Rookie guard Candice Wiggins of the Lynx is expected to be named the WNBA's Sixth Woman of the Year today. She averaged 15.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists.

Wiggins played in 30 games, started only once, but still averaged 27.5 minutes. She had surgery on her right knee earlier this week for a torn lateral meniscus which kept her from playing in the Lynx's final two games.
