"This is expected to be one of the most pivotal offseasons in WNBA history. The league and the players are negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement; new teams in Toronto and Portland, Oregon, will join the league and hold an expansion draft; and there will be an unprecedented number of free agents, given that many players signed one-year deals after the players' association opted last October to terminate the current CBA."
"Only rookie Aaliyah Nye has a contract for next season, but it's hard to imagine the core not returning. No player in the league is more associated with a franchise than Wilson is with the Aces. This is also the only franchise Young has known, and she is the perfect No. 2 behind Wilson. Gray is 32, but Las Vegas will be hard-pressed to find a point guard more savvy and clutch on the free agent market."
The Las Vegas Aces swept the Phoenix Mercury to win their third title in four years. All 13 teams will turn focus to the offseason, which is expected to be one of the most pivotal in WNBA history. The league and the players are negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement. New teams in Toronto and Portland, Oregon, will join and hold an expansion draft. An unprecedented number of free agents will hit the market because many players signed one-year deals after the players' association opted last October to terminate the current CBA. The draft lottery will determine which team receives the No. 1 pick in the 2026 draft. The Aces carry numerous unrestricted and restricted free agents, and only rookie Aaliyah Nye has a contract for next season; the front office may reshape the roster in 2026.
