The Atlanta Dream are bringing back Allisha Gray, Brionna Jones and Naz Hillmon, all of whom have agreed to deals, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.
The person spoke to The Associated Press Friday night on condition of anonymity because contracts can't be signed until Saturday.
Gray averaged 18.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists to earn first team all-WNBA honors last season for the first time in her career. She finished fourth in MVP voting.
The 31-year-old Gray was the Rookie of the Year in 2017 and is a three-time All-Star.
Jones averaged 12.8 points and 7.3 rebounds last year in her first season with the Dream after playing her first eight years with Connecticut. The 30-year-old suffered a meniscus tear in late January while playing for a club in the Czech Republic, but is expected to be back in time for the start of the season.
Hillmon earned Sixth Woman of the Year honors last season after she averaged a career-best 8.6 pints, 6.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists.
ESPN was the first to report the deals.
It's been a productive week for the Dream, who acquired young star Angel Reese from the Chicago Sky on Monday. The team is also expected to re-sign Rhyne Howard and Jordin Canada.
This has been a busy offseason since the league and the players’ union signed a transformational labor deal that saw average salaries rise nearly fourfold. Players can earn over $1 million annually for the first time in league history, which is more than four times the previous maximum salary. More than 80% of players in the league are free agents.
