Dallas Wings complete eight-team WNBA playoff picture

The GIST: Atlanta Dream superstar Angel Reese cleaned up the glass on Monday, once again turning rebounding into a personal side hustle. And that’s not the only hot news from this league — here’s the rest of the best from the WNBA.

🪽 Dallas Wings punch playoff ticket, eliminate Portland Fire: Last night’s 96–78 Dallas win over Portland sent the Wings to their first postseason since 2023 and extinguished the Fire’s playoff hopes in one fell swoop. Now sporting the most franchise wins since the team’s relocation to Dallas in 2016, the Wings officially round out the eight-team playoff field.

• And while the teams are set, postseason positioning is very much up for grabs. A mere four games separate the No. 2 seed Golden State Valkyries from the No. 8 Wings, meaning there’s plenty to play for over the next month.

👀 DeWanna Bonner is on the move: The already-eliminated Phoenix Mercury agreed to a buyout with the two-time champ on Monday, allowing Bonner to seek her third career title in what could be her final season. It’s late in the game to make a move, but teams always come calling when you’re a six-time All-Star.

• The Las Vegas Aces felt like a landing spot for the 39-year-old after news of NaLyssa Smith’s injury, but they just don’t have the cap space. Our best guess? The Dream, who need a defense-first wing, or the NY Liberty, who are without Satou Sabally indefinitely. Stay tuned.
