P.S. As far as I know, Maya will be hooking up again with the Shanxi Flame this winter. If the past is any guide, she won't start her season over there until well into November, possibly even after Thanksgiving. Then she will come back and rest several weeks before the WNBA training camp starts. Smart way to save additional wear and tear on her body.
I see that Jewell Loyd is playing for Shanxi this season (

positive that Maya is still with that squad. I would still bet on it, though. She has been a sensation over there and I think she still has another year on her contract with them.
Apparently, some players will make more than one stop during the winter season. I see a write-up on the Chinese basketball site that Candace Parker played in 2 winter different leagues last year (

Too bad the WNBA doesn't keep their own Players Overseas updated! It would be a great resource.
As MilfordHusky pointed out, Stef is over in China but I can't find which team she's on. Here's a great pic of her and Stewie meeting up on the court, courtesy of Stef, on her Twitter acct!
