As the WNBA regular season approaches its break for the FIBA Women’s World Cup, ESPN unveils its third set of player rankings this season, following the preseason and midseason editions. This latest update reflects significant changes driven by injuries, with some players returning to action and others dropping off the list. Shifts in team dynamics and evolving roles have also caused notable movement up and down the rankings.
The Top 50 measures current performance in the 2026 season rather than career accomplishments. With the eight playoff teams now set, some players have much to anticipate in the postseason, while others will focus on maximizing their remaining regular-season games and preparing for next year.
(All statistics are through Tuesday’s games.)
Center | 6-foot-4
July rank: 1
2026 stats: 26.0 PPG, 9.5 RPG, 2.0 BPG
Wilson leads the WNBA in scoring and blocks, ranking third in rebounding. She also tops the league in win shares (7.7) and player efficiency rating (31.8). Statistically, she has done everything necessary to be on track for her fifth MVP award. Although the defending champion Aces are not the top team in the league right now, Wilson remains the top player. — Michael Voepel
Guard | 6-foot
July rank: 3
2026 stats: 22.1 PPG, 8.3 APG, 3.8 RPG
Clark ranks third in the league in points per game and first in assists (tied with Alyssa Thomas). Her presence has elevated teammates Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston to career-best seasons. Although her recent streak ended, Clark previously tied her own WNBA record with six consecutive games of 20-plus points and five-plus assists. She also set a career high with eight 3-pointers in a single game last week, surpassing Diana Taurasi for second place in WNBA history for most career 3-pointers made within a player’s first three seasons. — Kareem Copeland

2026 stats: 20.8 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 1.4 BPG
While the Liberty have underperformed as a team this season, Stewart has continued to excel individually and could finish top-five in MVP voting. The three-time WNBA champion is doing it all for New York, averaging her highest points per game since her last MVP season and ranking fifth in the league in scoring. Though her 3-point shooting remains inconsistent, Stewart has been dominant inside the paint (a career-high 56% of her points come from there) and at the free throw line (27.8%). — Alexa Philippou
Guard | 5-foot-10
July rank: 6
2026 stats: 19.7 PPG, 6.2 APG, 4.6 RPG
The No. 2 draft pick continues to improve as the season progresses despite an already impressive start. She ranks eighth in the league in points per game and seventh in assists while shooting 49.5% from the field and 39.7% from 3-point range. She has scored the fifth-most points by a rookie in league history and has recorded 17 20-point games this season for the league’s No. 1 team. — Copeland

Bueckers has established herself as one of the league’s top guards this season. Her numbers have dipped slightly since returning from the All-Star break, but she delivered standout performances recently, including 32 points in three quarters against Seattle on Sunday and a 22-point, 11-assist double-double against Portland on Tuesday. With fellow No. 1 pick Azzi Fudd out for the season, Bueckers will shoulder even more responsibility as Dallas aims to complete its best regular season and prepare for its first playoff appearance since 2023. — Philippou

2026 stats: 18.8 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 6.6 APG
The Aces have lost only three games when Young scores 20 or more points. When she scores fewer than 20, they have lost nine. In the 26-13 Aces’ other loss, Young rested and did not play. This demonstrates how vital she is to Las Vegas’s success. Her averages for scoring and assists are career highs, and her rebounding average matches her career best. — Voepel

2026 stats: 18.1 PPG, 7.4 RPG, 50.7% FG
Collier is coming off major surgeries on both ankles, but her performance has been utterly dominant in the 11 games since her season debut on July 22. She has been efficient, shooting better than 50% from the field and 47% from 3-point range, the fifth-best shooting mark among players who have attempted at least 35 treys since her return. The scariest part for opponents? Collier told ESPN she still isn’t at 100% and has another level to reach before the postseason. — Kendra Andrews
Guard | 5-foot-8
July rank: 11
2026 stats: 24.9 PPG, 2.8 APG, 51.0% FG
Mitchell has established herself as the best scoring guard in the league this season, as no defender has been able to stay in front of her. Her 23 consecutive games of 20-plus points broke Wilson’s record for the longest such streak in WNBA history. Mitchell is nearly impossible to keep from getting to the basket, and her 45.5% 3-point shooting is the highest among the league’s top 50 scorers. — Copeland

