Just wanted to say that I think it’s really great that Paige and Azzi were able to talk about their relationship on their own terms. One of the amazing things about covering wbb is the fun, intersecting relationships. They all look different but they’re all pros.

How's this look, @kstokes41? 😅
Golden State was 6th on the leaderboard when we posted it on July 26, but went 13-4 from there!
ESPN Analytics had the Valkyries as title favorites by August 10. Sorry we were a little late to the party 🏆

Chris DeMarco is out in New York. What's next for the Liberty, what went wrong and who might be among the next coaching candidates?

Breaking: Chris DeMarco will not be retained as head coach of the New York Liberty, sources told ESPN. In his sole year at the helm, New York went 26-18 and was the No. 8 seed in the playoffs before getting swept by the Atlanta Dream in the semifinals. The Liberty will now seek their third head coach in three years.

At halftime, @VandyWBB has 63 points vs. Lipscomb, while @GamecockWBB has 61 points vs. Maryland. The Bisons & Terps might need to call the Valkyries for some defensive tips. 😊 Seriously, Vanderbilt & South Carolina look really locked in.

USC's JuJu Watkins is back and maybe better than ever, 588 days after injury.

The Valkyries became the first team to win the WNBA title without a single All-WNBA selection that season.
But they clinched the championship on Saturday because they had the biggest star on the court.

“Hell yeah, we’re going to win a championship.”

"We'll be back," Angel Reese said. There are many reasons for @AtlantaDream to feel very good about next season after their WNBA Finals run this year. espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/503…
The Valkyries became the first team in WNBA history to win the title without a single all-WNBA selection in that same season.
Gabby Williams may not have gotten the nod this year, but she's now the 2026 WNBA Finals MVP and a WNBA champion.
