Next on the list is her former teammate Candace Parker, who has 53 assists more than Chelsea Gray, followed by her head coach Becky Hammon, who has 127 assists more. Gray will most likely pass Parker with 11 games left in the regular season. To pass Hammon this season, she would need to average about 12 assists per game.

Gray’s playmaking abilities has contributed significantly to the Aces offense since her return from injury. The playmaking ability was on full display against the Sky, as she made a great pass on the inbounds play to A’ja Wilson, who scored the game-winning shot.
