2026 WNBA – Season updates after All‑Star break

Overview

Following the All‑Star break, the Las Vegas Aces secured a 104‑99 victory over the New York Liberty, led by A’ja Wilson’s 33 points. However, the Aces subsequently lost 84‑83 to the Chicago Sky following a last‑second three-pointer by Sydney Taylor. During this period, Breanna Stewart moved into 10th place on the WNBA all-time scoring list, and the league addressed a social media video involving Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers.

The Minnesota Lynx solidified their league-leading position, officially clinching a playoff spot after a 103-90 victory against the Dallas Wings. In that game, Kayla McBride set a WNBA single-game record by making 10 three-pointers while scoring a career-high 43 points. The Lynx, who have won 12 of their last 13 games, enter their upcoming matchup against the Portland Fire as heavy favorites. Rookie Olivia Miles has been a key contributor, averaging 20.0 points and 6.1 assists per game.

In Indiana, the WNBA rescinded a technical foul assessed to Caitlin Clark during a 90-86 victory over the Chicago Sky. The league determined the contact with a baseline official was incidental rather than intentional, preventing an automatic one-game suspension. The game was also marked by the ejection of Chicago’s DiJonai Carrington following a Flagrant 2 foul involving Sophie Cunningham. While Clark is listed as probable for upcoming play despite a season-long back injury, teammate Damiris Dantas remains out for the season following knee surgery.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Wings suffered an injury to All-Star Jessica Shepard, who exited a game against the Lynx with an ankle injury.

Claims

What the coverage asserts, and how many sources carry each claim.

Coverage disagrees

Sources make claims that cannot both be true. CLSTR reports the disagreement; it does not decide who is right.

  • "Jackie Young added 27 points and nine assists for the Aces in the same game."

    vs

    "Jackie Young recorded a career‑high 22 points in the first half."

    Jackie Young cannot have scored exactly 27 points for the game and only 22 points in the first half if the first half points are described as a career-high total for her.
