Vets Wilson, Stewart headline youth-infused All-WNBA teams

A'ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart led the 2026 All-WNBA teams as the senior members in what turned out to be a youth movement among honorees. Wilson, the 2026 MVP, was named to the first team for the sixth time and Stewart, a former two-time MVP, made her seventh appearance. They are joined by Indiana Fever teammates Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell, both named to the first team for the second time in their respective careers. Minnesota Lynx guard Olivia Miles, who was named Rookie of the Year, earned the distinction in her first year. Wilson, Mitchell and Clark represent the top three scorers in the league in points per game; Stewart was No. 7 and Miles finished eighth. Mitchell set the WNBA single-season total points record, but played in three more regular-season games than Wilson. Clark was the 2026 assists champion while Miles ranked seventh. Wilson finished fifth in the league in rebounds per game. Atlanta Dream teammates Angel Reese and Rhyne Howard earned their first All-WNBA honors with second-team nods. Washington Mystics center Shakira Austin also received her first all-league selection after posting a career year. Guards Jackie Young of the Las Vegas Aces and Paige Bueckers of the Dallas Wings were also named to the second team for the third and second time, respectively. Reese led the league in rebounding and was one of two players to average a double-double while Austin was the No. 4 rebounder. Bueckers ended the season ranked fifth in points per game while Young was tenth. The pair flipped in assists per game as Young ranked No. 5 and Bueckers was No. 8.
