The WNBA Free Agency Buzz: Key Players Still Looking for a Home in 2025

As WNBA free agency heats up, several significant players remain unsigned, poised to shape the 2025 season landscape.

As the 2025 WNBA season approaches, the free agency market is buzzing with potential movement as several star players are still available to be signed.

Brittney Griner and Brionna Jones are making a splash with their confirmed moves to the Atlanta Dream, while Courtney Vandersloot will return to her roots with the Chicago Sky. Kelsey Mitchell's loyalty shines as she sticks with the Indiana Fever.

Although these moves have been confirmed, nothing becomes official until Saturday when contracts can officially be signed. Significant trades have reshaped the landscape, with talents like Jewell Loyd joining the Las Vegas Aces and Kelsey Plum heading to the Los Angeles Sparks.

Additionally, there's a flurry of speculation around Breanna Stewart, who is expected to remain with the New York Liberty alongside fellow star Nneka Ogwumike of the Seattle Storm. As the season nears, fans await news from legends Diana Taurasi and Elena Delle Donne, who have yet to confirm their future plans—will they continue or retire?

The pressure mounts as we look at some of the most intriguing free agents still on the board by position:

Top Guards

  • Chennedy Carter, Chicago Sky: Despite a rocky start in her career, Carter's recent performance shows promise. Averaging 17.5 points per game, her scoring ability could be a game changer, but teams may hesitate due to past consistency issues.

  • DiJonai Carrington, Connecticut Sun: An emerging talent, Carrington has shown significant improvement, boosting her average points per game from 8.3 to 12.7 last season. Being a restricted free agent means the Sun have the option to keep her or explore trade possibilities.

Top Wings/Small Forwards

  • Satou Sabally, Dallas Wings: Linked to possible trades, Sabally’s future could sway the direction of the free agency landscape. After a stellar performance that earned her the Most Improved Player award, there’s no shortage of teams interested in her talent.

  • DeWanna Bonner, Connecticut Sun: At 37, Bonner is still a force in the league, with three All-Star appearances to back up her prowess. Rumors swirl about her future especially with key teammates departing.

Top Power Forwards/Centers

  • Emma Meesseman: A two-year hiatus from the WNBA hasn’t diminished Meesseman’s talent. Known for her versatility, she’s expected to bring invaluable experience to whichever team she chooses.

  • Tina Charles, Atlanta Dream: Charles continues to impress at 36, bringing with her a wealth of experience from her Hall of Fame-worthy career. Aiming for that elusive WNBA title, her contributions last season prove she's still relevant in the league.

With so many stars yet to sign, WNBA fans should keep a keen eye on the free agency developments. This season promises to be one of excitement and transformation!
