A'ja Wilson

Robert Griffin III sparks debate with his WNBA MVP list, ranking Caitlin Clark above A'ja Wilson & praising Kelsey Mitchell's standout play.

For a season that started with far more questions than answers, head coach Sydney Johnson and his team have found a recipe to compete with the leagues top talents, and are now posing new, more welcome ques...

Elite defender. Broken shooter. But she’s still winning games.

The 2026 WNBA MVP race is heating up as the regular season enters its final stretch. Here are our current rankings of the top candidates.

In a candid exchange with WNBA legend Candace Parker, Aliyah Boston wasn’t best pleased with the league’s officiating following a call during the Indiana Fever’s loss to the Las Vegas Aces. During a highly physical Indiana Fever matchup against A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces, the officials called a defensive blocking foul, judging that the defender made body contact against Wilson using her hip while sliding laterally rather than establishing a completely legal guarding position.

All the stars are out on Tuesday night.

From Comets-Liberty and Lynx-Sparks to Wilson-Gray and the StudBudz, the feuds and friendships that have shaped 30 years of the WNBA

Over the past several weeks, Sophie Cunningham has sparked a wide-ranging conversation about whether or not transgender women should be able to play in women’s sports as she spoke out against what she referred to as “biological men” playing in women’s sports. While there is not a single transgender woman currently in the WNBA or…

The WNBA has all of our attention, but now I just want to look away. The league of powerful women — Caitlin Clark exploring the boundaries of the game like an abstract painter, Olivia Miles personifying the rebirth of slick, Breanna Stewart pulling out new tricks from her offensive arsenal, A'ja Wilson shapeshifting nightly into a GOAT — feels less like a sport and more like a societal powder keg. It has spiraled into a rinse-and-repeat drama. A Black player clotheslines a White player, and it's

The attention that the WNBA is receiving for off-court topics instead of the tremendous on-court action has led to Bill Simmons slamming the league’s leadership. The WNBA is having a phenomenal on-court season with the rise of Olivia Miles, Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell’s high-scoring Fever, and the continued brilliance of A’ja Wilson.

Becky Hammon made a good point about the Aces' absurd back-to-back.

Las Vegas has scratched A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young for Sunday afternoon's game against the Liberty, the second game of a road back-to-back.

The first-place Minnesota Lynx, who defeated the Las Vegas Aces 98-87 on Saturday afternoon to improve to 26-7 on the season, clinched a WNBA playoff berth.

Sunday’s WNBA Rivals Week slate begins with the league’s still-reigning premier rivalry, with the Las Vegas Aces visiting the New York Liberty (12:30 p.m. ET, ABC). However, with a less-than-24-hour turnaround since their Saturday tip off, the Aces, rather justifiably, might be punting this one, as A’ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young all are questionable to play due to rest. Then, the No. 1 a...

Sabrina Ionescu and the New York Liberty are riding a three-game winning streak, jumping to 19-13 on the 2026 WNBA season after Wednesday's 92-68 win over Dominique Malonga and the Seattle Storm. Now, the Liberty will look to keep the streak alive on Sunday when A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces come to town. New York got off to an up-and-down start under first-year head coach Chris DeMarco, beginning the season with a 13-12 record.

A'ja Wilson is the frontrunner to land her fifth MVP in seven years. Olivia Miles and Caitlin Clark are hoping to close the gap in the coming weeks, though.

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.
