Phoenix Mercury All-Star center Brittney Griner has broken her silence on her recent three-game absence due to her mental health concerns.

WNBA […]

Being a WNBA all-star is not easy. The consistent efforts that all of the fans’ favorite players have to put in and countless hours in the gym to improve their game are hard to accomplish.

The Phoenix Mercury have had a disappointing season so far. Although they have celebrated the return of superstar Brittney Griner, their season as a whole has not been what they expected.

The Phoenix Mercury have had a roller coaster of a season. What was supposed to be a celebration of the return of Brittney Griner has quickly turned into a disappointing season.

In the WNBA, when teams fall below ten available players, they are allowed to sign additional players to hardship contracts. Sometimes those hardship contracts come in the form of a 7-day contract.

Skylar Diggins-Smith has yet to return to the WNBA court this year, as she’s still taking her time off from the Phoenix Mercury due to maternity reasons. And if Diggins-Smith’s recent comments are any indication, it seems like the two parties will have to bridge a wide chasm if ever the 33-year old point guard […]

2023 is the year scoring records get broken. LeBron James just shattered the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time NBA scoring lead with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Now it can be said: Sue Bird and Geno Aueriemma considers the Phoenix Mercury’s Diana Taurasi the WNBA’s GOAT.

He told her to wear No. 3 because she could eventually become the Babe Ruth […]

Although Ogunbowale didn’t shoot well (8-of-21 FG, 5-0f-12 three-pointers), she […]

After getting off to a poor start to the 2023 WNBA season, the Seattle Storm had been playing improved basketball their last couple of games. In a bunch of the games that they lost earlier this season, they had either lost a close game, or made a comeback only to fall short. So the signs […]

The Las Vegas Aces have been head and shoulders above every other team in the WNBA this season.

Perhaps the […]

The Indiana Fever surprised nobody when they selected South Carolina’s Aliyah Boston with the No. 1 pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft.

The Washington Mystics were looking like a team that could possibly be a dark horse contender come playoff time. That’s quickly gone south though as they’ve been hit with a rash of injuries.

There’s the Las Vegas Aces, and then there’s the rest of the WNBA. That’s how this season has looked so far.
