Marine Johannés is back with the New York Liberty after missing all of 2024 due to overseas commitmens. This will mark her 4th season with the Liberty having played for New York in 2019, 2022 & 2023. She's the last Liberty player to remain with the team that played in Westchester. #WNBA

The New York Liberty has re-signed guard Marine Johannès to a one-year contract. Story TK.

A lot to unpack in today's @theixnewsletter.bsky.social. But here's what I take away most from @howardmegdal.bsky.social reporting: - The #WNBA and #WNBPA have met around twice a month addressing CBA negotiations. - It is not a forgone conclusion that Paige Bueckers will be playing for the Wings.

Dearica Hamby for the win over the top seeded Lunar Owls

Libs get Cloud, Lunar Owls lose, what a night of basketball

HOOTIE HOOOOOOOOOOO

Kolb signing Izzy to encourage Cloud to put pressure on the Sun to accept their trade = absolute genius, vanguard of women's sports GMing

CLOUD!!!!!!!

today in Gender and Sports: at the NCAA rifle championships, one of the few NCAA sports not separated into men's and women's championships, female shooters won both individual championships and 5/6 medal spots. a lone Braden reached the podium alongside them

Hear me out: what if Stewie got injured when Alanna Smith fouled her in game 5

🚨NEW WORDS ALERT🚨 With the @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social regular season over with, it’s time for Award talk! I have a media ballot this year (!!!), so you can find my picks — and some predictions on how I think things will shake out — riiiiight here: bleacherreport.com/articles/251...

Something tells me we won't hear anything about BLH until the injury report the day before the Libs' first game

Desperate for Betnijah news...

in california they let dogs play basketball. teams of nothing but golden retrievers. they're pushing the human children out of sports because the rulebook doesn't explicitly say they can't play.

WNBA and NWSL crossover. 🤝 Sabrina Ionescu has joined the NWSL’s Bay FC as an investor and commercial advisor. #WNBA #WNBASky

NEWS: Serena Williams is joining the ownership group for the Toronto Tempo, the WNBA's newest expansion team, the team announced. 📸 @torontotempo/IG

Betnijah looking good

Stop sending WNBA players to states hostile to LGBTQ people and abortion

Please someone get Sabrina a stylist

The Liberty have hired Andrew Wade — currently the head coach of Laces Basketball Club —as their new Director of Player Development Wade, previously with the Mystics, has received high praise throughout the winter from Laces players and was intentional about connecting with them prior to the season

Anyone seen any details about Nyara's injury?

Queen Phlop? Is that something?

If case you were wondering about Natasha Cloud’s trade to Connecticut, during Unrivaled media availability, she revealed she found about the trade when we did. “Being told I was going to retire as a Phoenix Mercury, and then to be shipped out and find out with you guys social media …”

If you want Steph vs CC in a 3 point contest, Steph could always do it at WNBA All-Star weekend…

The political attacks on trans youth in sport the last several years genuinely makes me want to punch someone in the face

When do we getting reporting on why the Aces fell apart? I have theories but...

No they need to tell us what the heck happened in details with Adam Harrington #Unrivaled

Manifesting Tash in seafoam

After missing out on Satou Sabally, where do the reigning WNBA champion Liberty go from here? Our New York beat reporter @classicjpow.bsky.social breaks down their moves and looks at the next steps ⬇️ www.thenexthoops.com/features/whe...

Anyone seen reporting re why Satou ended up in Phoenix rather than New York?

Idk if this is a controversial opinion, but: In choosing where to add more teams, the WNBA should prioritize keeping players in states that have protections for LGBTQ+ people and abortion.

Kelsey Plum shares an official goodbye message to the Aces via Instagram: “Now this chapter closes and our time together comes to an end, but I’ll never forget my time in Vegas, nor the profound impact it’s had on my life.”

In Kolb we trust

I wanna know why AT went to Phoenix over Lynx (have to assume everyone would have been thrilled to have her)

We need some reporting on why Plum wanted out. I can imagine a number of explanation -- her divorce, wanting to be the centerpiece of a team, etc. -- but all just speculation.

Curious what Jewell's massive contract means for chances of Aces also landing Griner. Had seemed like a nice fit.

This doesn't make any sense for the Sparks unless they are confident Plum stays
