A towering figure in women’s basketball, Chelsea Gray has captivated the fans and rivals alike. Her sharp passing skills and stellar basketball IQ mixed with standout court vision have earned her the moniker – ‘Point Gawd’. With her undeniable influence on the WNBA, her career brims with career-defining milestones that include multiple championship titles and All-Star selections.

For Las Vegas, she has been a pillar of strength even though she was down with her injury last year. But that didn’t stop her. She stayed beside her teammates and kept boosting them when they practiced in the gym. Perhaps that’s why she is considered an integral part of the close-knit Aces group. And surely, all these actions should get the much-deserved mints to her account.

Chelsea Gray’s WNBA contracts and salary through the years

Although Chelsea Gray entered the league in 2014, her first contract came in 2019 when she signed a 1-year deal with the LA Sparks with an average annual salary of $115,000. Similarly, she signed another 1-year deal with the franchise early in 2020 worth $195,000, which would make Gray a free agent in 2021.

In January 2021, Gray signed a 2-year contract with the Las Vegas Aces worth $386,817, which included an average annual salary of $193,409. Thereafter, she signed a 2-year extension with the Aces in 2022, worth $392,534 where she earned a base salary and cap hit of $206,267.

Last season, she earned a base salary of $196,267, which is the same amount she is making this year and will continue to make the next year, per the contract. So far, she has earned $903,084 in the WNBA through two teams.

Besides that, Gray has also signed an endorsement deal with Adidas that includes a signature shoe. Let’s explore it some more.

Gray’s signature shoe with Adidas and more

Gray signed a partnership deal with the sports apparel brand and has her exclusive orange and purple edition of Dame 8 shoes with her moniker, POINT GAWDDDDD along the heel. These shoes were launched last year exclusively at the Adidas flagship store in Las Vegas. This collaboration reflects her strong marketability and her firm relationship with the brand.

Besides the league and the WNBA, Gray also makes the most of her off-season as she flies across the Atlantic. Before her inaugural season in the league, Gray had flown off to play in Isreal for Hapoel Rishon Le-Zion.

Then in the 2015-16 off-season, she went to Spain and played for the Spanish professional women’s basketball club from Girona called Uni Girona CB. In the same offseason, she played for Abdullah Gul Univerity’s Kayseri Basketbol club based in Kayseri, Turkey. She re-signed with the club and played the 2016-17 offseason there only.

However, for her next overseas stint, she signed with Botas SK, which is a women’s basketball club based in Ankara. Then for the 2020 season, she signed with Fenerbache women’s basketball, which is a part of a major Turkish multi-sport club based in Istanbul. Certainly, despite being a primary playmaker for the back-to-back champions, Gray likes to keep her hands as well as her bank accounts full.
