- WNBAWNBA Trade Deadline Shakes Up Playoff RaceKelsey Plum Trade Steals the Show—But Was It Worth It? The WNBA trade deadline delivered its biggest splash with Kelsey Plum landing in Phoenix, but the Mercury’s gamble is already drawing side-eye. Plum’s a bucket-getter—career 17.5 PPG, 4.5 APG—but the Mercury sent three first-round picks to LA for a rental. That’s a haul for a player who might bolt in free agency next year. The Sparks? They’re rebuilding, and those picks could be gold. Grade for Phoenix: C+ (if she stays) / F (if she walks). Playoff Pushes Heat Up Lynx (24-6) vs. Fever (19-10): Minnesota’s rolling with a nine-game win streak, but Indiana’s hot too (five straight). Caitlin Clark’s snub from an MVP graphic still stings, but she’s got the Fever in the hunt. Bet the under—these teams play slow (Lynx rank 11th in pace). Napheesa Collier Watch: The Lynx are standing pat, but if they flip her for assets, the deadline gets wild. For now, they’re all-in on a title run.
