WNBA News: Atlanta makes roster changes; Williams won’t coach

The Atlanta Dream announced today, that they’ve waived Rachel Hollivay and Brianna Kiesel.

Hollivay, the 6-4 center who played in seven games and started one for the Dream, was in her second season for the team. She averaged 1.3 for both points and rebounds per game. Kiesel, a 5-7 guard out of Pittsburgh, had played in nine games during her first season with Atlanta. She averaged 1.6 points and 1.0 assists per game.

Although Atlanta dropped two players today, they will be regaining one more this week through veteran forward Sancho Lyttle, who is competing for Team Spain in the EuroBasket Tournament. Lyttle will be returning to the Dream this week after being temporarily suspended while playing overseas.
