Dallas Wings' Satou Sabally wins WNBA's Most Improved Player award

Las Vegas Aces forward Alysha Clark has been named the 2023 Kia WNBA Sixth Player of the Year, the WNBA announced today. She has earned the honor as the league&rsquo;s top reserve for the first time. To be eligible for the award, a player had to play more games as a reserve than as a starter.
Clark received 35 of 60 votes from a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters. Guard-forward DiJonai Carrington of the Connecticut Sun finished second with 13 votes, and guard Dana Evans of the Chicago Sky was third&nbsp;with nine votes. Center Kalani Brown of the Dallas Wings, guard Marine Johann&egrave;s of the New York Liberty and guard Sami Whitcomb of the Seattle Storm each received one&nbsp;vote.&nbsp;
In her 11th&nbsp;WNBA season and first with the Aces, Clark played in all 39 of Las Vegas&rsquo; regular-season games, coming off the bench 38 times and starting once.
Overall, she averaged 6.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 22.5 minutes per game. Clark also made 38.6 percent of her three-point shots, ranking 17th&nbsp;in the WNBA in that category. She scored in double figures in 10 games, including a season-high 16 points in a 103-77 win over Seattle on Sept. 2, and recorded five or more rebounds 11 times.
Clark helped Las Vegas post a 34-6 record and earn the No. 1 seed in the 2023 WNBA Playoffs presented by Google. The Aces have since advanced to the WNBA Semifinals and will host the winner of the series between Dallas and the Atlanta Dream beginning on Sunday, Sept. 24 (5 p.m. ET, ESPN2).
The Aces finished with the most victories and the fifth-best winning percentage (.850) in a regular season in league history. Las Vegas also posted the highest offensive rating (113.0) and the most 100-point games (11) ever by a WNBA team.
Clark, a two-time WNBA All-Defensive Team selection, is the third player to win the Kia WNBA Sixth Player of the Year Award as a member of the Aces, joining Kelsey Plum (2021) and Dearica Hamby (2020 and 2019). In honor of her accomplishment, Clark will receive $5,150 and a trophy designed to commemorate the achievement.

Aces' Alysha Clark named WNBA Sixth Player of the Year

Connecticut Sun head coach Stephanie White has been named the 2023 WNBA Coach of the Year, the WNBA announced today.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
White becomes the fourth former WNBA player to win the award, joining Becky Hammon (2022), Sandy Brondello (2014) and Suzie McConnell-Serio (2004). This marks the fifth Coach of the Year honor in Sun history, and White is the third different Connecticut coach to earn the award (Mike Thibault, 2006 and 2008; Curt Miller, 2017 and 2021).
&nbsp;
White received 36 votes from a national panel of 60 sportswriters and broadcasters.&nbsp;Latricia Trammell of the Dallas Wings finished in second place with 11 votes, and Brondello of the New York Liberty was third with six votes.&nbsp; Hammon of the Las Vegas Aces received three votes; Cheryl Reeve of the Minnesota Lynx and Tanisha Wright of the Atlanta Dream each received two votes.
&nbsp;
In her third season as a WNBA head coach and her first with the Sun, White guided Connecticut to a 27-13 record and set the franchise record for victories in a season. The No. 3-seeded Sun will continue its quest for the franchise&rsquo;s first WNBA championship when it hosts the No. 6-seeded Lynx today in Game 2 of a first-round playoff series (1 p.m. ET, ESPN). Connecticut leads the series 1-0.
&nbsp;
White was named the WNBA Coach of the Month for May after leading the team to a 4-1 record, marking the best start by a Sun head coach in their debut season with the franchise. The Indiana native earned a spot as a head coach in the 2023 AT&amp;T WNBA All-Star Game after guiding the Sun to the second-best record (12-4) in the league through June. At the All-Star Game in Las Vegas, White led Team Stewart to a 143-127 victory over Team Wilson.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Beginning the season with a talented veteran core, White replaced the production of former Kia WNBA MVP Jonquel Jones, who had departed via free agency, and subsequently guided the Sun through the loss of 2022 Kia WNBA Sixth Player of the Year and two-time All-Star Brionna Jones, who sustained a season-ending Achilles injury on June 20.
