The WNBA has been enjoying a meteoric rise in popularity of late. The arrival of the likes of Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese in 2024 generated a ton of buzz for the league, thanks in large part to the media coverage they got during their collegiate years and their rivalry as well.

The injection of more star power into the league via the 2025 WNBA draft has also added hype to the new season. Paige Bueckers of the UConn Huskies and Hailey Van Lith of the TCU Horned Frogs, who have crossover appeal, are attracting even more attention to the WNBA.

Of course, it helps that established NBA superstars like Kevin Durant and LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers are sharing their thoughts about the WNBA. The four-time NBA Most Valuable Player even reacted to Clark's incredible triple-double performance on Saturday during a game between the Fever and the Reese's Sky.

As Durant enjoys some WNBA action, he's someone who's someone who's a big subject in the basketball world. The future Basketball Hall of Famer's future is a major topic, with rumors about a possible trade swirling again. During the 2024-25 NBA season, Durant averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists through 62 games while posting a 59.8 effective field goal percentage.
