Aerial Powers is an American WNBA guard from Detroit, Michigan. Listed at 5-foot-11, she played collegiately at Michigan State, where she earned All-Big Ten recognition in each of her three playing seasons and established herself as one of the program’s leading scorers and rebounders. Dallas selected Powers with the fifth overall pick in the first round of the 2016 WNBA Draft. She made the league’s 2016 All-Rookie Team.

Powers began her WNBA career with the Dallas Wings, then was traded to the Washington Mystics during the 2018 season. She was part of Washington’s 2019 championship team and later played for the Minnesota Lynx and Atlanta Dream. In 2025, Golden State signed her in June and waived her later that month; she subsequently appeared with Indiana that season. As of September 11, 2026, she is not on the Indiana Fever’s official 2026 roster, so no current WNBA team is stated here. Her game is built around assertive wing scoring, attacking off the dribble, rebounding from the perimeter, and positional versatility.
