Allisha Gray (born January 12, 1995) is an American professional basketball player for the Dallas Wings of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She played college basketball for North Carolina and South Carolina.
High School career
She was a member of the U18 USA Basketball National Team as well as the 3-on-3 National Team. Named 3A state player of the year three times.

College career
Heavily recruited by power programs, she was ranked the 7th overall player as part of a high profile 2013 recruiting class. After receiving offers from Maryland, Kentucky, South Carolina, etc., she eventually chose to attend North Carolina to play for Coach Sylvia Hatchell. After two years in Chapel Hill, Gray shockingly announced that she would be transferring. It was then reported that her reason for transferring was due to UNC's athletic-academic scandal. In May 2015, it was announced that Gray had transferred to South Carolina to play for Dawn Staley. Gray eventually won a National Championship in her first season of eligibility.
Professional career
WNBA
After helping lead South Carolina to the NCAA Championship, Gray opted to enter the 2017 WNBA Draft. By entering, she would forego her final season of college eligibility.[1] She was drafted 4th overall by the Dallas Wings placing her in the city where she won a national title two weeks prior, and eventually pairing her with South Carolina teammate, Kaela Davis, who was selected 10th. In her lone season at South Carolina, she averaged 13ppg & 4.8rpg.
