The Dallas Wings are coming into their Sunday matchup with the Washington Mystics a little bit short-handed. The recent injury to Maddy Siegrist, along with the Eurobasket absences of Teaira McCowan and Luisa Geiselsöder, leave the Wings without key players in their rotation. But it appears as if they dodged another blow. DiJonai Carrington did […]

The Los Angeles Sparks current losing streak reached three games following their 82-66 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Saturday. The loss was disappointing for two reason; the first being that the Sparks held a lead with a little over seven minutes to go, and the second being that the Lynx were without star forward […]

The Indiana Fever came into the 2025 WNBA season with visions of potentially winning a championship. But in the early goings of the regular season, the Fever have sputtered to a .500 record (6-6) amid a few absences including a recent injury to star guard Caitlin Clark. Clark has since returned to the lineup, but […]

The Connecticut Sun are in the midst of a rebuilding season with plenty of young players and a new head coach in Rachid Meziane. To help the young players get acclimated to the WNBA, the Sun have leaned heavily on veteran guard Marina Mabrey. However, it’s possible she might miss time. Marina Mabrey was officially […]

The Atlanta Dream have been one of the best teams in the WNBA this season under new head coach Karl Smesko. The Dream made a few major free agent additions in Brittney Griner and Brionna Jones, and the star duo of Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard have helped carry them as well. Allisha Gray has […]

The New York Liberty provided a key injury update on Jonquel Jones before their upcoming matchup against the Seattle Storm. Jones suffered an ankle injury on June 20 during their previous game against the Phoenix Mercury. New York lost 89-81, but her injury proved to be important as she left in the second quarter and […]

The Indiana Fever are 6-5 in their last ten games. The return of Caitlin Clark from injury has been a big boost; the Fever are 2-1 with her back in the lineup. Unfortunately, Indiana head coach Stephanie White will be without veteran forward DeWanna Bonner against the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday. The 37-year-old has […]

The WNBA annually features a revolving door of head coaches, but the 2025 season marked a complete changing of the guard. Eight new faces took over struggling franchises, with the Atlanta Dream’s Karl Smesko, Chicago Sky’s Tyler Marsh, Connecticut Sun’s Rachid Meziane, Dallas Wings’ Chris Koclanes, Golden State Valkyries’ Natalie Nakase, Indiana Fever’s Stephanie White, […]

After a strong start to the 2025 WNBA season, the Washington Mystics have hit a tough slump. Star guard Brittney Sykes may be at the helm as one of the team’s leaders and its top scorer, but she hasn’t been able to help the squad find consistent wins as the campaign goes on. The Mystics’ […]

The Phoenix Mercury received the WNBA’s afternoon feature slot on Saturday and delivered a dominant 106-87 win over the Chicago Sky. While impressive all-around, the Mercury rode the hot hand of backup guard Sami Whitcomb to collect their fifth consecutive victory. Whitcomb torched the Sky from deep, going 5-for-10 from behind the arc to end […]

WNBA players rarely get a chance to experience a memorable personal moment in between all the gameplay, but for Kathryn Westbeld and her sister Maddy, they’re getting a chance to run back their historic feat. The Westbeld sisters are sharing the court for the second time in the 2025 WNBA season on June 22 when […]

The Las Vegas Aces have not gotten off to their typical hot start in 2025, going just 5-7 through the first 12 games. As they continue to work out the kinks, A’ja Wilson believes impatient Aces fans are “spoiled” by the team’s back-to-back titles in 2022 and 2023. Wilson, who missed three games with a […]

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese has expressed a strong desire to evolve her game and become a more versatile player, and that ambition was reflected through the triple-double she posted in last Sunday’s road win versus the Connecticut Sun, but she also understands the brand component of her WNBA career. The double-double machine has actively […]

In an MVP race dominated by Napheesa Collier and Caitlin Clark, Phoenix Mercury star forward Alyssa Thomas has entered her name into the conversation. When the Mercury made a massive trade for Thomas, the franchise knew they were getting a star. However, she’s completely shifted the dynamics and culture of the franchise. While stars Satou […]

Las Vegas Aces superstar and reigning WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson made up for lost time on Friday night. Wilson, who missed the previous three games while in concussion protocol, returned against the Seattle Storm in a big way, scoring 20 points and pulling down 14 rebounds. Additionally, Wilson finished with a pair of assists and […]

ATLANTA – Two days ago, the Atlanta Dream were up 17 points in the second half against the New York Liberty, but fell flat in the fourth quarter and ended up losing the game. In their 92-91 win against the Washington Mystics, they were in the same situation, but this time around, they held a […]

The Dallas Wings defeated the Connecticut Sun by a final score of 86-83 on Friday night. Dallas has now earned two consecutive victories overall. Rookie Paige Bueckers led the Wings with 21 points and seven assists. Meanwhile, Aziaha James — another rookie who started her second game of the season on Friday — scored a […]

The Los Angeles Sparks begin a three-game road trip starting with a matchup against the Minnesota Lynx on Saturday. The Lynx have been the best team in the Western Conference this season, but it appears as if the Sparks have help on the horizon. Star guard Kelsey Plum was not listed on the Sparks’ injury […]

Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers is playing well in her rookie season. With that being said, Bueckers was forced to miss time earlier in the ’25 campaign due to concussion protocol. The Wings are doing everything they can to help Bueckers limit future injury trouble, though. For head coach Chris Koclanes, that means being careful […]

The Connecticut Sun and the Dallas Wings are both trying to get out of the basement in the WNBA standings with a win in a big game against each other on Friday night. Neither team has started the season like it wanted to this year, but this clash presents each with an opportunity to get […]

The 2025 season hasn’t gone exactly how the Dallas Wings would have envisioned it so far, but they are still getting healthy and battling game after game. Most of the focus so far this season has been on rookie sensation Paige Bueckers, but the Wings also have some quality veterans that are leading the way […]

The Atlanta Dream have been one of the better teams in the league to start the season, and you can name a multitude of reasons why. Head coach Karl Smesko has put in a system that has allowed the players to flourish while also doing things they aren’t used to. The players themselves are buying […]

Indiana Fever superstar guard Caitlin Clark is one of the most popular athletes in the world. However, she learned on Thursday night that she is not beloved everywhere. Clark and the Fever were shut down by the Golden State Valkyries on the road at the Chase Center. Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski was in […]

Very rarely does a team re-sign a player after waiving them in training camp. But the Golden State Valkyries are a weird and rare exception. As an expansion team built on many European players, the Valkyries brought back Laeticia Amihere, the breakout sensation from the preseason, to reinforce the team’s frontcourt. And in Golden State’s […]

As records keep getting broken by New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart, it’s in the effort of capturing championships, which she and the team did in 2024 against the Minnesota Lynx. With Stewart along with Sabrina Ionescu leading the Liberty to possibly a second straight title, she would rewind the clock and speak about the […]

When Breanna Stewart left the Seattle Storm in 2022, she sought a new partner-in-crime after Sue Bird ended her decorated 20-year career. Stewart found what she desired with Sabrina Ionescu and the New York Liberty, who have reached a new level in 2025. Coming off their first championship together, Stewart and Ionescu have led the […]

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, and that is exactly what Angel Reese has done with her new merch line. The Chicago Sky forward released “Mebounds” on Thursday after fans used the term as a way to attack her online for rebounding her own missed shots. “MEBOUNDS, REESEBOUNDS, REBOUNDS… MERCH AVAILABLE NOW! Part […]

A 3-0 start to a road trip couldn’t have been better. Just ask Phoenix Mercury head coach Nate Tibbetts. Following the 89-81 takedown of the New York Liberty, it was another instance of the depth stepping up to the plate. For instance, rookie guard Monique Akoa Makani led the team with 21 points, and registered […]

The Caitlin Clark Effect is undeniable and extends wider than many people even realize. If it was not clear by now, the early returns for WNBA All-Star voting, as conveyed by ESPN’s Alexa Philippou, emphatically reinforce the notion that she is already the face of the league. The Indiana Fever star leads all players with […]

Anyone and everyone who saw Caitlin Clark make her return to the floor following a two-week hiatus could tell she hadn’t skipped a beat. Last Saturday, Clark was hitting shot after shot and finished with 32 points and the Indiana Fever defeated the New York Liberty 102-88. One of those admirers soaking it in was […]

Fans have demanded that the WNBA implement officiating changes since the viral altercation between the Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun. With Caitlin Clark seemingly the victim of more physical fouls than any other player in the league, former Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder spoke out on behalf of her ex-pupil. Bluder, who coached Clark from […]

The Indiana Fever suffered their first loss since Caitlin Clark’s return from injury against the Golden State Valkyries on Thursday night. While Clark struggled from the floor in the defeat, Kelsey Mitchell blamed the team’s lack of intensity for the result. Mitchell pointed to the Valkyries’ edge in forcing turnovers and obtaining loose balls for […]

One of the best times of the WNBA season is here, when fans can vote for who they want to see in the All-Star Game in July.

Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers — despite missing four games — has enjoyed a strong start to her WNBA career. The 2025 No. 1 overall pick is establishing herself as a strong Rookie of the Year candidate. Fans are taking notice of Bueckers’ early season performance as evidenced by the early returns of All-Star voting. […]

Eventually, the mistakes are going to catch up with you. The New York Liberty learned that on Thursday night when they fell 89-81 to the Phoenix Mercury at home. It was the third straight game where the defending WNBA champions went long stretches appearing to be out of sync. The early season malaise left head […]

Caitlin Clark has played in her third game since returning from her quad injury, and she’s still trying to get back into her regular rhythm after missing some time. That showed in the Fever’s latest game against the Golden State Valkyries, where they lost 88-77. It was the fourth quarter where the Fever lost the […]

It takes an incredible combination of coaching, scheme, and personnel to slow Caitlin Clark down. And even then, she still might burn an opposing defense despite every variable going right. But Golden State Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase had a game plan for Clark, and she stated it in the clearest terms before the game: pick […]

ARLINGTON, TX — The Dallas Wings will play the Connecticut Sun on Friday night in a road matchup.
