“This should've been solved weeks ago, and definitely at the same time Games 3 and 4 were solved," one source said.
Said another: "The fact we are making these decisions so we can play a WNBA game at a larger arena is the best news of all. ... It just has to be scheduled better in advance. Moving games is much harder now than it would have been a week ago."
Nobody knows where or even when WNBA Finals Game 6 will be played despite a furious round of negotiations spilling into Sunday between the WNBA, NBA, Valkyries, Dream and Atlanta Hawks, sources told @alexaphilippou and @ramonashelburne: spr.ly/6015BH5Zyb

Caleb Williams is the most recognizable star in Chicago sports. That comes with carrying the mantle of a franchise savior at a time where Chicago's sports future is brighter than ever.
A look inside Williams' friendships with the city's biggest sports figures - from Pete Crow-Armstrong to Matas Buzelis - and how showing up for each other fuels their desire for greatness.

Nothing will change about how the Spurs navigate sky-high expectations coming off a surprising run to the Finals. The approach dates all the way back to coach Pop.

Tyrese Haliburton is back. And in a more competitive Eastern Conference, he's out to prove the Indiana Pacers can reclaim their spot at the top.
"He's so anxious to prove to people... He's like, 'I've been out 16 effing months. I'm ready to play.'

"At this stage of his career, if he's going to sacrifice all that he does to be able to play at a high level, it has to be in service of winning a championship"

Conversations with more than 20 stakeholders in and around the WNBA offer a general belief that for as much business growth as Cathy Engelbert has overseen, she's not the right person to navigate the demands the league currently faces and what its stakeholders now need.
"I do think Cathy thinks, well, she's done her job. She got us financially set up the right way. It's the other pieces that we're talking about."

Some news, as the kids say.
Thank you to all of my colleagues at @ESPN for letting me live out my childhood dreams the last 7-plus years.
And thank you to Onsi Saleh, Tony and Nick Ressler and the rest of the @ATLHawks for an incredible opportunity.
Fired up to get started.

After leading the Cavaliers to the Eastern Conference finals, Mitchell could have waited until next summer for an additional fifth season worth an extra $80 million but instead committed early on a long-term extension on the first day he was eligible for a new contract to stamp his pledge to the city of Cleveland. This marks the second extension for Mitchell since arriving to Cleveland in 2022.
