ATLANTA (April 19, 2026)\u00a0\u2013 The Atlanta Dream\u00a0has\u00a0announced the team\u2019s 2026 training\u00a0camp roster, featuring a blend of returning core players, key offseason acquisitions and promising young talent as the franchise continues its championship pursuit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Following a defining offseason that saw the organization re-sign its core group and\u00a0acquire\u00a0two-time WNBA All-Star Angel Reese, along with adding WNBL MVP Isobel Borlase and three selections in the 2026 WNBA Draft, Atlanta enters\u00a0camp with continuity, depth and a roster built for sustained success.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Atlanta\u2019s roster is anchored by the return of Allisha Gray, Brionna Jones, Jordin\u00a0Canada, Naz Hillmon and Rhyne Howard, alongside newly\u00a0acquired\u00a0two-time All-Star Angel Reese, forming a six-player core that has\u00a0established\u00a0itself among the WNBA\u2019s elite.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The group is complemented by returning contributors, including guard\u00a0Te-Hina Paopao, who saw action in all but one game during her rookie season and continues to build on a promising first year in Atlanta, showing growth as a reliable backcourt presence, along with Taylor Thierry, a member of the Dream\u2019s 2025 draft class who returns for her second season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That group was instrumental in the Dream\u2019s historic 2025 season, which saw 30 wins and a franchise-best .682 winning percentage. Together, they led the team across key statistical\u00a0categories, underscoring both their individual impact and collective consistency, and\u00a0represent\u00a0the standard being built in Atlanta;\u00a0talented,\u00a0unselfish\u00a0and fully committed to winning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Dream\u2019s roster is further strengthened by key offseason additions and a 2026 draft class that brings size,\u00a0versatility\u00a0and international experience to\u00a0camp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Atlanta selected Madina Okot (No. 13) and Indya Nivar (No. 28) in the 2026 WNBA Draft, adding a mix of frontcourt presence and defensive intensity. Okot, a 6-6 center, adds elite size and rebounding presence after\u00a0emerging\u00a0as one of the nation\u2019s top interior players, while Nivar brings a disruptive, defense-first approach with the ability to\u00a0impact\u00a0the game across multiple areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Atlanta also welcomes Isobel Borlase, the 2026 WNBL\u00a0MVP\u00a0and one of the most dynamic young guards in international basketball. Borlase arrives following a historic season overseas, adding scoring ability,\u00a0versatility\u00a0and a competitive edge to the Dream\u2019s backcourt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Additional\u00a0players competing for a spot on the Dream\u2019s opening day roster include Paige Robinson, Bella\u00a0Fontleroy, Sacha Washington, Laila Phelia, Holly Winterburn,\u00a0Sika\u00a0Kon\u00e9,\u00a0Maite\u00a0Cazorla\u00a0and\u00a0Stephanie Jones,\u00a0with Kon\u00e9 returning after spending time with the team last season. Competition across all positions is expected to be strong as Atlanta continues to elevate its\u00a0standard\u00a0of talent\u00a0and build depth throughout the roster.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Head Coach Karl\u00a0Smesko\u00a0enters his second WNBA season at the helm, continuing to implement a system built on precision,\u00a0spacing\u00a0and high-efficiency offense. With a full offseason and a returning core in place, the Dream will look to further\u00a0establish\u00a0its\u00a0identity on both ends of the floor heading into the 2026\u00a0campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n
