WNBA Free Agency Opens with Brittney Griner and Kelsey Mitchell in Spotlight

Griner explores options outside Phoenix for the first time, while speculation grows around Mitchell's future with Indiana Fever.

Brittney Griner, a 10-time All-Star, is testing free agency for the first time and meeting with multiple teams, departing from her usual practice of re-signing with the Phoenix Mercury.
Candace Parker has speculated that Kelsey Mitchell, currently under a core offer from the Indiana Fever, could leave the team, potentially joining the Golden State Valkyries via a sign-and-trade deal.
The Golden State Valkyries, an expansion team with the most cap space in the league, are positioned to make significant moves in their inaugural season.
Jewell Loyd has requested a trade from the Seattle Storm, adding another layer of intrigue to an already dynamic free agency period.
With 59 free agents available and a new collective bargaining agreement on the horizon, many players are expected to sign one-year deals to position themselves for future salary increases.
