Professional career

WNBA She was drafted in the second round (17th overall) by the Dallas Wings in the 2019 WNBA draft, but was released before the start of the season. On June 10, 2019, Gustafson was signed again by the team.

On February 2, 2024, Gustafson was announced to be joining the Las Vegas Aces for the 2024 WNBA season. After an injury kept her out for the first half of the WNBA season, Gustafson played a role off the bench in the Aces second half surge that ended with the 2025 WNBA Finals championship. In Game 3 of the finals, with the game tied at 88-88 and 20 seconds left, she came up with a key defensive stop with a partial block and rebound that allowed A’Ja Wilson to hit a game-winner with less than a second left. The Aces would go on to sweep the series.

EuroLeague Gustafson signed for the London Lions in August 2023 ahead of the Euro season. Helping them secure victory in the Betty Codona WBBL final against the Essex Rebels, she was awarded finals MVP.
