Wins Sixth Player of the Year The WNBA announced Hillmon as Sixth Player of the Year Saturday.

Impact Hillmon had the best year of her WNBA career thus far during the 2025 campaign. She averaged career-high numbers in points (8.6), rebounds (6.2), assists (2.4) and blocks (0.4) across her 44 appearances while shooting 46.3 percent from the floor and 32.1 percent from beyond the arc. The 25-year-old forward received 44 votes for the regular-season award, beating out Natisha Hiedeman (22) of the Lynx in convincing fashion.

Nears double-double in Game 3 Hillmon had nine points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist over 40 minutes during Thursday's 87-85 Game 3 loss to Indiana.

Impact Hillmon played all 40 minutes during Thursday's Game 3, but the Dream fell just short of advancing to the WNBA semifinals. The 25-year-old operated in a part-time starting role for a second consecutive season this year, as she was in the starting five in 17 of 44 regular-season appearances. Her production took a step forward, as she averaged 8.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 25.5 minutes per game, all of which were career-best marks. She'll be a restricted free agent during the offseason, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the Dream make a push to bring her back in 2026.

Contributes favorably in Game 2 Hillmon totaled eight points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes in Tuesday's 77-60 Game 2 loss against the Fever.

Impact Hillmon had a tough time from behind the arc, and that was par for the course for Atlanta, The starting five for the Dream went just 1-for-13, and the team shot 26.3 percent (5-19 3Pt) from downtown. Hillmon is averaging 12.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 blocks per game in two playoff contests this season.

Efficient 16 points, full stat line Hillmon racked up 16 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocks in 33 minutes during Sunday's 80-68 Game 1 win over Indiana.

Impact Hillmon stuffed the stat sheet Sunday, hauling in a team-high nine boards and swatting a game-high three shots. The three blocks represented her highest output of 2025, and Hillmon has run away with a starting role in the Atlanta frontcourt in favor of veteran Brittney Griner since the start of August.

Impact Hillmon was one of three starters who scored in double digits for the Dream in this blowout victory. However, Hillmon also made her presence felt in other areas -- particularly on the defensive end, where she secured a season-high four steals. Hillmon is ending the season on a strong note with 14 or more points in three of her last four contests.

Sniffs double-double Hillmon racked up eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes during Friday's 104-85 victory over the Sparks.

Impact Even though the likes of Rhyne Howard, Maya Caldwell and Brionna Jones stole the show for the Dream in this comfortable win over the Sparks, Hillmon was productive as well. She finished just two points and one board away from recording what would've been her first double-double since Aug. 10. Hillmon has scored double-digit points or rebounds in four of her previous six showings, averaging 10.3 points, 8.3 boards and 3.5 assists per game in that span.

Matches team high in rebounds Hillmon registered 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), eight rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes in Saturday's 78-62 win over the Liberty.

Impact Hillmon tied Brionna Jones and Rhyne Howard for the team high in boards Saturday. She's started 10 straight games, averaging 9.1 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 30.8 minutes per game during this span, so Hillmon should continue to have a boost in fantasy value as long as she sticks in the first unit.
