All-WNBA guard Allisha Gray is finalizing a three-year max-plus deal with the Atlanta Dream, a source tells Andscape's Sean Hurd.
Gray put together a career year in Atlanta, averaging 18.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4 assists en route to earning All-WNBA First Team honors for the first time. She was also a top-four MVP candidate and led the Dream to a franchise-best 30-win season.
Gray, 31, has steadily improved over the course of her nine-year career. Part of her emergence last season could be attributed to the way new Atlanta coach Karl Smesko maximized her scoring. Gray attempted more 3-pointers than ever before -- 6.1 per game -- and her shooting percentage from the field (45.1%) and from 3 (38.4%) ranked in the top-three percentages of her career.
Gray, the 2017 WNBA Rookie of the Year, is also a three-time All-Star, an Olympic gold medalist in 5-on-5 basketball (2020), a FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup gold medalist (2025) and the USA Basketball 3x3 Athlete of the Year (2020).
This is the second big deal for the Dream on Friday, with a source saying Brionna Jones is returning to the team.
