The AP All-Rookie team featured the Wings' Azzi Fudd, Chicago Sky's Sydney Taylor, Seattle Storm's Flau'jae Johnson, Liberty's Pauline Astier and Toronto Tempo's Kiki Rice.

Wilson was named the AP's WNBA Player of the Year, while Clark was awarded AP's Comeback Player of the Year and Reese claimed AP's Defensive Player of the Year award.

Clark has led the Fever back to the playoffs with a career-high 22.3 points per game after missing most of last season due to injury, while Reese has averaged a career-high 1.8 steals to go along with her 7.3 defensive rebounds per game.

This marks Wilson's third straight POY award and her fourth overall, beating out Stewart for the most in AP history, according to Feinberg.

Wilson has also earned the WNBA's MVP award for each of the last two seasons and will be a candidate for a third straight win after averaging 26.2 points and 9.4 rebounds for the Aces.

Miles was named AP Rookie of the Year after breaking Clark's rookie points record and helping the Lynx rank as the WNBA's top team.

The Most Improved Player award went to the Wings' Jessica Shepard, while the Valkyries' Janelle Salaün will take home the Sixth Woman of the Year honor.

Shepard was out of the WNBA altogether in 2024 and averaged eight points per game with the Lynx in 2025 before signing last offseason in Dallas, where she has gone on to average a 14.5 points and 11.1 rebounds through 42 games. Salaün has averaged 12.7 points in 40 games coming off the bench with the Valkyries.

Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve capped off a season leading her team to the WNBA's No. 1 seed with her third career Coach of the Year award.

Ballots for the WNBA's award voting were due Friday. The league is preparing to tip off the postseason Sunday with four first-round matchups, starting with a 2 p.m. ET matchup between Stewart and the Liberty and Miles and the Lynx.