Kelsey Mitchell breaks WNBA record with 21 straight games with 20-plus points
Guard | 6-foot
July rank: 7
2026 stats: 19.4 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 2.6 APG
Gray is having a career-best season. She is shooting 46.1% from the field, her third-most efficient season. The All-Star is also attempting over one more shot per game than ever before. — Andrews
Forward/center | 6-foot-5
July rank: 15
2026 stats: 17.0 PPG, 8.4 RPG, 3.0 APG
Often overshadowed by her flashier teammates Clark and Mitchell, Boston is the steady, consistent foundation for the Fever and the anchor of their defense. Her points per game are a career high, and she has developed into a legitimate 3-point threat, shooting 41.7%. The four-time All-Star ranks fourth in the league in efficiency (22.3). — Copeland
Forward | 6-foot-1
July rank: 10
2026 stats: 14.8 PPG, 8.3 APG, 7.7 RPG
Thomas’s two-way game remains among the most elite in the WNBA. She is tied with Caitlin Clark for first in the league in assists, while also averaging 7.7 rebounds, 6.0 of which come on the defensive end, and 1.4 steals. Both of those defensive figures rank in the top 10 among forwards. — Andrews
Guard | 6-foot-2
July rank: 8
2026 stats: 18.2 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 2.4 SPG
Already one of the sharpest shooters in the league, Howard is posting career highs in field goal percentage (41.2%) and 3-point shooting (36.7%). However, her improvement on defense has elevated her to a two-way threat. She has nearly doubled her previous career high in steals while also tallying nearly one block per game. — Andrews
Guard | 5-foot-8
July rank: 2
2026 stats: 21.5 PPG, 5.4 APG, 51.9 FG%
Plum is the most difficult player to rank. She had a brilliant first 12 games of the season for Los Angeles, averaging 23.9 points and 6.4 assists. However, a leg injury sidelined her for six weeks, and she was traded to Phoenix on Aug. 2. She played four games with the Mercury, sat out three due to her leg, and then returned Tuesday. She has averaged 15.8 points and 2.8 assists in five games with Phoenix. When healthy, Plum is a top-10 player, but health has been her biggest obstacle in 2026. — Voepel
Forward | 6-foot-3
July rank: 13
2026 stats: 16.1 PPG, 12.4 RPG, 1.8 SPG
The league’s top rebounder, Reese is one of only two players averaging a double-double this season. She made history on Aug. 20 as the first player in WNBA history to record at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and three steals without missing a shot from the field (9-of-9). Then Reese broke two records Tuesday in Atlanta’s win over Los Angeles, setting a WNBA single-game record with 26 rebounds and reaching 458 rebounds on the season, seven more than A’ja Wilson’s single-season mark set in 2024. — Andrews
Center | 6-foot-5
July rank: 29
2026 stats: 16.9 PPG, 9.5 RPG, 1.4 BPG
Austin is firmly in the Most Improved Player conversation, posting career numbers across the board. The Mystics showed their faith in her with a three-year, $3.57 million deal this past offseason, and she has rewarded them with 17 double-doubles while ranking 15th in scoring, third (alongside A’ja Wilson) in rebounds, and ninth (alongside Breanna Stewart) in blocks. Austin has showcased a versatile offensive game, adding 3-point range (34.7%) while making a case for all-defensive consideration. She posted a career-high 31 points last week, recording the first 30-point, 10-rebound game of her career. — Copeland

