Three-time WNBA All-Star Chelsea Gray is reportedly signing with the Las Vegas Aces, according to TheNextHoops s Howard Megdal.
Gray spent the first five years of her WNBA career with the Los Angeles Sparks and won a championship in 2016. She made three consecutive All-Star teams in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
This past season, Gray averaged 14.0 points, 5.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds in just under 31 minutes of action. She was also recently named as one of 19 WNBA players traveling to a USA Basketball Women s National Team minicamp in early February in preparation for this summer s Olympics.
By joining Las Vegas, Gray bolsters last year s top regular season team and the eventual WNBA finals runner-ups.

Allisha Gray,
Tiffany Mitchell and
A’ja Wilson are part of the 19 athletes set to participate in a USA Basketball Women’s National Team minicamp, Feb. 4-7, at the University of South Carolina. Gamecock head coach
Dawn Staley, who is also the current National Team head coach, will lead the four-day minicamp.
“It’s been a year since we’ve been together for a training camp, and I’m excited to step back on the court with the USA National Team,” Staley said. “We’ve got a great mix of veteran leadership and younger players, most of whom know how I run practices, and I anticipate we’ll have four extremely competitive days of practice here in South Carolina. We’re missing a few pieces of the puzzle, we have 36 players in our pool, but it will be incredibly helpful in our preparations for the Olympics in Tokyo this summer.”
