The Commisioners Cup was held this week in the USB Arena between the New York Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx. The Lynx won the contest by a score of 94 to 89.The Lynx's leading scorer was Bridget Carleton with23 points. Breann stewart led the Liberty with 23.Each player on the Lynx recieved around $40,000 for being on the winning team. Napheesa Collier was named MVP.
The WNBA All Star Voting is taking place right now. So far,the leader in votes is A'ia Wilson with over 200,000 votes. Since Wilson and 11 other players have been selected to the USA Olympic Team,they are automatically All Stars.Voting by the fans closes on June 29th. To obtain one of the remaining roster spots,the fans votes will account for 50% ,with the media and the players accounting for 25% each.
The teams will be designated as Team USA and Team WNBA. The 5 players I think should be on the team are Jonquel Jones,Dijonai Carrington,Angel Reese,Caiylin Clark and Arike Ogunbowale. Reese and Clark should be in the game because they are having good seasons and would bring more attention to the contest. I envision Team USA as a 6.5 favorite over Team WNBA.
The hottest teams in the W right now are the Liberty,Lynx, the Phoenix Mercury and the Seattle Storm over their last 10 games. The coldest team is the Los Angeles Sparks who have lost 6 straight.and the Dallas Wing who are 1-9 in their last 10 games.
