A’ja Wilson continued to set records and Kamilla Cardoso set a return date. Get caught up on that and all the Gamecocks in the WNBA.
Atlanta Dream (2-2)Laeticia Amihere (3 games, 2.0 minutes, 0.7 pts, 1.3 rebs)Amihere got some playing time last week due to foul trouble but was back at the end of the bench this week.
Last week:Vs Dallas (83-78 win): DNP-CDVs Minnesota (92-79 loss): 1 minute, no stats
Allisha Gray (4 games (4 starts), 31.8 mpg, 15.5 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 3.5 apg, 1.3 spg)Atlanta has been hot and cold overall, and so has Gray. It’s early and the Dream are still figuring out how to play with some new pieces like Tina Charles.
Last week:Vs Dallas (83-78 win): 35 minutes*, 21 points, 3 assists, 3 steals, 2 reboundsVs Minnesota (92-79 loss): 30 minutes*, 7 points, 3 assists, rebound

Chicago Sky (2-2)Kamilla Cardoso (Preseason stats: 1 game, 13 minutes, 6 pts, 4 rebs, 2 blocks, assist, steal)Cardoso has yet to make her season debut due to a shoulder injury. She has targeted June 1 against Indiana as her return date. That would make a fun matchup against Aliyah Boson.
Last week:At New York (90-81 win): DNPVs Connecticut (86-82 loss): DNP
This week’s schedule:Tuesday, May 28 vs Seattle (8:00 ET, League Pass)Thursday, May 30 vs Los Angeles (8:00 ET, League Pass)Saturday, June 1 at Indiana (Noon ET, ESPN)
Connecticut Sun (5-0)Ty Harris (5 games (5 starts), 30.8 mpg, 11.8 ppg, 2.8 apg, 47.6 3P%)Harris seems to have found a perfect home, and she has been a great compliment to the Sun’s stars. Harris hit a key basket against Chicago and has been a big reason Connecticut has the league’s best record.
Last week:At Indiana (88-84 win): 30 minutes*, 16 points, 2 assistsVs Minnesota (83-82 win): 38 minutes*, 7 points, 3 assists, 2 reboundsAt Chicago (86-82 win): 32 minutes*, 15 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, steal

Indiana Fever (1-6)Aliyah Boston (7 games (7 starts), 27.6 mpg, 10.1 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 2.0 apg, 1.1 bpg)The WNBA did Indiana no favors with a brutal early schedule. Caitlin Clark is clearly learning (and improving) on the fly, and while she learns, players like Boston have seen their numbers drop. There was optimism that Indiana could contend for a playoff spot, but the Fever may be in too big of a hole for that to happen.
Last week:Vs Connecticut (88-84 loss): 30 minutes*, 10 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 assistsAt Seattle (85-83 loss): 15 minutes*, 4 points, 3 rebounds, assist, blockAt Los Angeles (78-73 win): 29 minutes*, 17 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 stealsAt Las Vegas (99-80 loss): 26 minutes*, 12 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists
Victaria Saxton (2 games, 3.0 mpg, 0.5 rpg)Saxton finally got a statistic with a rebound. She isn’t playing much as Indiana tries to figure out its roster on the fly.
Last week:Vs Connecticut (88-84 loss): DNP-CDAt Seattle (85-83 loss): DNP-CDAt Los Angeles (78-73 win): DNP-CDAt Las Vegas (99-80 loss): 2 minutes, rebound

Las Vegas Aces (3-1)A’ja Wilson (4 games (4 starts), 32.5 mpg, 25.5 ppg, 12.8 rpg, 2.5 apg, 2.3 bpg, 1.3 spg)With her monster double-double against Indiana, Wilson became the first player in league history with over 100 points and 50 rebounds in the first four games of the season. The loss to Phoenix was baffling, but Wilson is playing at a different level than everyone else.
Last week: Vs Phoenix (98-88 loss): 32 minutes*, 21 points, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 assistsVs Indiana (99-80 win): 31 minutes*, 29 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists, steal, block

Los Angeles Sparks (1-4)Zia Cooke (5 games, 8.6 mpg, 2.6 ppg, 1.2 rpg, 0.8 apg)Cooke’s playing time has fluctuated as the Sparks try to figure out a rotation with rookies Cameron Brink and Rickea Jackson. Cooke has provided energy when she has played.
Last week:Vs Washington (70-68 win): 3 minutes, assistVs Indiana (78-73 loss): 5 minutes, 4 pointsVs Dallas (84-83 loss): 15 minutes, 4 points, rebound, assist
This week’s schedule:Tuesday, May 28 at Indiana (7:00 ET, NBA TV/League Pass)Thursday, May 30 at Chicago (8:00 ET, League Pass)Sunday, June 2 at Phoenix (6:00 ET, League Pass)
Phoenix Mercury (3-2)Mikiah Herbert Harrigan (5 games, 4.8 mpg, 1.0 ppg, 1.0 rpg)Herbert Harrigan finally got her first basket of the season against Washington. She isn’t playing a lot, but seems to have found a role in Phoenix.
Last week:At Las Vegas (98-88 win): 4 minutes, 2 reboundsVs Washington (83-80 win): 4 minutes, 5 pointsVs Dallas (107-92 loss): 1 minute, rebound
This week’s schedule:Tuesday, May 28 at Connecticut (7:00 ET, CBS Sports Network)Wednesday, May 29 at New York (7:00 ET, CBS Sports Network)Friday, May 31 at Minnesota (9:30 ET, Ion)Sunday, June 2 vs Los Angeles (6:00 ET, League Pass)
UnsignedBrea Beal Las Vegas cut Beal early in training camp.
Alaina Coates (Preseason stats with Seattle: 2 games, 8.0 minutes, 3.0 pts, 1.0 reb, 1.0 block) Coates got a long look in Seattle but didn’t fit in with the Storm’s rebuild. She’s got lots of experience, though, and will probably be one of the first calls for any team that needs post depth once the season starts.
Kaela Davis (Preseason stats with Seattle: 2 games, 14.0 minutes, 1.5 points, 3.5 rebs)Davis was hoping to show she was fully recovered from an Achilles injury, but she didn’t do enough to convince Seattle.
Destanni Henderson (Preseason stats with Atlanta: 2 games, 19.0 minutes, 3.5 pts, 6.0 assists, 2.0 rebs, 1.0 steal)Henderson was signed after training camp started and put up nice numbers in Atlanta’s two preseason games. Whenever Henny gets a shot, she contributes, but she can’t seem to stick anywhere.
