Brittney Griner and Satou Sabally lead a dynamic WNBA free agency, with significant roster changes ahead.

As of January 21, 2025, the WNBA has entered a thrilling free agency period, allowing teams to negotiate with free agents. This year is particularly captivating with the introduction of the Golden State Valkyries and the upcoming changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) set for 2026. Key players are actively exploring their options, making this a pivotal moment in the league`s landscape.

Brittney Griner, a cornerstone of the Phoenix Mercury since her draft in 2013, is testing the free agency waters for the first time. Her meetings with multiple teams have generated significant buzz, as fans eagerly await her decision. Another notable player, Satou Sabally, has announced she will not return to the Dallas Wings, positioning herself as a hot commodity in the market. Teams like the New York Liberty, Minnesota Lynx, and Las Vegas Aces are expected to pursue her, with the Liberty emerging as a strong contender due to their impressive roster, including Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu.

Bri Jones, a multi-time All-Star and one of the league`s top interior scorers, is also in high demand. The Las Vegas Aces are likely to show interest in her services, seeking to bolster their lineup alongside A`ja Wilson. Meanwhile, the Connecticut Sun and the Golden State Valkyries hold significant cap space, making them key players in this free agency frenzy. The Sun face potential losses of key players like DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas, adding urgency to their strategy.

Diana Taurasi, the WNBA`s all-time leading scorer, remains undecided about her future, further complicating the free agency dynamics. The looming CBA changes are influencing many players to consider one-year deals, creating a complex and intriguing free agency landscape. The presence of the Unrivaled 3-on-3 league as a networking venue adds another layer of excitement to this period.
