Never forget. The Dallas Wings traded Marina Mabrey for Paige Bueckers.

WNBA stat watch: - Brittney Griner is 1 point from 6,000, 6 points behind Seimone Augustus (6,005 - 17th), and 8 behind Lauren Jackson (6,007 - 16th) - Breanna Stewart is 10 made free throws behind Tina Charles (1,471 - 8th) - Sabrina Ionescu is 2 rebounds from 1,000

The Sparks-Aces just completed a very entertaining game on network television. A few years ago, a network would not have broadcasted such a game. In the future, though, this will be quite common. And someday, the WNBA might surpass the NBA in popularity! wagesofwins.substack.com/p/the-econom...

Oh wait, I believe the Aces and Lynx are now tied. Seeing the Sparks go all out AND win was really exciting.

NEW: WNBA fans seems to really hate AI but that hasn’t stopped the league & players from partnering with AI companies. Or, the “girlbossification” of AI reaches the WNBA:

#wnba I am loving the energy and skills on display with both expansion teams. The Tempo having Sandy Brondello is such an advantage. But the Fire have been aptly named. Their competitive drive is making some cool things happen. I love the unsung and too young heroes on expansion teams.

Two weeks into the regular season, the Portland Fire are playing above expectations. Panned by many to finish at the bottom of the league, last night's 83-82 slugfest with the Connecticut Sun lifts the Fire's record to 2-2. Here's my game recap: www.portlandsupporter.com/p/portland-f... #WNBA

WNBA teams now have a perfect winning record when they let Holly Winterburn get on the bus. #WNBA

Now that we know WNBA revenue in 2025, we now know how badly the women were paid. In the end, WNBA players only got 5% of WNBA revenue!! This is in a league that is now growing at a much faster rate than the NBA ever grew! wagesofwins.substack.com/p/five-percent

I think WNBA crowds represent the best people in most cities (among those who can pay for tickets, lots of the best people can’t). I’ve been to WNBA games in Seattle, Chicago and Vancouver and the stadium feels so safe compared to men’s sports. No drink white dudes to avoid.

When the Lynx growls, the young [rookie] Lynx, over its prey, though a Shepard is summoned against her, she is not scared off by their noise or frightened by their roar. -Facts about Olivia Miles, found in Isaiah 31:4 #WNBA

Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten. -A reference to everyone in the #WNBA who gave up on #AUProHoops champion Odyssey Sims, found in Jeremiah 20:11

Odyssey Sims getting playing time and showing off is my vibe for the 2026 season. She’s spent years moving from one hardship contract to another while a single mom. I want all the good things for her.

Ew the whitening of the WNBA. It’s beyond replacing Black women in head coaching roles…

I think it’s reasonable to assume the Dream will figure out how to overcome their slow starts and win the whole damn thing at the end… but don’t sleep on the Lynx! #wnba

As the youngest WNBA player to record a double-double and achieve 100 career points, not to mention her dunking ability, Dominique Malonga's career is already promising, but she's also eyeing her future beyond the court and wants to launch an app one day. #BlackskyNews afrotech.com/seattle-stor...

Each woman shall ask her neighbor for jewelry of silver + gold + blazer hoodies. You shall adorn yourselves with them. So you shall plunder your adversary. -How Becky got her new cross, explained in Exodus 3:22 (This was also the Phoenix devotional before they ransacked the Aces on #WNBA ring night)

WATCH — @realdlhughley.bsky.social : “I don’t understand why a 4/5 star athlete would go to a school where the state is ushering in a new iteration of Jim Crow… if you can’t run in a state, don’t run in a state.” #Memphis #Louisiana #Tennessee #Alabama @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

Politically the best major US sport is the WNBA, and It Is Not Even Close

Check out who I just ran into.

Happy WNBA Opening Day! We made it! (Can someone please make a Rooting for the Lesbians shirt???)

🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

The NBA has $3 billion to cover potential losses in NBA Europe. Just a few years ago, though, it had to sell off 16% of the WNBA to find $75 million. If only the NBA believed in the WNBA as much as it believes in its ventures in Europe and Africa. www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/202...