Forward | 6-foot-4

2026 stats: 14.4 PPG, 11.1 RPG, 5.0 APG
Shepard has been a revelation for the Wings, enjoying a career season with 21 double-doubles (second in the league) and a league-best four triple-doubles. August was somewhat up and down, compounded by a brief absence due to an ankle injury. Nevertheless, her offensive production, including her facilitating prowess, will be critical for Dallas to finish the regular season strong. — Philippou
Guard | 5-foot-11
July rank: 22
2026 stats: 12.1 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 6.8 APG
Gray, who turns 34 in October, continues to perform at a high level. She leads the Aces in minutes per game (33.0) and has appeared in every game but one. Her current assists average is the second-best of her career, as is her free throw percentage (93.3%). While Gray’s playmaking remains her most lethal weapon, she can still hit dagger shots to win games. — Voepel
Center | 6-foot-6
July rank: 16
2026 stats: 14.6 PPG, 9.2 RPG, 1.1 BPG
An assertive Jones, the MVP of New York’s 2024 WNBA title run, historically bodes well for the Liberty. In her most recent outing, Saturday against the Fever, the 6-foot-6 center set the tone for New York on both ends with 17 points and seven rebounds in 15 first-half minutes, a particularly welcome sight after she exited the first quarter of the previous game due to a tweaked ankle. She has 16 double-doubles this season, ranking sixth in the league, and continues to be a matchup nightmare with her 38.5% 3-point shooting. — Philippou
Guard | 6-foot-1
July rank: 18
2026 stats: 16.9 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 4.3 APG
There has been no sophomore slump for the two-time All-Star, who has developed into one of the top perimeter defenders in the league. Selfless almost to a fault, Citron has increased her scoring and assists in her second year and has been the tip of the spear on a defensive unit that ranks second in scoring defense and defensive rating. She is one of only two players in the league averaging 16.0-plus points, 4.0-plus assists, 1.0-plus steals, and fewer than 3.0 turnovers per game. — Copeland
Guard | 5-foot-11
July rank: 23
2026 stats: 18.1 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 2.1 APG
McBride is in the conversation for her first All-WNBA selection with career-high averages in points and field goal percentage (46.6%). She is the No. 11 scorer in the WNBA this season. The five-time All-Star is averaging 2.9 3-point field goals per game, fourth in the league, while her 41.9% 3-point shooting ranks in the top five among those averaging more than two 3-pointers per game. McBride scored a career-high 43 points on Aug. 9 and set the single-game WNBA record with 10 3-point field goals. — Copeland
Forward | 5-foot-11
July rank: 26
2026 stats: 14.4 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 1.7 SPG
Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase described Williams’s defensive abilities as “cat-like” in how she moves swiftly and precisely to swipe and deflect the ball from opponents. Williams ranks seventh in the league in steals, fourth in defensive win shares per 40 minutes, and fourth in individual player defensive rating. Her improved offense has elevated her game to another level this year, as her points per game average is a career and team high. — Andrews
Guard | 6-foot-1
July rank: 12
2026 stats: 20.9 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 1.9 APG
Copper is in the midst of one of the best scoring seasons of her career, averaging just 0.2 points fewer than her career high. Even after Phoenix acquired Kelsey Plum at the trade deadline, and despite the Mercury being eliminated from playoff contention, Copper’s efficiency and impact have remained high. — Andrews

Ionescu had a difficult start to the year, as injuries sidelined her for all but one game in the first month of the season. Even after her return, she told ESPN recently, she was still dealing with pain and trying to figure out how she fit into New York’s new system. She found more of a groove throughout July, but is currently in a shooting slump, hitting 20% or fewer of her 3-pointers in six consecutive games. For the Liberty to make a deep postseason run after such a rocky regular season, they will need a productive Ionescu. — Philippou
Guard | 5-foot-8
July rank: 14
2026 stats: 14.4 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 4.3 APG
Williams hasn’t really dropped in the rankings since midseason as much as other players have surged past her. From a team perspective, she is delivering what the Lynx need. Her scoring pace has slowed somewhat in July and August compared to May and June, though she has had some big scoring games, including 27 points in a win over Indiana on Aug. 2. She ranks second on the Lynx in assists and third in rebounds. Her value was also evident when the Lynx struggled to score in a loss to Golden State while she was out on Aug. 24 due to a foot injury. It was the first game she had missed in three seasons with Minnesota. — Voepel
Forward | 6-foot-2
July rank: 20
2026 stats: 16.8 PPG, 8.9 RPG, 2.9 APG
Ogwumike announced on Aug. 19 that she will retire from the WNBA at season’s end, so there is only a short time left to watch her play as the Sparks have been eliminated from the playoffs. However, we have witnessed 15 seasons of excellence from the 2012 No. 1 pick. She is concluding her career at an All-Star level at age 36, leading the Sparks in scoring and rebounding. — Voepel
Guard | 5-foot-11
July rank: 21
2026 stats: 20.8 PPG, 3.7 APG, 38.5% 3FG
Mabrey has been a bright spot for a team ravaged by injuries that recently ended a 12-game losing streak. With the guard averaging a career best in scoring (tied for fifth-most in the league), she earned her first All-Star nod and inserted her name into the Most Improved Player conversation. However, the injury bug has affected her as well, and Mabrey will be out for at least a few weeks due to an adductor injury. Tempo coach Sandy Brondello said it is possible she will not return this season. — Philippou
Forward | 6-foot-2
July rank: 24
2026 stats: 15.0 PPG, 7.7 RPG, 59.0% FG
Howard continues to have one of the best seasons of her career on both ends of the court, earning her first All-Star selection since 2022. Her rebounding average is the second-highest of her career and ranks 13th in the league. Howard is in the Defensive Player of the Year conversation, ranking fifth in steals (1.7) and defensive win shares (2.5) as the top post defender on a top-three defense. — Copeland
Forward | 6-foot-3
July rank: 25
2026 stats: 15.3 PPG, 9.3 RPG, 50.6% FG
Iriafen is the third player in league history to post at least 20 point-rebound double-doubles before her 23rd birthday, joining Tina Charles and Lauren Jackson. The two-time All-Star ranks 21st in points per game, fifth in rebounds per game, and is 0.7 rebounds shy of becoming the third player in the league to average a double-double. Her 50.6% field goal shooting ranks fourth among the top 22 scorers in the league. — Copeland
Guard | 5-foot-9
July rank: 35
2026 stats: 12.5 PPG, 5.6 APG. 3.5 RPG
Burton is averaging almost one point more than she did in her breakout season (2025), and doing so on career-best shooting: 43.1% overall and 37.0% from 3-point range, all while taking 0.6 more shots per game (9.4 field goal attempts per game). — Andrews

