Gray is currently preparing for the Unrivaled Basketball season. She revealed that she has been working on her three-point shot, something she could look to further improve during the upcoming Unrivaled campaign.
Chelsea Gray's three-point shooting
Gray, a six-time All-Star, has shot 38.2 percent from beyond the arc for her career. She's been a respectable three-point shooter throughout her career, but Gray shot just 33.8 percent from deep in 2024. She clearly wants to find consistency once again with the shot.
It is worth noting that Gray shot 42.1 percent while averaging 3.8 three-point attempts per game in 2023. She has certainly displayed the ability to be a quality three-point shooter in recent years. If Gray can find her consistent shot once again, 2025 could be a big season for her.
Overall, Gray averaged 8.6 points per outing during the '24 season, her lowest points per game average since 2016. Gray also recorded 4.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 steals per outing.
Gray's impact on Las Vegas Aces
The Aces, as mentioned, failed to win the WNBA Finals last season. However, they won championships in 2022 and 2023. The future remains bright for the Aces, as they feature enough talent to still compete. Gray's play in 2025 will be important for determining how well the team performs. A'ja Wilson, who earned her third career WNBA MVP Award in 2024, will lead the way once again.
Wilson is arguably the best player in the entire league. With Wilson on the floor, Las Vegas will have a serious chance to compete at a high level once again.
For now, all eyes are on the Unrivaled Basketball league. The new 3v3 league projects to be competitive, as it features no shortage of WNBA stars.
The league will benefit Chelsea Gray as she looks to recapture her three-point consistency. It should play a big role in helping many players prepare for the 2025 WNBA season. Aces fans will surely pay close attention to Gray's performance in the Unrivaled Basketball league ahead of the 2025 WNBA regular season.
