Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray has been named the WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played August 4–10, according to an announcement by the league on Tuesday. This marks Gray’s third Player of the Week award during the 2025 season, making her the first Atlanta Dream player to earn this distinction three times in a single year since 2018.
During that week, Gray averaged 21.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game while shooting 55.6% from the field. The team secured two road wins, defeating both the Chicago Sky and Phoenix Mercury.
On August 7 in Chicago, Gray led all scorers with 25 points and added four rebounds on efficient shooting as Atlanta won 86-65. Three days later against Phoenix, she contributed 17 points, five rebounds, and five assists in a 74-66 victory, again leading her team in scoring. The win over Phoenix pushed Atlanta past 20 victories for only the third time in franchise history.