July rank: 39
2026 stats: 17.0 PPG, 8.9 RPG, 1.5 BPG
Malonga, the No. 2 pick in the 2025 draft, was an All-Star in July and has been one of the bright spots in a challenging season for the Storm. The 20-year-old is a key part of their future, having made significant strides from her rookie season. Despite sitting out eight games between May 20 and June 3 due to concussion protocol, Malonga has become the Storm’s leader in points, rebounds, and blocks, and is a contender for Most Improved Player. — Voepel

2026 stats: 15.8 PPG, 2.1 RPG, 6.3 APG
Leite was the No. 9 pick by Dallas in the 2024 draft but did not play in the WNBA that season. She went to Golden State in the 2025 expansion draft, then to Portland in the 2026 expansion draft. She has been the Fire’s best player this season, leading Portland in scoring and assists. The 22-year-old from France is another contender for Most Improved Player. — Voepel

July rank: 28
2026 stats: 15.2 PPG, 3.2 APG, 1.0 SPG
If the Wings want to make noise in the playoffs, especially now that Fudd is out, they will need a productive, hot-shooting Ogunbowale. For example, her 25-point second half helped the Wings take down the Fever at home last week. Her efficiency has improved over the course of the season (46.6% post All-Star versus 36.9% before), though she is shooting just 26.0% on 3-pointers in August. — Philippou
Guard | 5-foot-6
July rank: 36
2026 stats: 11.5 PPG, 7.4 APG, 3.8 RPG
Canada ranks second in the league with 2.0 steals per game and is one of the top defensive point guards, with two All-Defensive Team selections on her resume. She has a chance to lead the league in steals per game for the third time in her career. The two-time champion’s assists rank third, and she is shooting a career-high 43.1% from the field. Canada’s 3-point shooting has also ticked up to the second-highest of her career (29.2%). — Copeland
Forward | 6-foot-3
July rank: 33
2026 stats: 14.8 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 2.5 APG
In her 12th WNBA season and fourth with the Sparks, Hamby has been a dependable and durable player. If she finishes at 55% from the field, it will be the second-highest shooting percentage of her career, following last season’s 57.2%. Hamby is signed with the Sparks for the next two years, so her veteran presence should be important as the franchise rebuilds following Nneka Ogwumike’s retirement at the end of this season. — Voepel
Forward | 6-foot-2

Salaun is attempting nearly two more 3-pointers per game than she did last year, with her 6.2 attempts ranking in the top 10 in the WNBA. Her sharpshooting has become a crucial element of the Valkyries’ offense: she shoots a team-best 39% from 3-point range among players attempting more than one trey per game, and she is second on the team in scoring. — Andrews
Guard | 5-foot-8
July rank: 44
2026 stats: 15.4 PPG, 2.7 RPG, 4.8 APG
After serving as a reserve for the past two seasons in Minnesota, Hiedeman moved to a starting role in Seattle and is averaging career highs in points, rebounds, and assists. She has been dealing with a shoulder injury late in August, and the Storm have the league’s worst record. However, Hiedeman could be a veteran part of an improved team next year alongside Seattle’s young talent. — Voepel
Center | 6-foot-7
July rank: 40
2026 stats: 14.9 PPG, 8.9 RPG, 1.5 BPG
Cardoso’s upward trajectory has continued with career-high averages in points, rebounds, blocks, field goal percentage, and free throw percentage. The blocks rank fourth in the league and the rebounds rank eighth. She ranks 14th in efficiency, and her play is the biggest indicator of the Sky’s success. Cardoso set a league record for the most field goals (13) without a miss while scoring a career-high 30 points in late June. — Copeland
Forward | 6-foot-4
July rank: Not ranked (injured)
2026 stats: 10.7 PPG, 1.2 SPG, 44.6% 3FG
New York sorely missed Fiebich during her seven weeks sidelined by a foot injury. She showed in her return Saturday exactly the type of impact she can have, finishing with 20 points, five rebounds, five assists, and slowing down Caitlin Clark (five points on 2-for-7 shooting) when serving as the Indiana guard’s primary defender. It seems any sort of deep playoff run for the Liberty would require Fiebich’s availability; they are 11-4 when she plays and 12-11 without her. — Philippou

