The Dallas Wings have added a third UConn alumna to the roster, joining No. 1 overall draft picks Azzi Fudd (2026) and Paige Bueckers (2025). The Wings signed guard Christyn Williams to a developmental contract, the team announced on Friday.
Williams has played in just four career WNBA games, which were all played with the Wings in 2025. Dallas signed Williams to an extreme hardship contract in August 2025. At the time, the Wings were dealing with multiple injuries that left Dallas without the league minimum eight players available.

Prior to her first stint with the Wings, Williams was the No. 14 overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft by the Washington Mystics. She suffered a season-ending injury before the start of her rookie season in 2022. Then, Williams went on to spend time with the Phoenix Mercury in 2023 and signed a training camp contract with the Minnesota Lynx in February 2024.
Williams' Career At UConn
Williams played all four seasons of her collegiate career at UConn from 2018-22. She played two seasons alongside Bueckers and one season with Fudd before entering the WNBA Draft in 2022.

In three of her four seasons, Williams helped the Huskies reach the Final Four. She also won the 2022 Ann Meyers Drysdale Award, which honors the nation's top shooting guard.
At the beginning of the season, the Golden State Valkryies featured the most former Huskies in Kaitlyn Chen, Tiffany Hayes, Kiah Stokes and Gabby Williams. With the addition of Williams, the Wings are a close second with three former UConn players on the roster.