&nbsp;
Under White&rsquo;s guidance, forward Alyssa Thomas and forward-guard DeWanna Bonner were selected as 2023 WNBA All-Stars during their memorable seasons. Thomas posted a WNBA single-season record six triple-doubles and became the first player in league history to log triple-doubles in consecutive games, doing so twice. She also led the league in rebounding (9.9 rpg), ranked second in assists (7.9 apg) and equaled her career high in scoring (15.5 ppg). Bonner became the first player in Sun history to record consecutive games of 30 or more points and scored a career-high 41 points in a 94-77 win over the Aces on June 8. She averaged 17.4 points for the season, the third-highest figure of her career.
&nbsp;
As a team, the Sun ranked second in the WNBA in defensive rating (98.8) and fourth in offensive rating (103.2). Connecticut allowed a league-low 79.0 points per game.
&nbsp;
The 2023 season marks White&rsquo;s 16th&nbsp;in the WNBA. She began her WNBA career with five seasons (1999-2003) as a player, first with the Charlotte Sting, then the Indiana Fever. As a coach, she spent four seasons as an assistant with both the Chicago Sky (2007-10) and the Fever (2011-14), helping Indiana win the 2012 WNBA championship. She took over as Fever head coach in 2015, leading Indiana to the WNBA Finals in her first season and another playoff appearance the following year.

This marks the fifth Coach of the Year honor in Sun history, and White is the third different Connecticut coach to earn the award (Mike Thibault, 2006 and 2008; Curt Miller, 2017 and 2021).
White received 36 votes from a national panel of 60 sportswriters and broadcasters.&nbsp;Latricia Trammell of the Dallas Wings finished in second place with 11 votes, and Brondello of the New York Liberty was third with six votes.&nbsp; Hammon of the Las Vegas Aces received three votes; Cheryl Reeve of the Minnesota Lynx and Tanisha Wright of the Atlanta Dream each received two votes.
In her third season as a WNBA head coach and her first with the Sun, White guided Connecticut to a 27-13 record and set the franchise record for victories in a season. The No. 3-seeded Sun will continue its quest for the franchise&rsquo;s first WNBA championship when it hosts the No. 6-seeded Lynx today in Game 2 of a first-round playoff series (1 p.m. ET, ESPN). Connecticut leads the series 1-0.
White was named the WNBA Coach of the Month for May after leading the team to a 4-1 record, marking the best start by a Sun head coach in their debut season with the franchise. The Indiana native earned a spot as a head coach in the 2023 AT&amp;T WNBA All-Star Game after guiding the Sun to the second-best record (12-4) in the league through June. At the All-Star Game in Las Vegas, White led Team Stewart to a 143-127 victory over Team Wilson.&nbsp;
Beginning the season with a talented veteran core, White replaced the production of former Kia WNBA MVP Jonquel Jones, who had departed via free agency, and subsequently guided the Sun through the loss of 2022 Kia WNBA Sixth Player of the Year and two-time All-Star Brionna Jones, who sustained a season-ending Achilles injury on June 20.
Under White&rsquo;s guidance, forward Alyssa Thomas and forward-guard DeWanna Bonner were selected as 2023 WNBA All-Stars during their memorable seasons. Thomas posted a WNBA single-season record six triple-doubles and became the first player in league history to log triple-doubles in consecutive games, doing so twice. She also led the league in rebounding (9.9 rpg), ranked second in assists (7.9 apg) and equaled her career high in scoring (15.5 ppg). Bonner became the first player in Sun history to record consecutive games of 30 or more points and scored a career-high 41 points in a 94-77 win over the Aces on June 8. She averaged 17.4 points for the season, the third-highest figure of her career.
As a team, the Sun ranked second in the WNBA in defensive rating (98.8) and fourth in offensive rating (103.2). Connecticut allowed a league-low 79.0 points per game.
