WNBA MVP Watch 2025: Allisha Gray Joins the Top 5 in Week 12 Rankings
As the 2025 WNBA season barrels toward the playoffs, the MVP race is heating up — and Allisha Gray is officially in the mix. In Week 12, the dynamic guard has surged into the Top 5 on the MVP ladder, earning national attention with her all-around excellence on both ends of the court.
Gray has been a force for the Atlanta Dream this season, combining efficiency, leadership, and clutch performances that have propelled her team into playoff contention. Averaging 19.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game, she’s proven to be one of the league’s most complete players. Her defensive presence and versatility have made her a matchup nightmare, often guarding the opposing team’s best perimeter scorer.
What’s made Gray stand out in recent weeks is her consistency and ability to deliver in high-pressure moments. In back-to-back wins against top-tier opponents, she dropped 26 and 28 points respectively, showing she can take over games when it matters most. That clutch factor is something voters never ignore when MVP ballots go out.
While big names like A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, and Napheesa Collier remain in the MVP conversation, Gray’s recent surge puts her right in the thick of it. If the Dream continue climbing the standings and she maintains this level of play, it’s not out of the question for her to make a serious run at the league’s highest individual honor.
Week 12 might be the turning point. Allisha Gray is no longer flying under the radar — she’s a certified MVP contender. Keep an eye on her as the regular season winds down. This race is far from over.
