On 28 April 1997 Němcová was the 4th overall pick in the 1997 WNBA draft, being selected by the Cleveland Rockers. Her debut game was played on 21 June 1997 in a 56 - 76 loss to the Houston Comets where she recorded 5 points, 2 assists and 1 block.[2] Němcová would go on to play 111 games in her WNBA career (from 1997 to 2001), all 111 of them being with the Cleveland Rockers.
She was named a member of the All-WNBA first team and second team in 1997 and 1998 respectively.[3] During the 2000 WNBA season, she set a league record by making 66 consecutive free throws. She was the ninth WNBA player to score 1,000 career points.[4]
Her final WNBA game ever was played on 21 July 2001 in a 56 - 41 victory over the Charlotte Sting. In her final game, Němcová played for 12 minutes and missed all four of her field goal attempts, but was still able to record 1 point, 1 assist and 2 rebounds.[5]
