ATLANTA – Baylor’s Bella Fontleroy has signed a training camp contract with the Atlanta Dream, as announced on Wednesday night.
A two-time All-Big 12 Defensive Team selection and two-time Honorable Mention All-Big 12 honoree, Fontleroy capped her Baylor career by starting each of her final 75 games wearing the green and gold after a unanimous selection to the 2023 Big 12 All-Freshman Team.
The Springfield, Mo., native averaged 9.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game in 2025-26 while contributing 26.1 minutes per contest as the team’s defensive anchor, leading Baylor with 50 steals on the season while reaching the 100-career block milestone after recording three blocks at Utah and a season-high five against Colorado. She was also the only Bear to score in every game during the campaign.
Fontleroy surpassed 1,000 career points with a 21-point performance against Le Moyne and finished her career with 183 made 3-pointers on 570 attempts. Those totals rank fourth in program history in 3-pointers made and third in attempts. She scored in double figures 13 times during the season and posted a season-high 26 points against Lindenwood while tying her career high with 15 field goal attempts.
Training camps for the 30th season of the WNBA begin April 19, with preseason games starting April 25. The regular season tips off May 8, with Connecticut at New York and Washington at Toronto beginning simultaneously at 6:30 p.m. CT.
