Jordan Horston starts in Seattle's WNBA regular-season finale against Dallas.

As the playoff picture is finally coming into focus, it’s fitting that the final seeds won’t be settled until the last day of the season. You know what’s not being left until the last day of the season? The Athletic’s experts taking stock of the league and making decisions on year-end awards. We unveiled our choices for Most Improved Player and Coach of the Year on Wednesday.

After the Minnesota Lynx, with an (unwanted?) assist from the Portland Fire, locked down the No. 1 seed on Tuesday, the Atlanta Dream earned the No. 4 seed and homecourt advantage in the first round with a second-straight win over the now-official No. 8-seed New York Liberty. With New York’s loss, the Dallas Wings secured the No. 7 seed with t...

Sydney Taylor commands her own momentum. This becomes obvious the moment the Chicago Sky guard begins to move downhill. Once in motion, Taylor doesn’t rely on anyone’s propulsion but her own. She slips from side to side, head swiveling to locate her defender. When the contact is too close, she balances the ball on her fingertips like a dish on a platter, waiting to be served smoothly into the ...

Fever’s final regular-season game could change their first-round playoff matchup

Rhyne Howard etched her name into the history books this week when the Atlanta Dream beat the New York Liberty. The Dream played their final regular season game of the year on Wednesday and earned themselves a comfortable 83-65 win.

The Lynx's defensive woes are concerning. Will it be enough to win them a WNBA title?

The Minnesota Lynx and Indiana Fever close out the regular season with the second half of a home-and-home series on Thursday. Here's how to watch.

When the Indiana Fever erupted for 57 points in the first half of a blowout win over Minnesota on Tuesday, they could draw a straight line from their latest offensive explosion to comments from the opposing team’s superstar a year before. At the end of the 2025 season, Lynx star Napheesa Collier unloaded on the unacceptable quality of officiating in the WNBA (among other topics) and set in motion a reimagining of the way the league calls games. “You come to watch players play offense and to scor

Cathy Engelbert is leaving behind a WNBA that looks almost unrecognizable from the league she inherited in 2019, with the league’s growth skyrocketing. However, as we look forward to seeing who Engelbert’s successor will be, one WNBA legend believes it can’t just be someone whose success is measured in TV deals or revenue.

The Minnesota Lynx are wrapping up the regular season tonight, but not already know who they will face when the playoffs begin this weekend. The team will finish the regular season with their final game against the Indiana Fever at home tonight, but when the playoffs begin Sunday, they will welcome the New York Liberty to town after they secured the eighth seed following their 83-65 loss to the Atlanta Dream. New York intentionally rested Breanna Stewart, then held out key rotation players in...

Allisha Gray scored 24 points, Naz Hillmon added 16 and Atlanta secured the No. 4 seed in the playoffs with an 83-65 victory over the New York Liberty on Wednesday night to close out the regular season for both teams. Atlanta (31-13) will have to wait until Thursday to see if it will host Indiana or Washington in the first round beginning Sunday. The Dream got a scare right before halftime when star Angel Reese took a hit to the face while drawing an offensive foul from Sabrina Ionescu.

Dream star Angel Reese left Wednesday night's game against the Liberty after being struck in the face just before halftime. The Liberty's Jonquel Jones also left the game after suffering a second-half ankle injury.

Paige Bueckers has quietly put together one of the most impressive individual seasons in the WNBA this year, although she hasn’t been one of the MVP candidates as many predicted at the start of the season. The former UConn superstar has been leading the Dallas Wings in points averaged as well as assists, which is certainly impressive.
