The WNBA season is nearing its midway point, with All-Star festivities scheduled for July 19th in Indianapolis. Teams are competing fiercely for strong positions heading into the break. The Minnesota Lynx currently lead the league and are pursuing their first title since 2017, while the reigning champion New York Liberty faces challenges without Jonquel Jones.

This week's WNBA power rankings highlight several teams: Connecticut Sun secured their third win of the season, fueled by Tina Charles' 29-point performance and rookie Saniya Rivers' 7 assists. They face Los Angeles (7/13) and Indiana (7/15) next. Dallas Wings recently lost momentum after a strong run, suffering two consecutive defeats including a 30-point loss to Phoenix, despite earlier success following the acquisition of Li Yueru. They play Indiana (7/13) and Las Vegas (7/16) next. Los Angeles Sparks are regaining health and competing closely, boasting the high-scoring duo of All-Star Kelsey Plum and Dearica Hamby. They recently challenged both the Liberty and league-leading Lynx. Their upcoming games are against Connecticut (7/13) and Washington (7/15).
