2025 WNBA Finals Contender Kierstan Bell Signs for fourth AU Pro Basketball Season
Another WNBA Finals contender is set to make her way to Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball this winter. Las Vegas Aces forward and two-time WNBA champion Kierstan Bell will return for her fourth AU season after helping lead her W squad back to the championship stage.
Bell has been a consistent presence since joining AU in 2023, ranking eighth all-time with 13,613 career leaderboard points and among the top 10 in nearly every major statistical category. She sits tied for sixth in MVP points (840), ninth in stat points (4,783), and eighth in scoring average (15.5 points per game) across 39 career contests.
The 6-foot-1 guard also ranks fourth in made three-pointers (87) and fifth in total field goals (233). She is one of just two players (alongside Kelsey Mitchell) to record 30 or more threes in multiple AU seasons.
During the 2025 campaign, Bell finished with 2,974 leaderboard points, averaging 10.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. She earned two Game MVP honors and reached double figures in eight of 12 outings, marking her third straight season inside the league’s top 15.
Bell was the third-place finisher in 2024 and landed in the top 10 as a rookie in 2023, and has become one of AU’s top sharpshooters.
In the WNBA, she’s continued to carve out her role with the Aces, averaging 4.2 points and 1.8 rebounds this season, including a season-high 19 points in July against the Dallas Wings. Bell was selected 11th overall in the 2022 WNBA Draft and has since collected two league titles while gaining international experience in Australia (Adelaide Lightning) and Turkey (Nesibe Aydin Ankara).
Before going pro, Bell starred at Florida Gulf Coast University, where she earned AP and USBWA All-America honors, two ASUN Player of the Year awards, and the Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year title while leading the Eagles to multiple NCAA Tournament runs.
She’ll join the AU Pro Basketball field in Nashville this winter, bringing championship experience and proven scoring ability to a lineup already stacked with WNBA postseason talent.
AU Pro Basketball returns to Nashville, Tennessee, with elite talent and electrifying energy, for its fifth championship season on February 4, 2026, at Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium. Group and season ticket deposits for the upcoming season are available now.
