Chelsea Gray’s face lit up as she was handed a tiny garment bag on her way to the photo area of the Aces’ media day Thursday. “Last year, I was barely able to walk,” she’d just finished telling reporters. “I’m just in a good space right now.”That much was evident as the three-time WNBA champion and six-time All-Star went on to pose for pictures with her 1-year-old son, Lennox, who sported his own black and silver Aces jersey to match hers.

The Aces cut their roster down to 14 players Wednesday by waiving 2025 draftee Harmoni Turner and fourth-year center Queen Egbo. Turner, 23, was selected in the third round of last month’s WNBA draft out of Harvard. She had four points, three rebounds, three steals and an assist in 18 preseason minutes with the Aces. Coach Becky Hammon had praised Turner for her attitude and aggressive play style. Egbo, 24, was selected 10th overall in the 2022 WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever.
