Mamignan "Migna" Touré (born 19 December 1994) is a French professional basketball player who plays for Uni Girona of the Liga Femenina.

Professional career

After two years in Arras's Ligue 2, Touré signed with Léon Trégor B29 in summer 2014.[1] After a successful 2014-2015 season (14.1 points and 4.3 rebounds), cut short by a meniscus injury, she returned to the elite ranks by signing with ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne in May 2015.[2]

Under the direction of Marina Maljković, Touré averaged 4.7 points and 1.8 rebounds, with a 2.5 efficiency rating. She signed with Cavigal Nice for the 2016-2017 season, which successfully retained its place in the Ligue 2.[3]

Touré joined Basket Landes for the 2018-2019 LFB season.[4] After two seasons in the Landes region (9.4 points at 38% from 2-point range, 20% from 3-point range, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists for an average rating of 5.4 in 27 minutes of play), she signed in April 2020 with the Belgian club Castors Braine,[5] but she left Belgium in November when Braine withdrew from the EuroLeague to play only the EuroCup.[6] She then signed with Lattes Montpellier.[7]

On 21 April 2025, Touré was signed to training camp contract with the Golden State Valkyries of the Women's National Basketball Association.[8] On 14 May, she was waived by the Valkyries.[9]

National team career

In the summer 2013, Touré won the silver medal at the World Championship with the French national U19 team.[10]

With the French U20 national team, Touré won gold against Spain in July 2014.[11] In the group match against Turkey, she made five of five three-point attempts (18 points) in the second half of a game in which Les Bleues trailed by as many as 24 points before winning 52-50.[12]

In June 2019, Touré was selected for the French 3x3 team, which finished third at the World Cup.[13] In May 2021, Touré was a member of the French 3x3 team that qualified for the Tokyo Olympics[14] and finished fourth. She was pre-selected for the EuroBasket Women 2023 qualifying matches in November 2021.[15]
