Free agent Alanna Smith agreed to a three-year max contract with the Dallas Wings, her agent, Sammy Wloszczowski of the Sports International Group agency, told ESPN on Saturday.

Smith, a 6-foot-4 forward, emerged as a defensive standout for the Minnesota Lynx in 2025, when she earned co-Defensive Player of the Year honors alongside A’ja Wilson and earned her second all-defensive team nod.

Smith joins the Wings to round out a productive free agency for Dallas, which re-signed Arike Ogunbowale and Awak Kuier, and added Jessica Shepard.

Minnesota has also parted ways with reserves Shepard, Natisha Hiedeman (Seattle Storm), Karlie Samuelson (free agent, Portland) and Maria Kliundikova (selected by Toronto Tempo in expansion).
