From a shoe phone capturing all the action to the StudBudz streaming the non-stop party, WNBA All-Star Weekend truly left no crumbs…but players are still hungry for their rightful piece of the pie.

And it’s not just the typical Midwest summer weather — it’s WNBA All-Star Weekend (ASW), where the league’s best will converge on Indianapolis for two days of hoopla. Cue Smash Mouth and let’s go play.

The star-studded All-Star Weekend three-point contest lineup was revealed yesterday and Sunday’s Dallas Wings vs. Indiana Fever showdown drew historic numbers — but that’s not even the buzziest W news so far this week.

With the WNBA All-Star reserves announced, the stage is set for the league’s first-ever All-Star draft tomorrow at 7 p.m. ET — but as some stars align, other W news isn’t nearly as shiny. Let’s dig in.

The WNBA defined the relationship with three new cities on Monday, announcing expansion to Cleveland in 2028, Detroit in 2029, and Philadelphia in 2030. With an 18-team league looming, here are the green, red, and beige flags surrounding the news.

Think of today’s WNBA updates like an episode of Love Island — there’s a hot bombshell, a dramatic split, and something that just might break the internet. Cracking on…

The NBA Finals just wrapped, but the offseason machine never sleeps — just ask the ever-growing list of traded players who’ve swapped threads in the last few days. And that’s not the only hoopla to keep an eye on: The 79th NBA Entry Draft begins tonight at 8 p.m. ET. It’s time to capture the flag(g).

Looking for more tea? Enter: The WNBA, where a cuppa is served on the daily, from buzzy off-court headlines to spicy on-court action. Order up.

Get used to seeing the Minnesota Lynx’s Napheesa Collier and the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark go head-to-head. Not only were the superstars named All-Star Game captains yesterday, but they’ll also square off in tomorrow’s 8 p.m. ET Commissioner’s Cup. Hoop yeah.

For the seventh straight season, there wasn’t a repeat NBA champ — and this year, the confetti fell on the Oklahoma City Thunder, who pummeled the Indiana Pacers 103–91 in last night’s Game 7, capping off a storybook postseason.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (up 3-2) are one win away from raising their first championship banner since 1979 (back when they were the Seattle SuperSonics). Let’s ball.

Last night’s six-game slate was pure cinema, notably locking in the Commissioner’s Cup final before two teams go head-to-head for $500K on July 1st. Read on for who’s through, plus other buzzy headlines from around the WNBA.
