The Dallas Wings have announced they are headed to the American Airlines Center in Dallas for the 2027 Season 🪽 Promo video featured Paige Bueckers, Coach Jose Fernandez & Dallas Rapper BigXThaPlug.

🚨 TRADE ALERT 🚨 Per multiple reports: The Los Angeles Sparks are trading Kelsey Plum to the Phoenix Mercury for Monique Akoa Makani, a 2027 first round pick and a 2028 second round pick.

Per Alexa Philippou: Chloe Bibby is set to join Minnesota after they offered her a standard contract. The Sky value Bibby and would have preferred to keep her on the roster, but due to salary cap constraints, they would have needed to trade a player to make room for her.

Yesterday, the WNBA posted a lighthearted video about a $400 bet between Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers for last night’s game. The post was quickly deleted. A WNBA spokesperson provided this statement following the incident:

WNBA spokesperson: "While the social media post was intended to be lighthearted, WNBA players are well aware of the league's policies prohibiting betting on WNBA games and receive training every year reinforcing those policies. We recognized that the post missed the mark, removed it shortly after it was published, and addressed the matter internally. We will also use this as an opportunity to reemphasize with the players involved that conversations about wagering on WNBA games, even when intended as a joke, can have negative consequences."

Couple of league sources I spoke with this morning said it's "most likely" that the Sparks will trade Kelsey Plum by the Sunday trade deadline. They've gotten multiple calls from other WNBA teams and the plan is to move her.

Per Annie Costabile: Tempo are actively shopping a future first-round pick to acquire a young post player. Trade proposals have been sent to the Sparks and the Sun but have been turned down to this point.

Puma Basketball has announced several new women’s basketball players to their roster: Kelsey Mitchell Ta’Niya Latson Gianna Kneepkens They join Flau’jae Johnson, Breanna Stewart and Skylar Diggins.

Annie Costabile’s Trade deadline updates: - Plum doesn't intend to re-sign with the Sparks - Collier "has to be considered a trade option" - Trade talks involving AT have "gone cold" - Smith could be a target for PHX - Laney-Hamilton trade talks "heating up again” - Morrow may be on the move

On Friday, we attended Post Moves Show Live in Chicago at The Wellsley and it was HILARIOUS! Bonus points for meeting Sue Bird after the show! (You may or may not hear us shouting things within the show lolz)
