Alexis Pana is a Filipino basketball player.
Alexis Pana was born on August 23, 1998 to a Filipino mother and a Hawaiian father in Hilo, Hawaii in the United States. She and her siblings learned basketball from her father who once competed at a high school level. [1] [2] She attended Hilo High School and Central Washington University for her high school and collegiate studies respectively. [3] [2]
Pana played for the Central Washington Wildcats in the NCAA Division I from 2016 to 2020. [2] [3]
Playing mainly as a point guard, Pana often featured at the EuroCup. [4] The start of her professional career was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Pana became the first former CWU Wildcats to sign a professional contract when she joined CSM Alexandria of Romania in 2021. [5] Pana later joined Amicale Steesel of Luxembourg and the Gisa Lions MBC of Germany. [6] [7] She last played for Romanian club CS Universitatea Cluj in 2024 and Lithuanian side Kibirkštis-MRU Vilnius from 2024 to 2025. [1] [2] [7]
She also has played for the Pilipinas Aguilas in the 2025 Invitational Tournament of the Women's Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (WMPBL). [8] [9] The Aguilas won the tournament against the UST Golden Tigresses in the finals with Pana named as the Finals MVP. [10] She left the team thereafter. [4]
Pana is unable to play for the Philippines national 5-on-5 team as a "local" under FIBA eligibility rules since she was not able to acquire a Philippine passport before reaching the age of 16. She can only play as a "naturalized" player, only one of which is allowed to play in a national team at a time. [11]
Pana however has played for the Philippines national 3x3 team where such restrictions are more lenient. She has represented the country at the FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series in 2025. [11] [12]
