The LA Sparks are shaking things up at the top, firing GM Raegan Pebley after a challenging 39-66 record in her first season. Her tenure coincided with a coaching change — Curt Miller was replaced by Lynne Roberts, who led the team to a 21-23 record. Pebley, a former college coach and WNBA player, now steps aside as assistant GMs Zach Knowlton and Nate Nielsen take over. With the team at 10-11 and aiming to return to playoff contention after missing since 2020, the Sparks are looking to turn things around — while honoring Pebley’s contributions and wishing her well in her next chapter.

Aubrey Plaza, pregnant and deadpan, crashed an Indiana Fever practice and took on rookie Caitlin Clark with her signature sarcasm—narrating the whole thing while joking about her own WNBA dreams and ACL woes. She even gave Clark dubious defensive advice, calling missed shots “bricks” and asking for more to build a house. Plaza’s antics, from crutches at the All-Star Game to courtside comedy, cement her as the WNBA’s most devoted (and hilarious) fan. Meanwhile, the New York Liberty, despite a three-game skid, remain Finals contenders under new coach Chris DeMarco, as Plaza’s viral energy helps amplify the league’s cultural moment.

WNBA’s playoff race is heating up as the season hits its stride—with historic coaching milestones, a stacked rookie class, and expansion teams making waves. The Minnesota Lynx lead the power rankings despite Napheesa Collier’s injury, with Coach Cheryl Reeve now the all-time wins leader. Las Vegas Aces are riding wild swings, while Golden State Valkyries’ seven-game win streak makes them the hottest team—still without a win over Lynx or Aces. Dallas Wings chase franchise records on a five-game run, and Indiana Fever are surging with Kelsey Mitchell averaging nearly 28 points per game. All eyes now turn to Chicago for the All-Star Game before the postseason push.

The WNBA’s playoff race is heating up as top teams like the Lynx, Aces, and Valkyries battle for dominance, with the Valkyries on a six-game win streak and elite defense. Azzi Fudd is primed to break 15 points against Toronto, while the Liberty vs. Lynx game looks low-scoring—under 172.5 points expected. And don’t sleep on Rhyne Howard: she’s scoring 19+ in four straight games and should carry the Dream past their slump.

Aja Wilson is on track for a repeat MVP crown, dominating the WNBA with historic stats and leading the Aces to the league’s second-best record. With 25.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, and elite shooting efficiency, she’s now the overwhelming favorite, pulling ahead of Paige Bueckers, Olivia Miles, and Caitlin Clark. While Bueckers revitalizes the Wings and Miles leads the Lynx without their star, Wilson’s consistency and team success make her the clear frontrunner. Clark’s strong season is fading in odds as efficiency and team performance lag behind. With the All-Star break looming, Wilson’s MVP run looks unstoppable.

WNBA All-Star break looms as the Minnesota Lynx, undefeated at home and riding a 17-6 record, take on a struggling Phoenix Mercury squad they’ve already beaten twice this season. The Mercury, reeling after a brutal 48-point loss and sitting in 11th place in net rating, look vastly different from last year’s Finals team. Meanwhile, Atlanta Dream, featuring one of the league’s top rebounders, are favored against the improving but still vulnerable Los Angeles Sparks. And don’t miss the prop bet: Dearica Hamby, averaging fewer boards than in past seasons, is projected to stay under 8.5 rebounds tonight against Atlanta’s dominant frontcourt.

Paige Bueckers dropped 34 points as the Dallas Wings crushed the expansion Toronto Tempo 108-95, drawing a record-breaking 20,996 fans at Montreal’s Bell Centre—the biggest WNBA regular-season crowd ever. Despite the loss, the Tempo’s Marina Mabrey also poured in 34 points, and the Canadian franchise is using the historic night to fuel their mission to grow women’s basketball across the country. With more games scheduled in Montreal and Vancouver, the Tempo are on a four-game losing streak but determined to make their mark. The record crowd echoes the Bell Centre’s recent surge in women’s sports attendance, and the Wings are headed home to face Chicago.

Kelsey Mitchell dropped 29 points, including the game-winning layup with 10 seconds left, as the Indiana Fever edged the Phoenix Mercury 92-89 in a gritty, clutch showdown. With Caitlin Clark sidelined, Mitchell and Aliyah Boston (21 points) led the charge, while Sophie Cunningham sealed the win with critical free throws. Phoenix’s Alyssa Thomas and Kahleah Copper each scored 22, but couldn’t overcome Indiana’s late surge. After heated clashes and suspensions in recent matchups, this game was pure basketball—no drama, just drama-free execution under the lights.
