Las Vegas got 96.3% of its 2026 points from players with five or more seasons

By Ryan MoalemiNovember 3, 2026

The Las Vegas Aces got 96.3% of their 2026 regular-season points from players with five or more seasons in Full Court Buckets' file, and that group scored 56.0% of all WNBA points. Five seasons is the CBA line for unrestricted free agency once a contract ends.

Share of 2026 points scored by players with 5+ seasons

Las Vegas also got 96.0% of its minutes from that five-season group. League-wide, the four-season group scored 6.9% of the points and the three-or-fewer group scored 37.1%.

Source: Full Court Buckets regular-season file for 2026 (ppg and mpg multiplied by games). Data through the end of the 2026 regular season. The Finals ended Oct. 31, 2026, and these rows leave out the playoffs. Methods: a player is in the 5+ group when the 2008-2026 season files show at least five regular seasons with a game. Four seasons is the restricted group. Three or fewer is the reserved group. The WNBA row includes every player. Team rows leave out Lexi Held (Toronto and Phoenix on one row, 225.1 points) and Aneesah Morrow (Connecticut and Toronto, 295.9 points) because the file does not split their games. Shares can move by a fraction of a point because averages are stored to one or two decimals. Rounded shares can miss 100 by a tenth. Kelsey Mitchell's row is 24.68 points times 44 games, or 1,085.9, against 1,086 points on the WNBA.com season awards story. Class if contract ends is the CBA result if the contract ends after 2026.

Every 2026 player, by the CBA test

Class if contract ends is what Article VI assigns if the contract has ended. Restricted and reserved players get that status only if the old team sends a qualifying offer from Jan. 30 through Feb. 3, 2027. If it does not, they are unrestricted.

Source: the same 2026 regular-season file, plus season files back to 2008 for the season count. Data through the end of the 2026 regular season. Methods: Class if contract ends is UFA at five or more seasons (CBA Article VI, Section 9), RFA at four (Section 5(b), only if the team sends a qualifying offer), and Reserved at three or fewer (Section 8, only if the team sends a qualifying offer). An asterisk means one of those seasons had fewer than seven games. Article I does not credit a year for a 7-day contract, a developmental contract, or replacement contracts covering fewer than seven games. A standard contract that reaches the active list does count. The file does not record contract type, so those seasons are counted and marked. The data is free to use and republish (CC0). Download CSV (CC0)

Key dates

The dates below are the ones in the CBA text. The lottery date is from the league's Oct. 28 release.

The 2026 salary cap is $7 million, Article VII, Section 1(a) of the same CBA. What clubs take in at the gate and on sponsorships is a different ledger, on FCB's team revenue page. The 2026 season ended Oct. 31, when the Golden State Valkyries beat the Atlanta Dream 68-63 in Game 7. The game recap has the series.

Houston, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Toronto and Washington are in the Nov. 15 drawing. The release says Phoenix had traded its first-round pick to Los Angeles, and Chicago had traded its first-round pick to Washington.

Where the public lists disagree

Statuses are official when the league publishes its list in February. Until then, a season count can show which label the CBA rule supports, and where it cannot.

The file has 4 regular seasons with at least one game (2021, 2022, 2023, 2026). She did not appear in 2024 or 2025. Article VI, Section 5(b) makes four years of service restricted if Dallas sends a qualifying offer. Section 9's unrestricted status needs five. Her Hoop Stats and the CBS Sports ranking of Nov. 2 both list her as restricted. A four-season count agrees with that label and does not support an unrestricted label. The league's own service ledger is the piece this file does not have.

CBS and Her Hoop Stats list her as restricted, which is the four-year status in Section 5(b). This file does not show a four-season count.

The file has 5 regular seasons with at least one game (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026). The short season is 2022 (3 games). If 2022 counts, Section 9 makes her unrestricted. If that season was only a 7-day contract, a developmental contract, or replacement contracts covering fewer than seven games, Article I drops the year and she has four, which is restricted if the Sparks send a qualifying offer. CBS and Her Hoop Stats list her as restricted. The 2022 contract type is not in this file, so both readings stay open.

Her Hoop Stats still lists her as an unrestricted free agent. This reporting did not find a league or team release that announces a retirement, so she stays on the table. A podcast comment is not that release.

