The Seattle Storm, Las Vegas Aces and Los Angeles Sparks are involved in a blockbuster trade that involves All-Stars Jewell Loyd and Kelsey Plum.

In a major WNBA trade, the Seattle Storm are trading six-time All-Star Jewell Loyd to the Las Vegas Aces in a three-team deal. As part of the trade, three-time All-Star Kelsey Plum will join the Los Angeles Sparks.

Plum helped the Aces win consecutive WNBA championships in 2022 and 2023. Loyd, a six-time All-Star, requested a trade last month out of Seattle

The deal sees six-time All-Star Jewell Loyd go from the Storm to the Aces and three-time All-Star Kelsey Plum sent from Las Vegas to the Sparks, per ESPN. The Storm will receive the No. 2 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft and Li Yueru from the Sparks — who are getting the No. 9 selection from Seattle. The Storm will be picking at No. 13 via the Sparks.

The WNBA began their free agency period with a bang this past weekend headlined by a blockbuster three-team trade featuring two U.S. Olympians.

In a massive three-team deal, the Seattle Storm are trading Jewell Loyd to the Las Vegas Aces in an agreement that will see star guard Kelsey Plum move to the Los Angeles Sparks, a league source confirmed Sunday.

In a stunning WNBA trade that has set the league on fire, Kelsey Plum is heading to the Los Angeles Sparks while Jewell Loyd is making her way to the reigning champions, the Las Vegas Aces. This massive roster shake-up comes after Loyd’s request for a trade following allegations of harassment within the Seattle Storm organization.

WNBA free agency period is moving right along, and big dominoes continue to fall. In recent days, the Connecticut Sun have reportedly agreed to trade Alyssa Thomas to the Phoenix Mercury, while the Atlanta Dream have reportedly agreed to a deal with Brittney Griner and Kelsey Mitchell has re-signed with the Indiana Fever.

Amid a flurry of trades across the WNBA, the Indiana Fever re-signed All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell to a one-year supermax contract worth around $249,000. Sometimes an evaluation doesn’t need to be overcomplicated. Fever executives entered this offseason with the top priority of re-signing two-time All-Star Kelsey Mitchell. Mission accomplished.

This trade marks the first instance where two former No. 1 overall draft picks have been exchanged in the same transaction. Loyd, who spent a decade with the Storm, secured two WNBA championships and earned the 2023 scoring title.
