The WNBA free agency period produced several significant player movements as teams reshaped their rosters under the league's new collective bargaining agreement.

Satou Sabally signed with the New York Liberty, adding a fourth star player to the defending champions' roster. The forward's addition strengthens New York's lineup as they prepare to defend their title.

Alanna Smith, who shared the 2024 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year award, left the Minnesota Lynx to join the Dallas Wings. Smith will play under head coach Jose Fernandez as Dallas looks to build around the defensive standout.

The new collective bargaining agreement has enabled players to secure larger contracts than in previous years, with multiple record-setting deals reported across the league during this free agency period.

Other teams, including the Chicago Sky, also made roster moves during the signing period as franchises positioned themselves for the upcoming season.
