Her acquisition paired with the re-signings of Jordin Canada, Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, Naz Hillmon and Brionna Jones make the Dream a contender for the WNBA Championship.

Just hours after the announcement, demand for Dream merchandise and tickets surged.
“In the first four hours after the announcement, we sold half as many jerseys as we did the entire year in 2025,” said Morgan Shaw Parker, the team’s president and chief operating officer.
The Dream acquired the two-time WNBA All-Star in a high-profile trade that included two first-round draft picks in 2027 and 2028. However, early signs suggest the investment is already paying off.
