Crystal Bradford Inks Training Camp Contract with Las Vegas Aces
Crystal Bradford is heading to Las Vegas.
The 6-foot forward is entering the final stretch of Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball Season 4 with a WNBA training camp contract in hand. She is set to join the Las Vegas Aces ahead of the 2025 season and will go into the training camp with some significant on-the-court momentum.
Bradford is currently averaging 16 points per game in Nashville and sits third on the leaderboard.
Bradford was selected as the 7th overall pick in the 2015 WNBA Draft by the Los Angeles Sparks. In her rookie year, she averaged 2.7 points and 1.3 rebounds over 15 games. She made her return to the WNBA in 2021 with the Atlanta Dream, where she appeared in 24 games and contributed 8.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game while shooting 42.9% from the field.
The Central Michigan grad has also made her mark internationally, playing in China, Finland, Israel, Turkey, and Poland. She most recently competed for the Shanghai Sharks, averaging 17.7 points and 12.4 rebounds per game and holding a 56.5% shooting percentage.
The Michigan native was named the 2013 Mid-American Conference Tournament MVP after helping Central Michigan claim league gold and secure its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1984. She is one of just three players in program history to score 2,000 career points. In 2013, she also went on to win gold with the USA World University Games Team in Kazan, Russia.
Bradford sits in the captain’s chair for Week Four of AU Pro Basketball in Nashville, Tenn., and will lead her team into its Thursday, Feb. 27 matchup against Team Sims. Tickets are on sale now.
