What happened: Chelsea Gray has taken sole possession of second place on the WNBA all-time playoff assists leaderboard. She achieved the milestone during the opening round of the 2026 postseason.
Why it matters: The achievement solidifies Gray's status as one of the premier playmakers in league history. She now trails only Connecticut Sun forward Alyssa Thomas for the most assists in postseason play.
By the numbers: Entering the 2026 playoffs with 389 career postseason assists, Gray needed two to pass Vandersloot's mark of 390. Thomas currently holds the all-time record with 410.
What to watch: Gray will look to close the gap on Thomas as Las Vegas pursues another championship.
