Core Tags Put Ionescu, Collier, Plum Ahead of WNBA Free Agency

New York’s Sabrina Ionescu, Minnesota’s Napheesa Collier and Los Angeles’ Kelsey Plum received core franchise designations, granting their teams exclusive negotiating rights and a guaranteed one-year deal at the new supermax salary (up to about $1.4 million) as free agency opens. The core tag helps teams manage a roughly $7 million cap and can be used twice from 2027 onward on players with under seven years’ experience; other players tagged include Kelsey Mitchell, Arike Ogunbowale, Allisha Gray, Ariel Atkins and Ezi Magbegor. Expansion teams Portland and Toronto tagged Bridget Carleton and Marina Mabrey, respectively. The tag can lead to sign-and-trade deals; negotiations run this week with free agency starting Saturday and training camp beginning April 19. The delayed CBA pushed the start of free agency, and more than 80% of veteran players are free agents this year.
