WNBA 2025

The Indiana Fever beat the Minnesota Lynx, who appear to be down on some of their firepower.

Kelsey MVP Mitchell had 18, Odyssey had 15, Aliyah with 12 and 8 rebounds, Lexie with 10 and 7.

Naw, her personality and attitude wouldn't change.

I could tolerate it if she was Caitlin's teammate. Given how many games I've watched where Fever players don't even try to rebound, we could use some of those Mebounds.

That said, Angel turns the ball over way too much and that would be a glaring problem especially with how much Caitlin also turns the ball over.

Yeah, I think DiJonai's hurt, but Phee's definitely just resting up for the playoffs.

Congrats nonetheless, a W is a W.

Why would you want Indiana to become something you do not like.

let's not forget how many players the Fever also have out of the lineup.

Oh, I haven't forgotten that, I promise you. I was directly responding to what HB said about Minnesota missing some players in that game and simply listed the names of said players and why they were out. Just adding to the discussion, nothing more, nothing less.

Indy's injury situation, which we all obviously know about, was not mentioned in HB's post in question, so I didn't mention it, either. No disrespect was intended.
 
Today is the last day of the regular season. I've watched very little WNBA this year compared to last year. Minnesota has had an incredible season, and I've missed the overwhelming majority of it. I feel kinda bad about that, but I've at least supported the league through my League Pass subscription, a few t-shirts, and simply discussing it with others.

I want to say I'll watch the playoffs, but given this year's pattern so far, I'm gonna say I probably won't. I know that if I don't watch, the games will be right there waiting for me in the WNBA app if I change my mind.
 
I don't normally care much who wins the MVP award, since it's a subjective award and I don't get a vote, but I'm legitimately excited to see who will get it this year.

The debate will likely be intense, and there are plenty of honorable mentions as always, some of whom we've already praised at length. As usual these days, though, it sounds like it's gonna be A'ja or Phee, who are IMHO the two best basketball players in the world, and accordingly, two of the players who could win it pretty much every season.

Phee led Minnesota to a really strong start that culminated in a league record-tying and franchise record-setting 34-10 regular season record. I think A'ja's the best player in the world, and she and Vegas have been nothing short of phenomenal over their league second-best 16-game winning streak, including last night, where Vegas crushed LA behind her 23 points, 19 boards, and 4 blocks. Goodness gracious.

I don't know who will win the award, but man, whoever gets it will be fully deserving. Well done, ladies!

It's going to be A'ja or Phee. It SHOULD be Kelsey Mitchell, but she plays for Indiana so that's unacceptable.

Take Kelsey out and MVP is A'ja Wilson and it's not even remotely close. She proved that she's the best player in the history of the sport, and again it's not even close.

Not gonna debate it at length since neither of us get a vote, and we'll see who the sportswriters choose, but I think it is close. Like I said, in my eyes, they're the two best players in the world (and yes, A'ja is #1), and both have had MVP-worthy seasons. I think Phee made a stronger case in the first half of the season, and A'ja made a stronger case in the second half.

I'm most excited to see if Veronica Burton and Natalie Nakase will win Most Improved Player and Coach of the Year, respectively. Surely Golden State's historic Cinderella season has to be acknowledged in some capacity. ^_^
 
I don't know of anyone happier than Sophie playing the game in the WNBA.
 
ESPN's going with A'ja in their final MVP poll/group discussion, 3-1. As was the case with the last one of these pieces I posted, I don't have a problem with any of these choices.

Indiana bites the dust to a good Atlanta team in game 1 of the Playoffs despite Kelsey MVP scoring 27 points. The absences of the players out for the year, with injuries, especially CC and Sophie, are hurting the Fever.
 
My girl Veronica Burton, the starting PG on my All-Hustle Team, has won this year's Most Improved Player award! 🥳

She finished tied for third with Skylar Diggins in assists per game this season, behind Alyssa Thomas and Courtney Williams. Little did I know that she also became the first player in WNBA history to have at least 24 points and 14 assists with no turnovers in a game against Phoenix last month! I remember seeing the box score from that game and giving her props, but I must have completely glossed over the fact that she didn't turn the ball over. That's nuts!

I was hyped for her when she got picked up by Golden State in the expansion draft and knew that she could shine if given playing time, but she shattered even my expectations this season.

Congrats, VB! ❤️

Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cuningham just need to focus on a good off-season recovery and returning next year better than ever.

A lot of gymnastic stretches and yoga contorionist postion training would help Sophie's leg injuries. She just needs to lean on the fan base for encouragement as the photos are posted to demonstrate her progress.
