Waived on Bus Ride, Winterburn Finds New Path with Portland Fire

Rookie guard Holly Winterburn, who hoped to debut for the Atlanta Dream, was waived as she boarded the team bus, freeing a roster spot for Aaliyah Nye. After an injury kept her season sidelined, she appeared in a May 3 preseason loss with 12 points in 23 minutes. The Portland Fire then signed her to a developmental contract — a new CBA provision allowing expansion teams to develop players without counting toward the 12-man roster. Winterburn previously played for London Lions coach Alex Sarama in 2023-24.
