The conclusion of All-Star Weekend officially heralds the second half of the WNBA season. Every team has between 15 (congrats, Seattle Storm!) and 18 games remaining to close out the 2026 campaign. If the first half of the season taught us anything — with the Minnesota Lynx rocketing to the top of the standings without Napheesa Collier, Marina Mabrey tying A’ja Wilson’s single-game scoring record and more — expect the remaining two months to be filled with the unexpected. With that in mind, it’s

The Minnesota Lynx go into the second half with the best record in the league (22-6) — and they did most of that without superstar Napheesa Collier, who made her season debut just last week following offseason surgery on both her ankles.
