored a crucial one-handed buzzer beater in the 2013 WNWBL Grand Final which led the Stars into overtime and to an eventual championship win. Making her international debut at the Canada 2011 under-25 Women’s Wheelchair Basketball World Championships, winning silver, Inglis made her first Australian Gliders team in 2013. Alongside future 3×3 basketball Commonwealth Games teammates Amber Merritt and Ella Sabljak, she returned home from the Osaka Cup with gold. In 2018, Inglis accepted a full athletic scholarship with NCAA Division I powerhouse, the University of Alabama. Becoming a Collegiate National Championship in her junior year, Inglis’ achievements added further weight to her family’s sporting accolades, with sister Maddison a top-150 ranked tennis player and brother James an accomplished motorsport driver. Off the court, Inglis undertaking a PhD in occupational therapy at Curtin University in Perth.
