Mitchell has authored greatest 3-point shooting season in W history (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After the best 3-point shooting season in WNBA history, can Kelsey Mitchell shoot the Fever into the semifinals? This year, Kelsey Mitchell became the first player in WNBA history to lead the league in both made threes and 3-point percentage in the same season. She cashed in on 135 triples at a 45 percent clip, which is phenomenal efficiency for that volume; it’s the highest single-season percentage out of those who have made 100 or more 3s. For a career, it’s not unprecedented, as Jennifer Azzi
Unique in Uncasville: After a farewell season that has honored franchise legends, the Connecticut Sun are set to play their final game (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Sun will play their final game on Thursday. But the memories will stay in Connecticut. Ultimately, the Connecticut Sun never won a championship. That’s hard to take for their group of highly-competitive legends. But it’s clear that they have nothing to hang their head about. From four-straight trips to the semifinals (including two to the Finals) under Mike Thibault to six-straight trips (including two more to the Finals) under Curt Miller and Stephanie White, the Sun created a standard of w

Carla Leite is the special talent firing up the relaunched Portland Fire (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Carla Leite is proving to be the perfect player for the relaunched Portland Fire. There was Sophia Witherspoon in 2000, averaging 16.8 points per game and shooting 36.8 percent from 3. There was Jackie Stiles in 2001, averaging 14.9 points per game and shooting 43.1 percent from beyond the arc. There was Alisa Burras in 2002, shooting 62.9 percent from the field in helping the team to their first non-losing season at 16-16. Those are the Portland Fire stars of old, from back when the team first
Why the Minnesota Lynx and Indiana Fever face the most pressure in the WNBA playoffs—and why the Las Vegas Aces face the least (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Lynx, Fever, Dream and Liberty face a lot more playoff pressure than the Valkyries, Mystics, Wings and Aces. As the 2026 WNBA postseason approaches, I have a feeling that all eight playoff teams will hold their own and make it an interesting first round. Any team could go on to win it all, but some teams need to win more than others. So instead of picking who is most likely to win, let’s rank the teams in order of who faces the most pressure to deliver a championship. In the comments, let us
