Find out how to watch tonight's Wings vs. Fire game.

With the All-Star weekend almost here, it's a good time too look at which players have emerged as front runners for the major WNBA awards.

Breanna Stewart made WNBA history, and Sabrina Ionescu tied a league record with 12 points in overtime, as the New York Liberty rallied from a 12-point deficit to beat the Dallas Wings 99-98 in overtime.

But the next season, her minutes per game dropped from 22.2 to 13.7, and her scoring average fell to 4.7 points per game....

She was going to get this work. The audacity. The swagger. Miles froze Wilson with an in-and-out hesitation, exploded… The post Fit Check: Napheesa Collier Returns To A Team Olivia Miles Stabilized appeared first on Winsidr.

Caitlin Clark is the first WNBA player to be featured on a global NBA 2K cover.

WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert explained how the Golden State Valkyries "set a blueprint" for teams looking to compete quickly.

Caitlin Clark has been one of the most talked-about players in the WNBA over the past few years, while some see her as the face of the league, others point to her inconsistency throughout the season. Clark gave one of the best performances of her career in a recent game against the Seattle Storm when she became the first player in the league’s history to record a 40-point, 10-assist game.

Since coming into the league three years ago, Caitlin Clark has broken several rookie as well as all-time WNBA records. Most recently, the Indiana star became the first player ever in WNBA and NBA history to score 45 points and ten assists in a stellar performance against the Storm.

There is no doubt that Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is one of the most popular players in the current WNBA landscape, arguably the most popular. Her popularity started during her time in college basketball with the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has rejected labels such as the “enforcer” and “bodyguard” after being praised for protecting teammate Caitlin Clark. On June 15, 2025, Cunningham earned those tags following her altercation with former Connecticut Sun player Jacy Sheldon.

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...

When the WNBA announced the participants for this year’s 3-Point Contest at All-Star Weekend, fans noted that Sabrina Ionescu was missing from the list. ESPN’s Alexa Philippou later reported that the New York Liberty star (along with Caitlin Clark and Kayla McBride) had “declined” an invitation by the league to compete in the event.

Caitlin Clark’s latest technical foul may have cost her $1,000, but WNBA analyst Mariah Rose believes the bigger issue could be the long-term impact on her career. “Crying to the refs is not beneficial to your career,” Rose said on her Hoops for Hotties podcast.

But when they get there, they’ll do so with at least one win in their pocket, a 99-98, overtime victory over the Dallas Wings on Monday night that snapped a four-game losing streak.
