Napheesa Collier was well-known to WNBA fans before last season, but her exit interview following the 2025 campaign made headlines across the sports world. Her pointed criticism of league leadership and player compensation brought wide-ranging attention to the labor battle gripping the WBNA, as well as to Collier’s proposed solution: establishing an alternative league to address the problem. In 2023, she and fellow women’s hoops star Breanna Stewart founded Unrivaled, a 3-on-3 league featuring t

WNBPA vice president Breanna Stewart said Friday that the letter to players' union executive director Terri Jackson earlier this week was intended to "get the entire [executive committee] back on track" to get the best CBA possible.

New York Liberty owner Clara Wu Tsai has a vested interest in getting the most out of female athletes. What she found when she took over the team in 2019 was a major gap in data and training compared to what's available for men. “Most of the sport science research has been on male subjects and findings applied to women,” Wu Tsai said in a phone interview.

There are plenty of questions about Unrivaled's future, but the start-up league had significant wins on the road in 2026

WNBPA executive committee members Kelsey Plum and Breanna Stewart wrote a three-page letter Monday to players' union executive director Terri Jackson expressing "serious concerns about how the PA is handling the current negotiations" for a new CBA.

Ever since she was selected as the first overall by Phoenix Mercury in the 2004 WNBA Draft, Diana Taurasi never looked back. Taurasi won three WNBA titles with the Mercury in 2007, 2009 and 2014. Last February, Taurasi announced her retirement, marking an end to her gilded career with the Mercury.

A single player can open the door. But sustaining an entire industry? That takes something bigger.

Indiana Fever's guard Caitlin Clark has been thriving in the WNBA ever since she was selected as the No. 1 draft pick over two years ago. Alongside her basketball craft, she also brought a new wave of fans to the WNBA who were already following her throughout her college basketball days. The league witnessed a big spike in viewership in 2024 whenever Clark appeared on the court.

A virtual WNBA Players Association meeting Tuesday turned contentious as members clashed over the best path forward in ongoing collective bargaining negotiations, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the session. A key point of friction was the approach to a potential strike authorized in a near-unanimous vote last December. Multiple sources said more than half of player leadership reaffirmed their commitment to striking if necessary. However, some players have reversed cour...

The WNBA is growing at a rapid pace and the recent announcement made by the union leadership made it evident. On Monday, it was revealed that the league made enough revenue during the 2025 season to trigger revenue sharing among its players. As a result, all teams are going to get a big collective payout, including the Los Angeles Sparks, co-owned by former NBA and LA Lakers legend Magic Johnson.

Former NBA star Allen Iverson is mourning the loss of a close friend and "home girl." Iverson, one of the NBA's best players of the 2000s, is mourning the loss of WNBA star Kara Braxton. The two-time WNBA champion and former WNBA All-Star died in a car accident over the weekend. She was just 43 ...

Braxton was in a single car crash outside of Atlanta. Here's what we know about how the 43-year-old mother of two died.

The Vinyl beat the Lunar Owls 75-68 on Monday night to complete the six-team Unrivaled playoff field, with coach Teresa Weatherspoon saying, "They knew what was at stake."

Kara Braxton, a two-time WNBA champion with the Detroit Shock and former SEC freshman of the year at Georgia, has died at the age of 43.

The WNBA and its players union held a virtual meeting Monday to try and further negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement, a person familiar with the discussions told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the negotiations. It was the first meeting between the two sides that involved players and the league since they met at the WNBA offices on Feb. 2.

Two-time WNBA champion Kara Braxton died after being in a car crash in Atlanta on Saturday. The athletic department at Georgia, where Braxton played in college, texted The Associated Press confirmation of her death on Monday and posted on social media. Braxton last played in the WNBA in 2014 while finishing up a four-year stint with New York.

Caitlin Clark saw her second WNBA season with the Indiana Fever end early, appearing in just 13 games in 2025 because of multiple injuries, including issues with her groin and ankle. While Clark was forced to watch from the bench for much of 2025, she made the most of her opportunities when she was on the court.

Statistically, 2025 was not a great year for WNBA star Brittney Griner. After playing the first 11 seasons of her career with the Phoenix Mercury, the 6-foot-9 center took her talents to the Atlanta Dream before the start of the season. Griner joined the Dream as their starting center.

Nearly a year ago, Marina Mabrey sparked controversy when she shoved Caitlin Clark during a WNBA game. She now says she went too far.
