It is still a large season of a major rotation in Las Vegas only continues. Aleisha Clark is heading to the Seattle Storm, Ramona Shilborn from ESPN It was mentioned Thursday night. Clark spent the last two seasons with the foundations of Las Vegas – win The sixth player of the year and Wnba Championship in 2023 – but she spent 9 years of her career in Seattle, where she won two championships.
What Aleisha Clark brings to the Seattle Storm
In 37 years, Clark is one of the oldest players in the league, but it is still one of the most reliable players in Wnba. Last season, an average of 6 points, 3.6 rebound balls, 1.8 decisive passes, 44.3 % of the field and 37.3 % of three.
Seattle is preparing to have Skylar Diggins-Smith, Gabby Williams (which she did not officially re-sign), Ezi Magbigor, NNEKA OGWUMIKE, Jordan Horston and Li Yueru. Clark brings another veteran presence to the Win-of menu that also has a choice number 2 in the 2025 WNBA draft. It is also a person who can enhance the three -score of the team.

Clark is not exactly the player she was in Seattle in Seattle, but it is still very effective in what it does and the storm should help extend the floor during its minutes.
According to what Aces trading with Dana Evans while working to renew their seat
Clark’s departure from Las Vegas invented another question mark for Aceses, who lost many major players in this season. Indeed, the team witnessed a departure Tiffany Hayes and Kate Martin To Golden State Valkyries, and Sydney Colleson To Indiana fever. The team also lost the guard of all the stars Kelly Bloom To Los Angeles, they are honored in a trade that Giilel Lloyd fell (all the stars themselves).
However, Friday morning, Chicago Sun Times Annie Costpel I mentioned that Aces was trading the second round choices with the second round choices to Chicago Sky against Dana Evans. Last season, the average Evans reached 7.2 points and 2.4 decisive passes for the sky, playing 19.2 minutes off the bench. But she is not a more effective scorer, just 36.7 % of the stadium in its five-year career in WNBA-a lesser step than Clark and Hayyiz, the most important substitute for the bench in the last season.

As of now, the Acess of the Kierstan Bell, the Megan Gustafson, the striker Parker-Tyus, Rookie Elizabeth Kitley, and Center Kiah Stokes. One of these players is likely to start with A’Ja Wilson at Frontcourt. Parker-Tyus should provide a big boost in Frontcourt- the 6’4 stars in 2023, and carry a professional average of 9.1 points and 5.1 rebounds for each game.
However, the Aces Acess currently has only 9 players under a-and-not-selection of the first round in 2025-so more moves to support the seat will inevitably come.
