Another week, another exciting slate of WNBA games. All 12 teams have played at least 10 games this season, and there are a few interesting developments in the standings. The Las Vegas Aces sit atop the association, with the Connecticut Sun behind them in second. The Phoenix Mercury have struggled, ranking in the bottom three as of Tuesday. The Seattle Storm managed to stay in the middle of the pack despite dealing with multiple players in COVID-19 protocols.
Off the hardwood, we've seen a variety of stellar fashion choices from plenty of stars across the league. Some players honored celebrities past and present, while others donned clothing from luxury fashion brands. Several players and teams showed support for Mercury star Brittney Griner, who is still detained in Russia after being arrested in February at a Moscow-area airport. The U.S. government considers her to be "wrongfully detained."
This week's best wardrobe selections feature fire jerseys, unique patterns, college hoops teams and more.
Here are some of the best pregame looks across the WNBA:
Evina Westbrook, Minnesota Lynx
Westbrook channeled her inner Ricky Bobby, wearing a quote from the movie "Talladega Nights" on the front.

Wilson's fit ahead of her matchup against the Dallas Wings Sunday was a nod to South Carolina Gamecocks women's basketball coach Dawn Staley. The Aces star rocked Staley's Charlotte Sting jersey from when she played for the WNBA from 1999-2003. Wilson played for Staley from 2014-2018, helping South Carolina win its first national championship in 2017
Michaela Onyenwere, New York Liberty
Before Sunday's game against the Minnesota Lynx, Onyenwere donned a LeBron James edition of historically Black college Florida A&M University's basketball jersey. Nike and FAMU agreed on a six-year partnership in March 2021 that provide the Rattlers with athletic apparel, footwear and equipment across their sports department. The teams are outfitted in uniforms and clothing by James, according to FAMU's website.
