The WNBA season is in full swing, but despite some great games, basketball is easily the least talked-about topic in recent days.

The Lynx may own the league's best record, but Draymond isn't looking past the reigning champions just yet.

Caitlin Clark has strengthened her WNBA MVP argument by powering the Indiana Fever’s record-setting offense, but A’ja Wilson remains the player to catch in the award race. The Caitlin Clark MVP conversation is no longer based on popularity, potential or projection. Clark has produced the statistics, individual honors and team success necessary to earn serious consideration for the WNBA’s most prestigious individual award.

If her strong season continues, she will have a great shot at it.

Caitlin Clark is third in the WNBA in scoring (21.5 points) and second in assists (8.0) this season.

The Dallas Wings are all set to move to the $420 million American Airlines Center, home of the Dallas Mavericks, ahead of the 2027 WNBA season. As the team’s fanbase continues to grow, this decision seems like the right move, especially since Paige Bueckers has helped the team make a massive turnaround this season.

USA Basketball's long-awaited youth movement is here, as Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, Angel Reese and Aliyah Boston will make their first USA appearances at a major international competition next month at the FIBA World Cup in Germany.

Angel Reese draws fan fury for knocking Stephanie Talbot down and mocking her with no whistle in sight.

She missed the ball but caught something better.

The WNBA’s exponential financial growth has reached a staggering new milestone, and NBA legend Chris Bosh is making sure fans understand the magnitude of the moment. Following the historic announcement that Cleveland will become the home of the WNBA’s 16th franchise, officially named the Cleveland Sirens, the 2x NBA champion took to social media to celebrate the W’s trajectory and put the team’s massive expansion fee into a mind-boggling historical perspective.

However, in Atlanta, there is no Big 3; it’s just Howard attempting to raise the ceiling high enough for the Dream to raise a banner. In the Dream’s 96-82 win over the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday, she dominated. After trading for Kelsey Plum, the Mercury are clearly in win-now mode and fighting to make the postseason. But Howard was too ...

The debate around men competing in women’s sports has sparked plenty of hot takes, but this one comes from an unexpected corner. A former NFL player has weighed in on Julie Tétart’s scoring numbers, invoking a comparison that immediately raised eyebrows.

A flagrant foul on Angel Reese gets reversed on review during the same night she rewrites the WNBA record book.

Seven teams look like playoff locks. Here's how the Mystics, Sparks, Mercury, Sky, Fire or Tempo could be No. 8.

After Kelsey Plum was traded to the Mercury, most considered the Sparks' season over. But star Nneka Ogwumike is still focused on reaching the playoffs.

Kelsey Plum’s blockbuster deadline move to the Phoenix Mercury may have come a little too late for the Mercury to save their season. While many experts see it as a high-risk gamble by a team holding a 12-20 record, with a soon-to-be unrestricted free agent, one WNBA legend thinks the trade represents the chance for Plum to build a perennial championship contender.

Editor’s note: This article is part of our WNBA Trade Deadline coverage, following the moves reshaping the league. Let it never be said that the Phoenix Mercury are afraid to take chances. For the third consecutive season, the Mercury made a blockbuster trade to bring in a multi-time All-Star: first Kahleah Copper in 2024, then Alyssa Thomas and Satou Sabally in 2025 and now Kelsey Plum in 2026. Phoenix’s actions have made it clear this is a team that believes in reloading, not rebuilding. “Our

Veronica Burton could exhale at last, the final buzzer having sounded just moments earlier on a 20-point win over the Los Angeles Sparks, and then offer a shout out for two important people in the stands with the entire arena listening. What a two years it has been for Burton since Dallas let her go and she landed with the expansion Golden State Valkyries last season. On Friday, the league's reigning Most Improved Player will be in Dallas to go against the Wings team that cut her.

Wings fans shared their reactions as Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings suffered their most embarrassing defeat of the season on Wednesday against the Washington Mystics. The Wings were comfortably cruising with just over three minutes left in the third quarter, leading 76-56.

Angel Reese added another milestone to her growing résumé on Wednesday night at the Gateway Center Arena. The Atlanta Dream star recorded her 21st double-double of the season in Atlanta’s 96-82 home win over the Phoenix Mercury.

The Sparks couldn't build off of Sunday's win and dropped back to seven games under .500 with a loss to the Chicago Sky.

Dustin Satloff/Getty Images “These two-game series feel like a playoff series, and whether you win or lose, you’re both trying to guess, like, on the adjustments piece. But I do think the team that, usually, drops the first one is always going to end up trying to play harder and pick up the pressure and be more physical, and so we’re expecting some of that.” That was Head Coach Chris DeMarco previewing the New York Liberty’s Wednesday night matchup with the Seattle Storm, their second in thre...

During their streak of 10 wins, Minnesota already notched a win over the Sparks, which was win No. 4 in this stretch.
