The Atlanta Dream announced on Saturday that forward Laeticia Amihere has been waived. The move comes after the recent additions of Brittney Griner and Brionna Jones. It has been a busy offseason for the Dream, and now they are set to move on from Amihere.
Amihere, 23, has spent her two seasons in the WNBA with the Dream. She has averaged 2.0 points and 1.3 rebounds per outing during her two games in the league so far. One has to imagine that Amihere will draw interest from other teams, as she still has potential.
Atlanta needed to make a difficult decision as they continue to add talent from outside of the organization. Griner and Jones are both All-Star players, and they could help Atlanta compete at an especially high level during the 2025 season.