With guard Chennedy Carter departing after only 13 games, the Aces needed another reliable double-digit scorer, and Smith has provided that. She has built on last season, when she averaged 8.2 points and 5.3 rebounds in 27 games for Las Vegas after being traded from Dallas on June 30, 2025. The concern now, however, is that Smith was injured Sunday and her status going forward is unknown. — Voepel

The undrafted guard would be in the Rookie of the Year conversation if Olivia Miles were not the far-and-away leader for the award. Among rookies, Taylor trails only Miles in points per game despite ranking 12th in minutes per game. Taylor has developed into the top isolation player on the Sky roster and has become adept at late-game situations, including hitting winning shots against the Valkyries and Aces. — Copeland

After seven seasons in Minnesota, Carleton was the No. 1 pick in the expansion draft by Portland. While that kept the native Canadian from going to the other 2026 expansion team in Toronto, Carleton has made the most of her time with the Fire. She ranks second on the team in scoring and rebounding, plus is Portland’s top 3-point shooter with a career-high 102 made 3-pointers (2.8 per game). — Voepel

Even with Ionescu back in the lineup for the Liberty, Astier continues to be one of the more impactful rookies in the league this season, showcasing poise with timely plays in New York’s big win over the Fever on Saturday. She particularly shines with her ability to get downhill, as about 63% of her points come from the paint, and she is shooting an efficient 60.5% from inside the 3-point arc. — Philippou

Burrell is one of several contenders for Most Improved Player. The No. 9 pick in 2022, Burrell has spent her career with the Sparks and is having her best season. She is averaging more than 10 additional minutes per game compared to any previous season, and for the first time is averaging double-figure scoring. Burrell is a restricted free agent in 2027, so it remains to be seen if she stays with the Sparks as they rebuild. — Voepel

Johannes had a strong start to the season. In May, she averaged 11.9 points and shot 43.3% from 3-point range, though she has been more inconsistent since then. Still, this is one of the best seasons of her career, and when she is hitting her shots, the way she did earlier this month when she made seven 3-pointers in the Liberty’s 40-point win over the shorthanded Aces, there are few players more enjoyable to watch. — Philippou

Lacan is not the flashiest player, but with her playmaking and two-way play, it is hard to overstate how much she affects things on the court. It is no coincidence that all but one of the Sun’s wins this season came after she arrived from her overseas commitments. Lacan, who leads the Sun in minutes per game (28.4), will also miss the next four games for Connecticut as she prepares with the French national team for the World Cup. — Philippou

In the biggest role of her young career, Sabally has been productive for the Tempo when on the court; her 12.3 points per game are more than double her previous best scoring average. Her availability is the issue, as it often has been during her career, as she has appeared in only 24 of Toronto’s 37 games. Sabally was coming off a 12-point, 12-rebound, four-steal, and three-assist performance against Atlanta when she sustained a calf injury against Dallas earlier this month, and has now been ruled out for a few weeks. — Philippou

A late addition to the roster, Cloud has been one of the most valuable players in Chicago because of her play and veteran leadership for an injury-laden group. She remains one of the best defenders in the league and helped steady things after Chicago lost Rickea Jackson and Skylar Diggins to injury. Her shooting percentages are among the biggest criticisms of the three-time All-Defensive selection, but Cloud has posted a career high from the field (48.3%) and her second-best 3-point percentage (35.2%). — Copeland

Hillmon has navigated injuries (shoulder and hamstring) for the first time in her pro career, resulting in a slight drop in production. However, the reigning Sixth Player of the Year believes she is playing with more decisiveness. After working on her shot with coach Karl Smesko last season, she is thinking less about what she is supposed to be doing on the court, which has allowed her game to come naturally. — Andrews

Rice, the No. 6 pick in April’s draft, had a strong start with the expansion Tempo, but an ankle sprain on June 3 sidelined her after 10 games. She returned July 28 and has played every game since. Rice has hit her season high of 19 points four times and has recorded at least five assists in five games. She should be an important part of the Tempo as the franchise grows. — Voepel

The No. 8 pick in the 2026 draft, Johnson has had a solid rookie season, starting every game in which she has played. She is the Storm’s third-highest scorer and leads them in steals (1.4 per game). Two areas she will focus on improving for the 2027 season are her overall (39.2%) and 3-point (28.3%) shooting. — Voepel
