Here are more signings in the WNBA over the past week.
The Atlanta Dream have signed Markiesha Gatling and Whitney Knight to training camp deals.
Gatling, particularly, played for the Seattle Storm last season before the Dream picked her up. With Reshanda Gray gone, she should get a shot to at least be a back-up big to Elizabeth Williams.

The Phoenix Mercury have added another backcourt scorer in Yvonne Turner, who is currently doing lots of damage for Uniqa Sopron in the 2016-17 EuroLeague Women season.
Turner is averaging a league-high 19.3 PPG on 37.9 percent shooting from three-point range, along with 4.2 RPG and 4.9 APG.
Phoenix has also signed Olympian Stephanie Talbot of the Australian Opals and Emma Cannon.

Avery Warley-Talbert, meanwhile, headlines the Los Angeles Sparks' training camp signees.
Warley-Talbert appeared in only three games in 2016, so it's good that she is getting a shot at making a roster anew.

The Seattle Storm have signed center Nikki Greene, who last played WNBA ball in 2015.