The 2023 season marks White&rsquo;s 16th&nbsp;in the WNBA. She began her WNBA career with five seasons (1999-2003) as a player, first with the Charlotte Sting, then the Indiana Fever. As a coach, she spent four seasons as an assistant with both the Chicago Sky (2007-10) and the Fever (2011-14), helping Indiana win the 2012 WNBA championship. She took over as Fever head coach in 2015, leading Indiana to the WNBA Finals in her first season and another playoff appearance the following year.

Eight teams (four per conference) will advance from Group Play into the second stage of the In-Season Tournament, the Knockout Rounds.&nbsp; The advancing teams will be the six group winners and two &ldquo;wild cards&rdquo; (the team from each conference with the best record in Group Play games that finished second in its group).&nbsp; The tiebreaker procedures are available&nbsp;<a href="https://pr.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/46/2023/08/NBA-In-Season-Tournament-Tiebreaker-Procedures.pdf" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://pr.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/46/2023/08/NBA-In-Season-Tournament-Tiebreaker-Procedures.pdf&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692218455557000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3dIy44IHPBuKgJM4kYZ9CD">here</a>.&nbsp;
The Knockout Rounds will consist of single-elimination games in the Quarterfinals (Monday, Dec. 4 and Tuesday, Dec. 5), Semifinals (Thursday, Dec. 7) and Championship (Saturday, Dec. 9).&nbsp; The national broadcast schedule for the Knockout Rounds will be announced at a later date.&nbsp;
The Quarterfinals will be played in NBA team markets.&nbsp; The Semifinals and Championship will take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with tickets on sale now at&nbsp;<a href="https://nbaevents.nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://nbaevents.nba.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692218455557000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0VQ1tv3_NkY6uEZLY2VYco">NBAEvents.com</a>.&nbsp;
The 67 games across both stages of the In-Season Tournament will count toward the regular-season standings except the Championship.&nbsp; Each team will continue to play 82 regular-season games in the 2023-24 season, including those games that are part of Group Play and the Knockout Rounds.
ADDED REGULAR-SEASON GAMES
Each of the 22 teams that do not advance to the Quarterfinals of the In-Season Tournament will be assigned two regular-season games (one home game and one away game) that will be played on Wednesday, Dec. 6 and Friday, Dec. 8.&nbsp; A formulaic approach will determine the matchups for these 22 games using the Group Play standings in each conference (fifth through 15th).
Two of the 22 games will be scheduled cross-conference because there will be an odd number of teams in each conference that do not advance to the Quarterfinals.&nbsp; These cross-conference games will be scheduled between bottom-finishing teams in Group Play subject to travel constraints, and no team will play more than one of its two games cross-conference.&nbsp; The other 20 games will be scheduled within conference featuring teams that are otherwise scheduled to play each other three times over the course of the season wherever possible.
The losing teams in the Quarterfinals in each conference will play each other in a regular-season game on Dec. 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Eight teams (four per conference) will advance from Group Play into the second stage of the In-Season Tournament, the Knockout Rounds.&nbsp; The advancing teams will be the six group winners and two &ldquo;wild cards&rdquo; (the team from each conference with the best record in Group Play games that finished second in its group).&nbsp; The tiebreaker procedures are available&nbsp;<a href="https://pr.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/46/2023/08/NBA-In-Season-Tournament-Tiebreaker-Procedures.pdf" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://pr.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/46/2023/08/NBA-In-Season-Tournament-Tiebreaker-Procedures.pdf&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692218455557000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3dIy44IHPBuKgJM4kYZ9CD">here</a>.&nbsp;
The Knockout Rounds will consist of single-elimination games in the Quarterfinals (Monday, Dec. 4 and Tuesday, Dec. 5), Semifinals (Thursday, Dec. 7) and Championship (Saturday, Dec. 9).&nbsp; The national broadcast schedule for the Knockout Rounds will be announced at a later date.&nbsp;
The Quarterfinals will be played in NBA team markets.&nbsp; The Semifinals and Championship will take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with tickets on sale now at&nbsp;<a href="https://nbaevents.nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://nbaevents.nba.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692218455557000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0VQ1tv3_NkY6uEZLY2VYco">NBAEvents.com</a>.&nbsp;
The 67 games across both stages of the In-Season Tournament will count toward the regular-season standings except the Championship.&nbsp; Each team will continue to play 82 regular-season games in the 2023-24 season, including those games that are part of Group Play and the Knockout Rounds.
