Overview
- The WNBA announced its 2026 All‑WNBA First and Second Teams on Oct. 24, naming Caitlin Clark, Olivia Miles, Kelsey Mitchell, Breanna Stewart and A’ja Wilson to the First Team and Shakira Austin, Paige Bueckers, Rhyne Howard, Angel Reese and Jackie Young to the Second Team.
- Kelsey Mitchell finished the season with a record single‑season 1,086 points and 135 three‑pointers, setting multiple WNBA marks and positioning her as the top unrestricted free agent this offseason.
- Caitlin Clark returned to full health and averaged about 22.3 points and 8.3 assists, and she is now eligible for an EPIC extension that could shape the Fever’s long‑term payroll and roster makeup.
- Indiana’s front office moved quickly into change before the offseason, with president Kelly Krauskopf stepping down and general manager Amber Cox fired, leaving the franchise to make rapid decisions on contracts and trades.
- Olivia Miles capped a breakout rookie season by making the First Team and winning Rookie of the Year, a development that, together with strong corporate and fan reactions, will sharpen player market values and negotiating leverage around the league.
