The 2026 Hall of Fame class features Elena Delle Donne, Chamique Holdsclaw, Candace Parker, the 1996 U.S. Olympic women’s basketball team, Amar’e Stoudemire, and coaches Mike D’Antoni, Mark Few, Doc Rivers, plus longtime official Joey Crawford.

Joey Crawford, Doc Rivers, and Mark Few will join the ceremony as longtime figures in the game, alongside the newly inducted group.

Delle Donne is a two-time WNBA MVP (2015, 2019) who led the Mystics to their only championship and became the first player to achieve a 50-40-90 season.

Amar’e Stoudemire is the only player in this year’s class, a 2003 Rookie of the Year and six-time All-Star who began his career with the Suns under coach Mike D’Antoni.

She joined the 50-40-90 club with a season-era line of 52% FG, 43% 3PT, and 97% FT, and also holds the league’s record for free-throw percentage.

Holdsclaw helped Tennessee win three consecutive NCAA titles (1996-1998), including an undefeated 39-0 season in 1998, and later spent 11 seasons in the WNBA with six All-Star selections.

Enshrinement is set for August at the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, with a ceremony that will include the inductees and guests.

Doc Rivers and Mark Few bring NBA and college coaching pedigrees, with Rivers winning a 2008 title as a Celtics coach and Few building Gonzaga into a modern powerhouse.

Candace Parker has a storied résumé including three WNBA titles with three different teams, a unique rookie-year MVP double, multiple Olympic golds, and multiple college titles with Tennessee.

Joey Crawford, a longtime NBA official, officiated thousands of games, including hundreds of Finals, before retiring in 2016.

The Induction announcement occurred at halftime of the women’s Final Four, with Parker, Holdsclaw, and the 1996 Olympic team members in attendance alongside Stoudemire and D’Antoni.
