Mystics ride a star trio to the top of the WNBA power rankings

Washington has surged to the top of the WNBA power rankings with a seven-game win streak highlighted by Shakira Austin’s dominant two-way play and Cotie McMahon’s clutch contributions, plus the midseason addition of Betnijah Laney-Hamilton to strengthen the postseason push, all while teams balance load management and roster tweaks ahead of the World Cup.

Plum's Ankle Sprain Tests Sparks' Depth Ahead of Mystics Showdown

Los Angeles Sparks star Kelsey Plum sprained her ankle in practice and will miss at least a week, forcing the team to lean on its depth as they prepare for a clash with the Washington Mystics (and a matchup with the Connecticut Sun). Plum, who leads the league with 26.8 PPG and adds 6.3 assists on high efficiency (58.9% FG, 48.8% 3PT), will be evaluated in a week, prompting teammates like Nneka Ogwumike and Dearica Hamby to step up as Sparks adjust offensively.

Clark's late 3s spark Fever comeback, but defense costs them in OT loss

Caitlin Clark snapped her early shooting slump by drilling five 3s in the fourth quarter to force overtime, finishing with 32 points, but the Fever couldn't contain the Mystics and lost 104-102 as defensive lapses, especially in the paint, were exposed; Clark stressed the need for consistent defense, a point echoed by coach Stephanie White as Indiana searches for balance on both ends.

Kate Martin Hit Free Agency: Potential Landing Spots Include Aces, Mystics, and Fever

Golden State waived Kate Martin on May 7 as rosters tighten, opening the door for several suitors. A reunion with the Las Vegas Aces is plausible, given her previous stint and off-court chemistry; the Washington Mystics could use a 3-and-D wing after Cotie McMahon’s injury; and Indiana Fever could pursue Martin to honor Caitlin Clark friendship, aided by non-guaranteed/development-contract slots. All options hinge on roster fits and contract structure, but a new home for Martin seems likely soon.
