The WNBA pod for beginners 🏀 Kristen & John attack our baseline knowledge of the WNBA! Around the W news, reacts, and vibes. 📍 PHILLY 2030!! #WNBA #Unrivaled #NCAA #Philly #UD
UCLA has announced the hiring of Assistant Coach Noelle Quinn to their coaching staff. What might that mean for Unrivaled this upcoming season? #WNBA
And there goes KP to PHX! PHX sends Monique Akoa Makani, and 2027 1st and a 2028 2nd to LA for Plum. We'll see if PHX can make a late season push, but if they miss the playoffs I like the value in the return for LA. If PHX is able to keep Plum long term, then I love this trade for them. #WNBA
AT with 26 is insane. Jess Shepard jumping to 2nd place in half a season is INSANE #wnba From @mercuryphx.bsky.social
A powerhouse is returning... Napheesa Collier is PROBABLE for tomorrow afternoon's game vs the Seattle Storm! #WNBA
A couple that wins together 💪🏻💪🏻 Congratulations to all of tonight's ESPY winners!
Props to Cheryl for becoming the winningest coach in #WNBA history! Such a cute pick by Phee on her IG.
Official returns of the first batch of #WNBA All Star voting:
#wnba All Star voting starts Thursday June 11 to June 27! Don't forget to vote for your faves every day!
Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty and Olivia Miles of the Minnesota Lynx have been named #WNBA Eastern and Western Conference Players of the week for week 4.
And STILL A'ja has 20 points, 6 rebounds halfway through the 2nd #wnba
Digging into the full CBA (available on the Player Association website) but it's interesting to see what the possible maximum regular season games could be going forward: 50 games max in 2027 & 2028 52 games max in 2029 Doesn't mean it would be that many games, but probably will be. #WNBA
A'ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart have been named the Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week for #WNBA Week 1.
Did not see this one coming... Chicago Sky 2025 1st rounder Ajsa Sivka has committed to the University of Kentucky. #WNBA
Sad day for the #WNBA, as Tina Charles has announced her retirement, via her Instagram. Her statement below:
Helpful breakdown of the nationally broadcast games, provided by @alexaphilippou.bsky.social #WNBA
Appears to be the case as far as steamers are concerned.
#WNBA communications has released details of this year's broadcast schedule:
Aliyah Boston has signed a MEGA extension! At 4-years totaling $6.3 Million through 2029, she'll account for 20% of the team's total salary cap, as a result of the new EPIC provision. She'll make $1 million this year. Per, @alexaphilippou.bsky.social and @kendra-andrews.bsky.social #WNBA
To the surprise of no one, A'ja gets the biggest bag. The 4 time MVP inked a 3-year, $5 Million Supermax contact with the Aces. #WNBA
Yeah, I think Phoenix is ready to go! #WNBA
Another big shoe dropping: The previously mentioned Rickea Jackson for Ariel Atkins trade has been confirmed. #WNBA
Gabby Williams latest on IG 👀 Vs up?? #WNBA
WE'VE GOT A TRADE! Diamond Miller is moving to Connecticut in return for Rayah Marshall in what will save Dallas $259,088 on their books. #WNBA
Indiana Fever training facility renderings just dropped 👀👀👀 #WNBA
Gotta say, having futures odds and win total over unders before free agency is complete or even really started seems... silly? #WNBA
Interesting nugget from ESPN's #WNBA Free Agency Primer: Looks like the Portland Fire will be very interested in bringing in free agent talent! On the pod we originally talked about them having a roster that felt like it would be pretty static, but maybe that won't be the case.
