Yesterday, New York Liberty general manager (GM) Jonathan Kolb received the 2023 WNBA Basketball Executive of the Year award, and for good reason: he helped create an Avengers-level superteam that has majorly contributed to the team’s on-court and off-court success.

But things are just getting started as the rest of the first-round matchups get underway tonight.

After its most successful season ever (by numerous metrics), the WNBA is poised for an even bigger postseason.

In perhaps the biggest heist story since Nicolas Cage stole the Declaration of Independence, the NY Knicks filed a lawsuit against the Toronto Raptors and their parent company, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE), on Monday, alleging that the Raps’ new head coach and a former Knicks scouting employee conspired to steal thousands of videos and other scouting information over the past few weeks.

The NY Liberty overpowered the Las Vegas Aces 82–63 in last night’s Commissioner's Cup game, earning the seafoam superstars their first-ever Commish Cup title and a cool $30K bonus per player.

The WNBA’s third annual Commissioner’s Cup game — an in-season battle for hardware and moola — tips off tomorrow at 9 p.m. ET (on Prime Video), featuring the defending champ and Western Conference–leading Las Vegas Aces vs. the Eastern Conference top-dog NY Liberty.

Sleep schedules and time zones be damned, there’s been a full court press of WNBA news in the last few days. No rest for the women’s sports fan.

The fifth season of Nike’s NYvsNY high school basketball tournament is well underway, and on August 5th, the best girls’ hoopers in the city will hit the courts for the Girls Jamboree kick-off games, a showcase for the next generation of elite hoopers.

The WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and their NBA brother squad, the Suns, announced Friday that they’ll both move forward with their previously reported TV deal with Gray Sports.

Now it’s all eyes on the playoff push, with the second half of the season tipping off tomorrow.

From the history of the contest to all the deets on the squads, today’s Special Edition has everything you need to know before the first-ever ASG primetime tip-off.

Here’s a sports biz look at this year’s midseason showcase by the numbers.
