WNBA Stars' Playoff Push: Who's Hot, Who's Not?

The final day of the 2026 WNBA regular season has arrived, spotlighting players who have elevated their game. Caitlin Clark has been spectacular since the FIBA break, averaging 26.7 points and 9.3 assists, helping the Fever win two of their last three games.

Nneka Ogwumike is preparing to retire after 15 seasons, but not without a strong finish. She has scored at least 17 points in her last six games, contributing to the Sparks' recent success. Rookie Flau'jae Johnson has also shown significant promise in her debut season with the Storm, reaching the 20-point mark four times in her previous six games before scoring 21 in her finale.

Conversely, some players are struggling to find form. Aliyah Boston experienced a quiet period after the FIBA break, though she managed 17 points in a recent win. Courtney Williams and the Minnesota Lynx have faltered, losing three of their last four games, with Williams not scoring efficiently since returning from injury. Veronica Burton's shooting efficiency has dipped recently, shooting 11-of-36 over her past five games, though her facilitation remains strong.
