With two decades of dominance possibly in the rearview mirror, here’s a refresher on a few of the next gen hoopers lighting up the postseason.

The legendary Candace Parker retired yesterday, but her impact on and involvement in the game will undoubtedly endure. Here’s to her truly game-changing career and even more to come.

WNBA legend Candace Parker announced her retirement yesterday, and like everything else she does, Parker did it differently. In the announcement, she outlined plans to ramp up her business aspirations, which include owning a WNBA team and an NBA team.

With another weekend of high-stakes hoopla in the books, some superstars are flexing on the hardwood, while others are pre-planning trips to Cancun…or the doctor’s office.

Before the W season tips off on May 14th, there’s preseason — and before preseason, there’s training camp. For experienced pros, each team’s camp provides a chance to jell with new and old teammates and get back into the swing of the season. But, for recently-drafted rookies and older, unaffiliated players who receive training camp contracts, these are high-stakes tryouts. While they sign on to practice with the team through preseason, an official WNBA debut is far from guaranteed.

After close calls in both Denver and New York on Monday, the Milwaukee Bucks became the first home team to lose this postseason after the Indiana Pacers beat them 125–108 last night.

Caitlin Clark continues to dominate headlines as she heads into her first WNBA season. While we wait for Clark to bring her game to the Indiana Fever’s court, here’s the latest on how she’s changing the women’s basketball (business) game.

The Play-In Tournament is done and dusted, and the first round Game 1s are already in the books, but superstar injuries are taking center stage as the high-stakes hoopla continues.

We’ve got news for the “Caitlin Clark is taking a pay cut” crowd: She’s expected to hit another payday as she steps into the WNBA limelight. Recent reports indicate Clark is close to signing an eight-figure signature shoe deal with Nike worth over $20M with the potential for bonuses.

Love it or hate it, the NBA Play-In Tournament delivered with last night’s thrilling Western Conference (WC) tip-off, giving way to tonight’s Eastern Conference (EC) double-header. Nothing like high- stakes hoops.

With league enthusiasm (and lewks) at an all-time high, what comes next for the W’s newbies?

The WNBA has come a long way from basketball’s problematic dress code and gendered expectations, finally allowing players the freedom to wear what they want. Women’s sports leagues are leaning into this now more than ever thanks to increased exposure, which makes athletes worthwhile investments for luxury brands.
