Aces Secure Star Guard Chelsea Gray in Blockbuster $3M Deal!

Star free agent Chelsea Gray has officially finalized a three-year, $3 million fully guaranteed deal to return to the Las Vegas Aces, as confirmed by a source to ESPN's Kendra Andrews on Friday. This significant agreement secures the continued presence of a pivotal player for the Aces, a franchise that has seen considerable success in recent years.

In the 2025 season, Gray was instrumental in leading Las Vegas to its third WNBA championship in four years. Her performance included impressive averages of 11.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.9 assists, showcasing her all-around impact on the court during a title-winning campaign.

Gray entered the most recent season with a clear objective to demonstrate her capabilities after an injury-riddled 2024. During that year, she was limited to only 27 games, battling various injuries that affected her playing time and production. Her scoring average of 8.6 points per game in 2024 marked her lowest output since her sophomore season back in 2016, highlighting the challenges she faced.

Beyond her WNBA commitments, Gray also made a significant impact during the offseason. She delivered a standout performance in Unrivaled's inaugural year, where she ultimately secured the championship title in Miami and was deservedly named the Finals MVP for her efforts.

At 33 years old, Gray boasts an illustrious career filled with accolades. She currently ranks sixth all-time in assists with a total of 1,870, with Courtney Vandersloot being the only active player ahead of her on this prestigious list. Furthermore, she is a six-time All-Star, was named the MVP of the WNBA Finals in 2022, and has earned two Olympic gold medals, representing her country in both the 2020 and 2024 Games.
