Overview
- Holly Winterburn said she was waived as she boarded the Atlanta Dream bus for Saturday’s season opener against the Dallas Wings.
- She had made the initial roster earlier in the week, then the Dream signed former Aces guard Aaliyah Nye and moved on from Winterburn.
- Winterburn missed the entire 2025 season with an injury after signing with Atlanta as an undrafted free agent and she logged preseason minutes this spring.
- In an Instagram story posted Tuesday, she said she hoped her “welcome to the W” would be on the court and she thanked the Dream while saying she is “built for this.”
- She is now a free agent who can sign with any team, a situation that reflects broader early-season churn as clubs juggle depth and fit under new roster and developmental rules.
