Eight-year WNBA veteran Gabby Williams has signed a multiyear contract with Unrivaled, the 3-on-3 women’s basketball league announced on Thursday.
Williams, 29, did not play with Unrivaled for the league’s first two seasons while she played with Fenerbahçe SK in FIBA EuroLeague Women in 2025 and 2026. During the past two seasons with Fenerbahçe, Williams earned first-team and second-team All-EuroLeague honors and was twice named Defensive Player of the Year.
This season is Williams’ first with the Golden State Valkyries after she played the past four years with the Seattle Storm. She is currently averaging a career-high 16.3 points and shooting 38% on 82 3-point attempts.
Last season, the 5-foot-11 forward registered 99 steals, tying for the second-most for a season in WNBA history (and finishing one behind the record set in 1998 by Teresa Witherspoon). She finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting behind co-winners Alanna Smith and A’ja Wilson.
Williams was originally the 2018 first-round pick of the Chicago Sky (No. 4 overall) out of UConn. She played three years for the Sky before missing the 2021 season while playing for the French Olympic team. Chicago suspended her for being unavailable and traded her to the Los Angeles Sparks. However, due to her suspension, she never played there and was traded before the 2022 season to the Storm.
