DeMarco and his players now look forward to getting on the same page with the ...

UNCASVILLE — In her preseason debut with the Connecticut Sun against the Toronto Tempo on Wednesday night, rookie center Raegan Beers realized she was really playing WNBA basketball the first time a jump ball was called. The NCAA rule is muscle memory for Beers, who was a two-time All-SEC first-team selection at Oklahoma. In college, possession is awarded to one team or the other based on an ...

The Miami Heat’s 2025-26 season came to a disappointing end with the team not making the playoffs after losing their opening round play-in game against the Charlotte Hornets.

It’s been almost 10 months since Caitlin Clark last suited up for the Indiana Fever. Clark made her long-awaited return Saturday against the New York Liberty in both teams’ first preseason games of the year, with the Fever notching a 109-91 win. The 2024 rookie of the year played just 13 games during her sophomore season as she navigated injuries before officially being shut down in September.

This is going to be an awkward season for the Connecticut Sun. Full lame-duck seasons like the one coming up here are rare; and for good reason. Franchise removal more typically comes like ripping off a bandage. The Braves reported to spring training in 1953 expecting to play in Boston, but were issued new hats with “M” for Milwaukee on March 18. Same thing happened to the Seattle Pilots even ...

Stephanie White and the Indiana Fever are gearing up for the 2026 WNBA season. The Fever had a solid season last year, finishing 24-20 and No. 3 in the Eastern Conference and No. 6 overall.
