Minnesota Lynx forwards Alanna Smith and Napheesa Collier anchor the WNBA’s 2025 All-Defensive first team announced on Wednesday.

Joining the duo is Seattle Storm guard Gabby Williams and two players currently competing in the WNBA Finals, Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson and Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas.

Smith and Wilson were named 2025 Co-Defensive Players of the Year last month.

The Lynx had an WNBA-best 34-10 record this past season but were eliminated by the Mercury in the semifinals of the playoffs.

Named to the All-Defensive second team were Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston, Golden State Valkyries guard Veronica Burton, Atlanta Dream guard Rhyne Howard, Storm forward Ezi Magbegor and New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart.
