What happened: The Atlanta Dream endorsed Jordin Canada for Most Improved Player and All-Defense as the 2026 postseason continues. The club says its floor general is playing the best basketball of her career.
Why it matters: Her 400th career steal in July anchors the All-Defense half of the case. A Most Improved nod would reward the offensive jump during Atlanta's playoff push.
What to watch: Watch her postseason assignments and whether voters buy the two-way leap.
