The Sun are staying at Mohegan Sun Arena, it would appear. For one more season at least.

How the lack of certainty about everything in 2026 and Boston's inability to put together a legitimate ownership team have the Mohegan Tribe pressing pause and possibly setting up a bidding war. #WNBA
Sun set to return to Uncasville in 2026: Shocked, but not that shocked

Anyone have any links to Chinese league games?
Yeah, the headline is bad, but the quotes in the article are much worse, believe me.
Some sports gamblers are trying to predict WNBA players’ performance—and the outcomes of games—based on the athletes’ periods. One betting content creator has dubbed it “blood money." www.wired.com/story/men-ar...

A'ja Wilson sticking it to Cathy by setting up a sweep and costing the league revenue. #WNBA
Hey, Mohegan Tribe: Tomorrow's a good day to sue the league if you want. Would have some support from places you might never expect. #WNBA
NEW Wheelhouse, Wednesday October 1 on @ctpublic.bsky.social. What’ll it take to keep the @ctsunwnbanews.bsky.social in Connecticut? @blumenthal.senate.gov (D-Conn.) addresses a letter he wrote to the WNBA. We’ll also talk to him about the prospect of a government shutdown.
How much to release those exit interviews? I got a few bucks laying around.
The Dallas Wings have released a statement on the firing of Chris Koclanes.
Gonna have to order Peacock again?
The WNBA has reached an 11-year media rights deal to broadcast games on USA Network, including at least 50 games a year, with playoff games. The deal begins w/ the 2026 season.

It's an expansion of the deal the WNBA reached with NBC in 2024. Versant, which runs USA Net., spun out from NBC this year

Blessed are you when people hate you and exclude you from their #WNBA All-Rookie ballots on account of you being on the roster of the Connecticut Sun.

Rejoice on that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven.

Guess I can bust this shirt out tomorrow: #WNBA
From a pure trolling standpoint, this is masterful and I respect it.
New: WNBA assigned the same three officials to Fever-Aces today that had Game 3 of Lynx-Mercury on Friday.

Isaac Barnett, Randy Richardson, Jenna Reneau.

Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve was ejected, then suspended one game for conduct and criticism of the crew & operations.
People are going to tie this to Reeve and the officials, but the play in question was not even a foul.

Sadly, nuance left for greener pastures in our country long ago.
Napheesa Collier (left ankle) is OUT tomorrow against the Mercury.
The delay from Reeve means I'm sure she did it for show and for Game 4. Unless something was said to her.
Alyssa Thomas steals the ball from Phee, Cheryl Reeve asolutely loses her mind and has to be held back by several members of the staff before finally leaving after being ejected. Phee's leg collided with Thomas's and she rolled her ankle badly

Last year's 1 on 1 superstar, it's Aaliyah Edwards!

Wondered all season why teams up 3 don't foul in the final seconds in the WNBA. Routine in college basketball these days, although I'm no analytics expert. #WNBA
Do the Liberty throw bags of money at Natalie Nakase or Becky Hammon to try to get them to move? Now that would be spicy. #WNBA
Wild to me that Sandy Brondello is out of a job, while Chris Koclanes and Tyler Marsh are not, but what do I know?
With Sandy Brondello out, Cheryl Reeve has officially been on the job longer than every other WNBA coach combined.

Cheryl Reeve's tenure: 5768 days
Every other WNBA coach combined: 4529 days
