Named Most Improved Player Shepard was named the 2026 Most Improved Player on Wednesday.
Impact Shepard spent the first five seasons of her career with the Lynx before joining Dallas on a two-year deal. The 30-year-old center averaged 8.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 40 regular-season games (12 starts) in 2025, though she took a significant leap while starting each of her 42 regular-season appearances in 2026, during which she averaged 14.5 points, 11.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 0.7 steals in 31.7 minutes per contest. She also posted a league-high six triple-doubles during the regular season. Shepard struggled mightily in Dallas' Game 1 loss to the Valkyries on Sunday, and she'll likely need to bounce back if the team hopes to force a Game 3.
