Two of South Carolina’s most celebrated basketball alumni are making headlines once again — this time by dominating both sides of the WNBA map. In Week 10 of the 2025 season, Alisha Gray of the Atlanta Dream and A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces were named Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, showcasing the Gamecock legacy in full force.
For Gray, it’s yet another accolade in a stellar season. The Eastern Conference star averaged 21.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game while leading the Dream to a perfect 2-0 record for the week. Her consistency on both ends of the floor has been a driving force in Atlanta’s recent surge, making her a centerpiece in the team’s playoff push.
On the Western Conference side, Wilson continued her dominance as one of the league’s most unstoppable forces. The two-time MVP averaged a staggering 29.3 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, powering the Aces to an undefeated 3-0 week. Her inside presence, scoring versatility, and defensive intensity continue to set the standard for excellence in the WNBA.
Both players have long been cornerstones of the South Carolina Gamecocks’ basketball history, and their latest achievements highlight the program’s ability to produce not just champions in college, but perennial stars at the professional level.
With the playoffs approaching, Gray and Wilson are both hitting peak form — a dangerous sign for any team standing in their way.
