Lynx Lead a Surprising WNBA Start as Contenders Shuffle
Three weeks into the WNBA season, the Minnesota Lynx sit atop the standings at 5-2, buoyed by Olivia Miles and smart signings, with the Las Vegas Aces (4-3) and Golden State Valkyries (5-2) close behind. Atlanta Dream (4-2) and Dallas Wings (5-3) occupy the upper tier, while Indiana Fever (4-3) and Portland Fire (5-3) show promise from young rosters. The rest of the league has been inconsistent—New York Liberty and Toronto Tempo sit at 4-4, but injuries and coaching look to shape outcomes, and Los Angeles Sparks (3-3), Chicago Sky (3-4), Washington Mystics (3-3), Seattle Storm (3-5), Phoenix Mercury (2-6), and Connecticut Sun (1-8) are still chasing rhythm, with Connecticut hopeful Leila Lacan’s return offering a spark.
