The Washington Mystics entered August 2026 on a season-best four-game winning streak, including a July 31 victory over the Dallas Wings led by Shakira Austin and Kiki Iriafen. As they prepared to host the Wings on August 5, the Mystics held a five-game cushion for the eighth playoff seed. On August 14, the Mystics’ seven-game winning streak was ended by the Las Vegas Aces in an 83-76 loss. The victory officially secured a playoff spot for the Aces, making them the second team in the league to clinch a postseason berth. Jackie Young led the Aces with a season-high 32 points, while A’ja Wilson contributed 15 points. Despite the loss, Shakira Austin recorded a season-best 29 points for Washington, though she briefly left the game in the third quarter due to a potential head injury before returning for the fourth quarter. The Aces' victory also served as their annual Cancer Awareness Game, featuring a ‘Teddy Bear Toss’ to benefit the Cure 4 The Kids Foundation. Following the Aces' win, the Minnesota Lynx defeated Las Vegas 92-87, marking the Lynx's 15th road victory of the season. Olivia Miles led Minnesota with 23 points and eight assists, while Napheesa Collier added 19 points. The result maintained the Lynx's position at the top of the WNBA standings.
