Who are the leading candidates for the New York Liberty, Dallas Wings, Seattle Storm and Toronto Tempo head coach vacancies?
One down, four to go. (Or, four to go for now, as we can never count out the possibility of late-breaking, oddly-timed WNBA decisions.) On Friday, the Portland Fire officially announced Alex Sarama as their head coach, tapping the player development guru currently on the staff of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers. The hire, which initially […]

Throughout the 2025 WNBA season, players’ dissatisfaction with the state of their negotiations with the league for a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) smoldered.

A potential UConn repeat, SEC powerhouses and draft prospect promise headline reasons for NCAA excitement
With the WNBA season over and done with, the focus now shifts to the NCAA calendar.

So, have the Portland Fire hired a head coach or not?
Editor’s note: On Friday, the Portland Fire officially hired Alex Sarama as their head coach. Another only-in-the-WNBA moment appeared to occur on Tuesday.

This season, Iowa will officially draw the curtain on the Caitlin Clark Era
It’s said that all good things must come to an end. That will undoubtedly be true for the No. 21 Iowa Hawkeyes as they begin the 2025-26 season. The four remaining players who were part of the Caitlin Clark era will play out their final season before sold-out crowds at Carver-Hawkeye Arena: Hannah Stuelke, Kylie […]
Get ready for what promises to be a crazy WNBA offseason
This offseason will not be a normal one for the WNBA. The league and players’ union are currently trying to come to terms on a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), but a lockout seems imminent. Even when a new CBA gets agreed upon, nearly the entire league will be able to enter free agency. Did […]
An early-season showdown between Fenerbahçe and Valencia highlights Week 2 of EuroLeague Women action
It’s been six months since Fenerbahçe Opet defeated Valencia Basket Club in the EuroLeague Women third-place game, and Valencia surely hasn’t forgotten. The two powerhouses will meet again this week in group play, and with the rematch being held at the brand-new Roig Arena in Spain, Valencia will have extra motivation to earn an early-season […]

Everybody wants to start a women’s pro basketball league, and Project B is up next
With rumblings of the potential of a WNBA lockout growing louder, could a new, international women’s professional basketball league become a viable alternative for the sport’s top stars?

With three titles in four seasons, do the Las Vegas Aces have a case as the WNBA’s greatest dynasty?
The Las Vegas Aces haven’t just been good or dominant in the 2020s. They have been inevitable. The WNBA is considered one of the toughest, most balanced leagues in all of basketball, and the Aces have crushed that feeling by winning three titles in the last four years.