RT @WNBAonNBC: From the UConn court to the state's Senate & House, Sue Bird is a Connecticut ICON. 🏀

I continue to think that "backlash politics" is the wrong frame. There has been a counter-revolution against the Black freedom movement for generations. It is a FRONTLASH and I think that not thinking of it this way has done a real disservice. It's been PERMANENT WAR.

#wnba someone remind me: who was Cloud traded for when she went to Connecticut?

Killing myself laughing about Sue Bird as the state bird for Connecticut

According to the players, the Grand Slams are giving tennis players less than 15% of the revenue. I am sure it is because the Grand Slams -- like the WNBA and NBA -- have lost millions. Right? Isn't that always the reason rich people can't pay athletes? www.espn.com/tennis/story...

#wnba The guy calling the Wings game reminds me of Bill Murray in Groundhog Day.

Kam Patterson jokes about Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson’s breakup on SNL: “Who even is this guy? Wait a minute, there’s a WNBA for men? What would you even call that? The MNBA? To me, he’s not Klay, he’s dirt.” https://www.fxoxo.com/291660/ Kam Patterson jokes about Megan Thee Stallion …

#wnba Thanks to @itsmeghanlhall.bsky.social for clarifying that only the top 5 picks are guaranteed contracts.

I am also confused. I saw this yesterday and then watched Dantas play today

OLIVIA MF MILES!!!💪🔥 #WNBA

The vibe from this trio is exactly what we want to see. Lighting each other up!

I don't care about a ballroom, but I don't think Trump should have a heavily defended ballroom BUNKER (which is part of the ballroom package). The guy who pardoned his followers for storming Congress shouldn't have that. This feels basic to me, and it should be a bigger part of the mainstream convo.

Every few days I think about how so much of this nonsense could have been avoided if Al Gore was elected president.

This is the administration that killed Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Silverio Villegas González. "We are all Cheryl Hines"? We are all the multi-millionaire wife of a man whose conspiracy theories and vanity politics are causing death and debilitation? For the love of literally anything, STFU.

I just released an army of bears to free this woman from jail.

Coach Jackie calls out Shaq for telling her to "stop reaching" and "get a real job," after she addressed Steven A. Smith sexually harassing Chiney Ogwumike on live broadcast. #WNBA

youtube.com/live/ySH7IXR... Love these two evaluating the Storm!

#wnba One of the most exciting storylines we’re likely to see is Chennedy Carter win the Most Improved Player award (by being her usual brilliant self plus staying on the court) this season. And there’s T’spoon in the background absolutely beaming with joy.

Good reminder: rookies have to be waived and then clear waivers or get put on the regular roster of another team. So we can’t assume they’re out of the league.

#wnba Want to talk obsessively about the WNBA and WBB? I celebrate the foundational and ongoing contributions of Black women who define basketball in the USA and Canada. I’m white, queer and trans masculine. Not here for meanness or bullshit narratives about the great white hope. I follow back!

I choose to watch the Valkyries and/or the Storm any day. Really invested in seeing these teams succeed, although maybe higher bar for the Valkyries. If the Storm make the playoffs this season, that would be huge. With luck around player health and a well executed plan, the Valkyries are trouble.

I am equally thrilled. Layshia Clarendon is brilliant about basketball and understands the contexts within which players move and how capitalism operates in the WNBA.

#wnba Am I the only person who wants to see a movie telling the story of how Stephanie White and Lisa Salters met and fell in love? I bet it’s such a good story.

And Jackie’s post is the only thing I’ve seen about this. Look up his name, and there’s only one article about this from fucking Yahoo New Zealand. And I know damn well nobody will notice this because of all the other bullshit he says #WNBA

#wnba Some of these suddenly thrown together teams are going to be so fun to watch; we will get to see them develop in real time. I’m totally excited about the season, driven early on by curiosity. Ultimately though, it’s Storm, Valkyries, Dream, Lynx and Tempo for me, in that order.

WHAT. THE. FUCK. #WNBA
