They were supposed to take a step forward after being bounced in the first round by the Phoenix Mercury last season. That’s part of the reason why they fired their championship-winning coach and went through a lengthy search process that led to the hiring of long-time NBA assistant Chris DeMarco. But roughly a year later, they find themselves worse off, with a 26-18 record — one more loss than last year’s tea

Will the Atlanta Dream’s defense prove that defense really does win championships?

Making All-WNBA selections was very tough considering the field of candidates.

Two losing teams have the chance to become a long-term winner.

Paige Bueckers has quietly put together one of the most impressive individual seasons in the WNBA this year, although she hasn’t been one of the MVP candidates as many predicted at the start of the season.

Caitlin Clark's defense helped the Fever beat the Lynx. Clark scored 27 points, but she also had seven rebounds, nine assists and four steals.

Angel Reese and Breanna Stewart will be facing off in what could be either player’s final regular-season game of the 2026 WNBA campaign. For WNBA legend Candace Parker, this game already carries a playoff-level feel to it, and she has already made up her mind about who comes out on top after forty minutes on Wednesday night.

This is an ominous sign for Minnesota.

A source says the WNBA has no expansion plans beyond what’s been announced.
