Here are the two biggest takeaways of the longest win streak in the WNBA this season: 1. Gabby Williams is Golden State’s most important,...

Becky Hammon was dialed in as the Washington Mystics closed the gap with the Las Vegas Aces during the second period. While the defending champions were the clear favorites on paper, the 14-12 Mystics proved to be more than a match.

What’s next for the Wizards after an eventful few weeks that saw them draft AJ Dybantsa, sign Trae Young to the largest free agent contract of 2026, and trade for Deandre Ayton and Khris Middleton?

Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman. | Getty Images Entering this final day of WNBA action before All-Star 2026, I imagined the league’s multiple, long winning streaks would be the topic of conversation. The Golden State Valkyries could have been cruising into the break with 10-straight wins, with the Dallas Wings keeping pace with seven-straight victories. Full credit to the Washington Mystics and New York Liberty for disrupting those dreams, leaving the Minnesota Lynx as the league’s lon...

Minnesota and Golden State are at the top of the class. Las Vegas, Indiana and Washington have improved marks.

But according to Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson, another situation could soon command plenty of attention around the league. In a column published Tuesday, Robinson wrote that all eyes should be on Aug. 6, when Anthony Davis becomes eligible to sign […] The post Wizards’ Anthony Davis extension could become NBA’s next storyline appeared first on Hoops Wire.

Good morning, everybody. It's Josh Robbins here. Before the Wizards left Las Vegas, I spoke with AJ Dybantsa, Tre Johnson, Will Riley and T.J. Sorrentine to wrap up what they liked about their performances and, in Dybantsa's case, the areas that he will work on before training camp.