ADDED REGULAR-SEASON GAMES
Each of the 22 teams that do not advance to the Quarterfinals of the In-Season Tournament will be assigned two regular-season games (one home game and one away game) that will be played on Wednesday, Dec. 6 and Friday, Dec. 8.&nbsp; A formulaic approach will determine the matchups for these 22 games using the Group Play standings in each conference (fifth through 15th).
Two of the 22 games will be scheduled cross-conference because there will be an odd number of teams in each conference that do not advance to the Quarterfinals.&nbsp; These cross-conference games will be scheduled between bottom-finishing teams in Group Play subject to travel constraints, and no team will play more than one of its two games cross-conference.&nbsp; The other 20 games will be scheduled within conference featuring teams that are otherwise scheduled to play each other three times over the course of the season wherever possible.
The losing teams in the Quarterfinals in each conference will play each other in a regular-season game on Dec. 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Eight teams (four per conference) will advance from Group Play into the second stage of the In-Season Tournament, the Knockout Rounds.&nbsp; The advancing teams will be the six group winners and two &ldquo;wild cards&rdquo; (the team from each conference with the best record in Group Play games that finished second in its group).&nbsp; The tiebreaker procedures are available&nbsp;<a href="https://pr.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/46/2023/08/NBA-In-Season-Tournament-Tiebreaker-Procedures.pdf" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://pr.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/46/2023/08/NBA-In-Season-Tournament-Tiebreaker-Procedures.pdf&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692218455557000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3dIy44IHPBuKgJM4kYZ9CD">here</a>.&nbsp;
The Knockout Rounds will consist of single-elimination games in the Quarterfinals (Monday, Dec. 4 and Tuesday, Dec. 5), Semifinals (Thursday, Dec. 7) and Championship (Saturday, Dec. 9).&nbsp; The national broadcast schedule for the Knockout Rounds will be announced at a later date.&nbsp;
The Quarterfinals will be played in NBA team markets.&nbsp; The Semifinals and Championship will take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with tickets on sale now at&nbsp;<a href="https://nbaevents.nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://nbaevents.nba.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692218455557000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0VQ1tv3_NkY6uEZLY2VYco">NBAEvents.com</a>.&nbsp;

ADDED REGULAR-SEASON GAMES
Each of the 22 teams that do not advance to the Quarterfinals of the In-Season Tournament will be assigned two regular-season games (one home game and one away game) that will be played on Wednesday, Dec. 6 and Friday, Dec. 8.&nbsp; A formulaic approach will determine the matchups for these 22 games using the Group Play standings in each conference (fifth through 15th).
Two of the 22 games will be scheduled cross-conference because there will be an odd number of teams in each conference that do not advance to the Quarterfinals.&nbsp; These cross-conference games will be scheduled between bottom-finishing teams in Group Play subject to travel constraints, and no team will play more than one of its two games cross-conference.&nbsp; The other 20 games will be scheduled within conference featuring teams that are otherwise scheduled to play each other three times over the course of the season wherever possible.
The losing teams in the Quarterfinals in each conference will play each other in a regular-season game on Dec. 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Eight teams (four per conference) will advance from Group Play into the second stage of the In-Season Tournament, the Knockout Rounds.&nbsp; The advancing teams will be the six group winners and two &ldquo;wild cards&rdquo; (the team from each conference with the best record in Group Play games that finished second in its group).&nbsp; The tiebreaker procedures are available&nbsp;<a href="https://pr.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/46/2023/08/NBA-In-Season-Tournament-Tiebreaker-Procedures.pdf" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://pr.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/46/2023/08/NBA-In-Season-Tournament-Tiebreaker-Procedures.pdf&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692218455557000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3dIy44IHPBuKgJM4kYZ9CD">here</a>.&nbsp;
The Knockout Rounds will consist of single-elimination games in the Quarterfinals (Monday, Dec. 4 and Tuesday, Dec. 5), Semifinals (Thursday, Dec. 7) and Championship (Saturday, Dec. 9).&nbsp; The national broadcast schedule for the Knockout Rounds will be announced at a later date.&nbsp;
The Quarterfinals will be played in NBA team markets.&nbsp; The Semifinals and Championship will take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with tickets on sale now at&nbsp;<a href="https://nbaevents.nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://nbaevents.nba.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692218455557000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0VQ1tv3_NkY6uEZLY2VYco">NBAEvents.com</a>.&nbsp;
The 67 games across both stages of the In-Season Tournament will count toward the regular-season standings except the Championship.&nbsp; Each team will continue to play 82 regular-season games in the 2023-24 season, including those games that are part of Group Play and the Knockout Rounds.
