San Antonio Stars 2017 season: 8–26, scoring 74.4 points per game and allowing 81.4 (-7 average margin) across 34 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Stars finished 8–26, 12th in the league standings, with a -8.8 net rating that ranked 11th of 12. The problems ran both ways: 12th in offensive rating and 8th in defensive rating. Nothing jumped off the page as a strength, and the weak spots were turnovers (21.1 a game, most in the league) and getting outshot (46.5% eFG vs. 49.5% allowed). Scoring was spread around — Kayla McBride led at 15.4 a game, but no one accounted for more than 18% of the points, though the on/off numbers point to Moriah Jefferson as the one they can least afford to lose — +12.6 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 3-game winning streak (Aug 1–Aug 5) and a 24-point rout of the Fever on Jul 20. The lows: a 14-game losing streak (May 13–Jun 25) and a 33-point loss to the Sun on Jul 5. They went 2–16 against teams at .500 or better and 2–4 in games decided by five or fewer. Bottom line: a difficult season, with Kayla McBride the main reason to watch and its turnover problem the most urgent fix.
