The Dallas Wings have signed 3-time WNBA champion Alysha Clark to a 1-year contract, adding veteran leadership and championship pedigree to a roster that includes the last two No. 1 overall draft picks, Azzi Fudd and Paige Beuckers.

Why it matters

The Wings are looking to turn things around after two straight seasons at the bottom of the WNBA standings. The addition of Clark, along with other key free agent signings like Alanna Smith and Jessica Shepard, gives the team a mix of proven talent and young potential that could make them a contender in the Western Conference.

The details

Clark, who is 38 years old, is joining the Wings after spending the 2025 season split between the Seattle Storm and Washington Mystics. Last year, she averaged 3.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game while shooting 37.1% from the field and 27.1% from 3-point range.

  • Clark will be entering her 11th WNBA season in 2026.
  • The Wings selected Azzi Fudd with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft and Paige Beuckers with the No. 1 pick in 2026.
