“It takes late nights in the gym, it takes hanging out off the court, it takes actually getting to know one another off the court .” These words from Myisha Hines-Allen perfectly capture her approach to this team-based game. A true Swiss Army knife in the WNBA, Hines‑Allen brings veteran versatility to the young Dallas Wings roster. Her impact isn’t just intangible, but it’s showing up on the stat sheet, too.

In the 2025 season, she’s averaging 6.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game. With a steady presence like Hines‑Allen holding down the fort, it’s no surprise that rookies like Paige Bueckers have more room to operate offensively. Given all she brings to the table, Dallas didn’t hesitate to invest in her. But what exactly does that investment look like? Let’s take a closer look at the full details of the veteran forward’s contract.

What are the terms and salary details of Myisha Hines-Allen’s current contract with the Dallas Wings?

Myisha Hines-Allen joined the Dallas Wings on February 2, 2025, signing a one-year deal worth $203,000, fully guaranteed. The contract, which carries no signing bonus, accounts for a $203,000 cap hit for the 2025 WNBA season. Regardless of performance or playing time, Hines‑Allen will receive the full amount and is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2026.

This guaranteed contract reflects both her veteran status and proven impact in the league. Hines‑Allen entered the WNBA in 2018 with the Washington Mystics and quickly rose to prominence. In 2020, she earned All-WNBA Second Team honors after averaging a career-best 17.0 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. She was also a crucial part of the Mystics’ championship run in 2019.

In August 2024, she was traded to the Minnesota Lynx in exchange for Olivia Époupa, Sika Koné, and a 2026 second-round pick. Though not a starter in Minnesota, Hines‑Allen delivered strong minutes off the bench. Averaging 7.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in just 18.7 minutes per game, she contributed to yet another championship finals appearance.

Now with the Wings, her combination of playoff experience, versatility, and leadership has earned her both a prominent role and a well-deserved paycheck. But her experience is the reason she is getting a large sum from the Wings.
