Wrote about Cathy Engelbert getting suspended. Oh, wait...that was just random clickbait that some AI videos ran with for clicks? Well, I wrote about how AI fake news is plaguing the WNBA, then. fansided.com/wnba-commiss...

Knicks fired their head coach but SportsCenter led with the Minnesota Lynx. Small victories, folks.

If Arike Ogunbowale's scoring stays in single digits, it's the third single-digit scoring performance for Arike in 8 games. Arike had two single-digit performances in the past two years combined...

It's only recently been added to the media site, but there is now a #WNBA league-wide pronunciation guide for 2025. For what it's worth, they have this:

“It’s not PG13,” Noelle Quinn on her message to the team at halftime. Ope.

I know it’s cliche but part of rebounding is actually wanting to get the rebound more than an opponent.

The lack of a PG might be helping Dallas against Skylar. Diggins is getting assists but isn’t finding any offense against a bigger Dallas side. Seattle needs to put their bigs out there until they aren’t down by 13 rebounds (30-17, 11-1 offensive rebounds 😬)

This is pent up anger after watching three seasons of commentators and in-arena announcers trying to say Mikulášiková.

Dallas has to have a pronunciation guide. Not knowing how to say someone’s name isn’t funny when it’s your job to say their name.

Seattle is really trying to force it on the offensive end, with not much success.

Clark stared down the ref after hitting that three. The same ref who called a foul against her on the box out.

I’ve got good news and I’ve got good news. First, the good news: I’ve joined @thenext.bsky.social to cover Big Ten WBB and Cleveland WNBA. For four seasons I’ve covered OSU with everything I’ve got and this is achievement is the progression of that work.

Kaia Henderson joins Boston College. This after Ohio State picked up BC transfer T’Yana Todd.
