For a player of Gabby's caliber to choose us in just our second year ... means everything. She is world-class. One of the best defenders in the world, an WNBA All-Star, and someone who makes everyone around her better.

Kelsey Plum, a four-time All-Star, averaged 19.5 points and 5.7 assists last season with the Sparks, her first campaign with the organization after previously spending her entire career with the San Antonio Stars/Las Vegas Aces franchise.

Dearica Hamby has recorded career highs in points per game (18.4) and field goal percentage (57.2%) while averaging 7.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.6 steals last season.

Brittney Griner, a two-time WNBA scoring champion, is finalizing a seven-figure deal to join the Connecticut Sun, as the franchise prepares to relocate to Houston in 2027.

Mabrey, a 5-foot-11 guard, spent the entire 2025 season with the Connecticut Sun and averaged 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. She scored 20 or more points in nine games.

"With women's sports finally having its moment, we really wanted to be a part of that cultural conversation," said Ipsy chief marketing officer Stacey Politi. "The WNBA really is leading the way in women's sports in this moment."

WNBA franchises have moved before; the one that played in Houston won the league's first four championships, fielded some of the early WNBA's biggest stars, and was one of the sport's most iconic organizations before it disbanded.
