2024 WNBA Free Agency Tracker: Where stars like Breanna Stewart and Nneka Ogwumike will play next season

WNBA Free Agency is off to a running start. Things got going very early with a Breanna Stewart core designation. However, there are still so many unknowns, including a new wrinkle: where former Los Angeles Sparks franchise player Nneka Ogwumike will land.

Free agency for the league started January 21, and though deals cannot be signed until February 1, there have been lots of early positive conversations. With the New York Liberty giving Stewart a core designation, all eyes turned to other big names like Brittney Griner, Jonquel Jones and Elena Delle Donne.

Still, Ogwumike telling the Sparks that she intended to explore free agency after a 12-year career with the organization has sent shock waves through the league circles. It’s unclear where she will land, but her decision could influence the free agency landscape.

As rumors turn to confirmations, here are the top WNBA free agency moves thus far:

*This player’s deal has been agreed to in principle and has not yet been signed.

**This player has a “core” designation. A “core” designation allows a team to designate a player as essential to the team’s success and identity. Any player with this label no longer has an unrestricted free agent status, giving the team exclusive rights to negotiate a new contract. Additionally, per the WNBA CBA, the player will be offered a one-year super-max contract at minimum, but a longer deal can be made with the team.
