Unearthed trademark application may have revealed Portland's WNBA name

1 week ago | ca.sports.yahoo.com | Meghan Hall

The WNBA can try as hard as it may, but hiding potential team names doesn't seem to be something that's working very well for any new expansion franchises. In December 2024, as the world was waiting for the league's Toronto team to reveal its name, some crafty fans beat the organization and the WNBA to it. How did that happen? A glitch in the league's site. The name "Toronto Tempo" was found hidden within the inner search functions, and the speculation went off the rails quickly.

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White directly called out WNBA officials following a Tuesday matchup with the Connecticut Sun. White spent several moments in a postgame presser answering questions about scuffles that broke out during a Fever-Sun game that quickly went downhill. She also called out the refs overseeing the matchup for letting things get out of hand.
How Jewell Loyd and a Cal student created her custom Nike kicks

Last summer, the Seattle Storm shared a three-photo carousel of now Las Vegas Aces guard Jewell Loyd wearing a pair of vibrant shoes. "Kicks in color," the caption read, with fitting paint canvas and shoe emojis. Loyd -- who has never shied away from donning unique footwear -- was wearing a yet-to-be-released player edition (PE) of Nike Zoom GT Cut 3s.
Point forward Angel Reese? What her triple-double means.

1 week ago | ca.sports.yahoo.com | Meghan Hall

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese recently earned her first career triple-double, a sign that Reese is going deeper into bag. Growth like that helps not just the Sky but her WNBA development, too. Chicago hasn't been good this season. Before winning 78-66 against the Connecticut Sun on Sunday, the Sky were 2-7. Fair or not, Reese received a lot of online ridicule during their season as one of the faces of the franchise.
Caitlin Clark promptly sinks half-court shot after injury update

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark nailed a huge half-court shot on Friday, and there's a pretty good reason for it. Govern yourselves accordingly. Clark, who has missed the past five games with a quad injury, has been cleared for a return to basketball. That's right, WNBA fans. Per head coach Stephanie White, Clark (plus guard Sophie Cunningham, who has also been rehabbing an injury) is likely to play on Saturday against the New York Liberty.
Tiffany Stratton had tragic surrender cobra after horrible first pitch

2 weeks ago | ca.sports.yahoo.com | Meghan Hall

WWE star Tiffany Stratton threw out a first pitch at a New York Mets game, and it was so painfully terrible. At this rate, we might need to update the list of the worst first pitches ever because it's the second throw in as much as a week that’s been thrown everywhere but to the player waiting at home plate. First, former NFL lineman Taylor Lewan had his throw go wide left during a Cardinals game, invoking shades of 50 Cent's horrific throw from years past.
Coco Gauff posts emotional TikTok about all the love at Liberty game

2 weeks ago | ca.sports.yahoo.com | Meghan Hall

Tennis champ Coco Gauff had such a good time attending a New York Liberty game that it nearly made her cry. In case you missed it, Gauff recently pulled off a gritty comeback at the French Open against World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka to win her second grand slam title. At just 21 years old, she showed an immense amount of mental toughness that a lot of young players don't have after she dropped the first set to the Belarusian.
Angel Reese's teammate calls for respect: 'Her crown is heavy'

2 weeks ago | ca.sports.yahoo.com | Meghan Hall

The Chicago Sky don't look great right now ― they are 2-6 on the season ― and have been struggling as they learn a new system and navigate life without Courtney Vandersloot. Unfortunately, that means the online criticism has been twice as loud, and Reese has been on the receiving end of a lot of it. After an 85-66 loss to the New York Liberty, the former LSU product was asked about the online scrutiny she receives and how she handles it all.
Who replaces Courtney Vandersloot after her ACL injury? It's 1 name.

2 weeks ago | ca.sports.yahoo.com | Meghan Hall

Chicago Sky guard Courtney Vandersloot's season-ending ACL injury drastically changes the team's trajectory for 2025. Vandersloot went down with a knee injury during a June 7th matchup against the Indiana Fever at the United Center in Chicago. The veteran guard was near the sidelines, driving to the basket with a defender in lockstep. As she approached the paint, she stopped for a pull-up jumper, but immediately grabbed her knee mid-play and went down to the floor.
The WNBA's 'Line 'Em Up' program is banking on the 3-ball

2 weeks ago | usatoday.com | Meghan Hall

Colors are often used as symbolic cultural tools that evoke soul-stirring emotions. For the WNBA, its signature orange hue has accomplished that and more for the 29-year-old professional sports league. It's also become synonymous with representation. The phrase "If you can see her, you can be her" is woven into the DNA fibers of that striking shade of orange, and its reach is growing beyond the hardwood.
