WNBA MVP race rankings: A'ja Wilson vs. Olivia Miles debate is on with Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers lurking originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Award season is fast approaching in the WNBA. With a little more than one month left in the season, now is the time for the league's greatest talents to play for the sport's finest pieces of hardware.
No accolade glistens as brightly as the MVP. A'ja Wilson has had something of a stranglehold on the prize in recent years, capturing four in the past six years. A fifth looks on the horizon, although she's facing strong competition from a handful of notable youngsters, namely Olivia Miles and Caitlin Clark.
Recent history tells us that MVP races can be difficult to predict. Wilson beat Breanna Stewart by eight first-place votes in 2022. Stewart won the award in 2023 despite earning fewer first-place votes than Alyssa Thomas, while Wilson stormed away with the prize after a late-season surge last year. While the calendar is shrinking, votes haven't yet been cast. Surprises could be on the way, especially if someone further down the rankings makes a splash.
With that, here's a look at what the MVP ladder looks like heading into the stretch run.
