Free Agency Buzz: Sabally, Plum, and Loyd on the Move

As the WNBA gears up for the 2025 free agency period, significant player movements are anticipated. Teams will begin negotiations with players on January 21, with official signings starting on February 1. Among the most sought-after unrestricted free agents is Satou Sabally, who will not be returning to the Dallas Wings after five seasons. Her departure opens up exciting possibilities for both her and potential suitors.

Kelsey Plum is another key player in this free agency cycle. The Las Vegas Aces guard is eligible for a max contract but did not sign a contract extension, making her a prime target for teams looking to bolster their rosters. Jewell Loyd has also made headlines by requesting a trade from the Seattle Storm, following investigations into bullying within the team. This request adds another layer of intrigue to the upcoming negotiations.

Brionna Jones, after eight seasons with the Connecticut Sun, is also an unrestricted free agent, and her next move will be closely watched. Additionally, Alyssa Thomas's future with the Sun remains uncertain, and she could potentially be part of a package deal with her fiancée, DeWanna Bonner, which could attract interest from various teams.

The standings from the end of the 2022 regular season show the Las Vegas Aces and Chicago Sky tied at the top with impressive 26-10 records, followed closely by the Connecticut Sun at 25-11. The Seattle Storm and Washington Mystics are tied for fourth place with 22-14 records. With the focus shifting to free agency, the excitement surrounding player movements is set to overshadow the current standings and match results.