The names on the November rankings

CBS Sports ranked ten players on Nov. 2. The lines below use the season file and the CBA. Contract length is included only where a team document states it.

29.3 minutes, 50.0% from the field, 44.4% from three.

Seasons in the file: 2019 through 2026, eight in all, with 2022 limited to 4 games. The Lynx game notes of June 19, 2026 say the team re-signed her to a one-year contract on April 16, and the bio line calls 2026 her 8th year. The roster table in those same notes lists her experience as 7, matching the seven seasons before 2026. The notes also say she had surgery on her left ankle on March 24 and, as of June 19, had missed the first 15 games. Article VI, Section 7(b) allows a 2027 core designation only for a player with six or fewer years of service. Eight seasons is past that line, and so is seven if the four-game 2022 season is set aside.

Played all but one game. Her eight seasons run 2019 through 2026, with none under seven games. The Aces' April 11 release announces the re-signing and does not state the length. Eight seasons is past the six-year core line in Section 7(b).

32.5 minutes, 50.9% from the field, 45.0% from three.

That is nine seasons, 2018 through 2026. The Fever's April 11 release says she returns for a ninth season and does not state the length. WNBA.com's awards story says she scored 1,086 points, which the story calls the record for most points in a season, at 24.7 per game in 44 games. Nine seasons is past the core line in Section 7(b).

Kelsey Plum

Kelsey Plum is split across two rows: 12 games with the Los Angeles Sparks at 23.9 points per game, and 5 games with the Phoenix Mercury at 15.8. Seasons in the file: 2017, 2018, 2019, then 2021 through 2026. No 2020. WNBA.com's trade-deadline story says the Sparks sent her to the Mercury for Monique Akoa Makani, a 2027 first-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick, and says she had signed a one-year deal with the Sparks. That length is in the deadline story, not in a signing release read for this page. Nine seasons is past the core line.

23.3 minutes, 54.6% from the field, 33.3% from three.

Played all 44 games. The file has one season, 2026. That is reserved under Section 8 if New York sends a reserved qualifying offer, and unrestricted if it does not. Her Hoop Stats lists her as reserved. She is not in the CBS top ten.

A'ja Wilson

A'ja Wilson led that five-season group with 26.2 points per game in 41 games, 1,073.0 points in this file, with 9.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists. Those points sit inside the Las Vegas share. Her 2026 contract length is not in a release read for this page, so 96.3% is a service-class share. It is not a count of points already headed to free agency.

Who can be cored, and who cannot

Article VI, Section 7(a) lets each team designate one veteran free agent as a core player. A player who is still under a contract she signed while designated counts against that one spot. Section 7(d) says the designation ends when the original term ends, or when she is traded, the contract ends, or she retires.

Section 7(b) limits designations made before the 2026 season: a player who had already played two seasons on a core contract could not be designated again. For 2027, the same section says only a player with six or fewer years of service may be designated. The example in the text is that a player may not be designated after the season in which she accrues a seventh year.

On that 2027 test, Collier, Young, Mitchell and Plum cannot be cored. The same is true of anyone else with seven or more seasons in the player file. Four seasons or fewer is not a core candidate in the ordinary case, because Section 7(a) applies the designation to a player who would otherwise be unrestricted or restricted. Reserved players are not in that sentence.

Exhibit 4 lists core service after the 2025 season, including Kelsey Mitchell in 2025, Kelsey Plum in 2025, and Breanna Stewart in 2024 and 2025. It does not say which of those contracts, if any, still run in 2027. This page does not mark any team's 2027 core spot as already used.

What this file does not say

It does not say the contract is over. A player with eight seasons can be unrestricted and still be signed. The only 2026 term confirmed here from a team document is Collier's one-year deal in the Lynx notes. The February list is the one that will match names to statuses after the qualifying offers go out.

Salaries are not in the file. Developmental contracts are not marked, and Section 8 also reserves a player who finished the season on one of those if the team sends the offer. Players who did not appear in the 2026 regular-season file, including anyone whose contract expired while suspended, are not in the table. Article VI, Section 3 keeps a player who withheld services off the free-agent list unless the old team agrees.
