With the WNBA trade deadline approaching on Sunday, teams are assessing their needs for playoff pushes and future building. A significant number of players on one-year deals and the depth of upcoming drafts add complexity to potential moves.

Kelsey Plum, averaging 23.9 points and 6.4 assists for the Los Angeles Sparks before a leg injury, could be a target for teams like the Golden State Valkyries or Washington Mystics, who need offensive firepower or a playoff boost. However, her health and willingness to sign long-term are key considerations.

Aneesah Morrow of the Connecticut Sun shows significant upside, averaging 11.1 points and 9.0 rebounds. She could be a fit for the Toronto Tempo or Phoenix Mercury, who are looking to improve rebounding and build for the future. Her health is also a factor.

Other players to watch include Betnijah Laney-Hamilton of the New York Liberty, Maddy Siegrist of the Dallas Wings, and Skylar Diggins of the Chicago Sky, as teams navigate roster decisions before the deadline.