ADDED REGULAR-SEASON GAMES
Each of the 22 teams that do not advance to the Quarterfinals of the In-Season Tournament will be assigned two regular-season games (one home game and one away game) that will be played on Wednesday, Dec. 6 and Friday, Dec. 8.&nbsp; A formulaic approach will determine the matchups for these 22 games using the Group Play standings in each conference (fifth through 15th).
Two of the 22 games will be scheduled cross-conference because there will be an odd number of teams in each conference that do not advance to the Quarterfinals.&nbsp; These cross-conference games will be scheduled between bottom-finishing teams in Group Play subject to travel constraints, and no team will play more than one of its two games cross-conference.&nbsp; The other 20 games will be scheduled within conference featuring teams that are otherwise scheduled to play each other three times over the course of the season wherever possible.
The losing teams in the Quarterfinals in each conference will play each other in a regular-season game on Dec. 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Eight teams (four per conference) will advance from Group Play into the second stage of the In-Season Tournament, the Knockout Rounds.&nbsp; The advancing teams will be the six group winners and two &ldquo;wild cards&rdquo; (the team from each conference with the best record in Group Play games that finished second in its group).&nbsp; The tiebreaker procedures are available&nbsp;<a href="https://pr.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/46/2023/08/NBA-In-Season-Tournament-Tiebreaker-Procedures.pdf" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://pr.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/46/2023/08/NBA-In-Season-Tournament-Tiebreaker-Procedures.pdf&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692218455557000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3dIy44IHPBuKgJM4kYZ9CD">here</a>.&nbsp;
The Knockout Rounds will consist of single-elimination games in the Quarterfinals (Monday, Dec. 4 and Tuesday, Dec. 5), Semifinals (Thursday, Dec. 7) and Championship (Saturday, Dec. 9).&nbsp; The national broadcast schedule for the Knockout Rounds will be announced at a later date.&nbsp;
The Quarterfinals will be played in NBA team markets.&nbsp; The Semifinals and Championship will take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with tickets on sale now at&nbsp;<a href="https://nbaevents.nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://nbaevents.nba.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692218455557000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0VQ1tv3_NkY6uEZLY2VYco">NBAEvents.com</a>.&nbsp;
The 67 games across both stages of the In-Season Tournament will count toward the regular-season standings except the Championship.&nbsp; Each team will continue to play 82 regular-season games in the 2023-24 season, including those games that are part of Group Play and the Knockout Rounds.
ADDED REGULAR-SEASON GAMES
Each of the 22 teams that do not advance to the Quarterfinals of the In-Season Tournament will be assigned two regular-season games (one home game and one away game) that will be played on Wednesday, Dec. 6 and Friday, Dec. 8.&nbsp; A formulaic approach will determine the matchups for these 22 games using the Group Play standings in each conference (fifth through 15th).
Two of the 22 games will be scheduled cross-conference because there will be an odd number of teams in each conference that do not advance to the Quarterfinals.&nbsp; These cross-conference games will be scheduled between bottom-finishing teams in Group Play subject to travel constraints, and no team will play more than one of its two games cross-conference.&nbsp; The other 20 games will be scheduled within conference featuring teams that are otherwise scheduled to play each other three times over the course of the season wherever possible.
The losing teams in the Quarterfinals in each conference will play each other in a regular-season game on Dec. 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
