Award in Basketball
The Women's National Basketball Association's Sixth Player of the Year Award is an annual Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) award given since the 2007 WNBA season to the league's most valuable player for her team coming off the bench as a substitute—or sixth woman. A panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States votes on the recipient. The player with the highest number of votes wins the award. To be eligible for the award, a player must come off the bench in more games than she starts. The award was titled "Sixth Woman of the Year" through the 2020 season, with the word "Woman" replaced by "Player" in 2021. DeWanna Bonner has won the award the most times, with three selections. Golden State Valkyries forward Janelle Salaün is the reigning award winner, becoming the first player since its creation to win unanimously after receiving all 74 votes from the media panel.
