The WNBA and WNBPA negotiated for 18 months before agreeing to a new CBA early March, igniting a 100-yard dash of an offseason that completed an expansion draft for the Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire, the collegiate draft, and free agency in less than two weeks. The last time an orange and white basketball was bounced in a game that mattered, the Las Vegas Aces hoisted its third championship in the past four seasons into the air, defeating the Phoenix Mercury in the first-ever 4-0 sweep after the WNBA Finals was extended to a seven-game series. The league’s landscape has […]

The WNBA preseason is in full effect, and it has been a doozy so far. Although starters haven’t played much, the recent stretch of games has produced a plethora of dynamic games from players that the average fan may not have known previously. In seven days, however, the games start to matter as the league’s 30th anniversary season is slated to tip off.  Every team has something to prove this season, but there are a few that are a few bad games away from hearing the infamous saxophones blaring in the distance. Whether it be an underwhelming free agency or […]

After 18 months of uncertainty and a shrunken offseason that concluded in two weeks, the 2026 WNBA campaign is nearly upon us. With over 100 players on the market in free agency, several teams saw widespread change down their rosters, while others were able to lock in their stars for the championship push ahead. Some teams made additions that could help them get back in the fight of contention. With six preseason games scheduled this weekend, there’s something to look for in each unit taking the floor for the first time after the first week of training camp. Let’s dive […]

With the WNBA Draft and most of free agency out of the way, all eyes turn towards training camp. Teams officially open their doors on Sunday ahead of the league’s 30th season.  Forty-five prospects heard their names called on Monday night, but only so many will make a final roster out of camp. Coaching staffs across the WNBA have tough decisions ahead as they begin to cut down their rosters, but there’s one trick left up their sleeves: developmental roster spots.  “Thank goodness there’s two developmental roles,” said Washington Mystics head coach Sydney Johnson when addressing reporters on Wednesday. “There’s […]

When determination is driven with purpose, the change a year’s time can bring will astonish you. No team exemplifies this more than the UCLA Bruins women’s basketball team. In the 2025 national championship, the Bruins faced the UConn Huskies in the program’s first-ever Final Four appearance. For UConn, it was the 16th Final Four appearance in the last 17 tournaments, and the team played like it, dominating UCLA 85-51 to advance to the title game. “We got exposed. We got out-toughed. We got our butts beat today,” UCLA coach Cori Close said after the game. “And it stings right now. […]

We’ve reached one of the best times of the sports calendar, folks. We’re going dancing with Sweet 16 basketball today, with four games and another four throughout most of Saturday. Names have been made and careers leap-started off of stellar, clutch play when it matters most at this stage of the tournament. Here are three pressing questions that will shape an interesting weekend of hoops. Can Notre Dame Continue? If you asked anyone a few months ago if Notre Dame would make the tournament (much less the Sweet 16), the answer would probably be a resounding no. However, with the […]

In October of 2024, the WNBPA opted out of its collective bargaining agreement (CBA) to negotiate a life-altering deal for its members and the next generation of WNBA players. After entering the most pivotal bargaining period in the history of women’s sports, the WNBA and the players’ union have reached a verbal agreement on terms, according to Front Office Sports.  News of the deal broke in the early hours of Wednesday morning, ending a labor battle that lasted for nearly 18 months and was in danger of delaying the start of the 2026 season. The two sides entered an eight-day, […]
