WNBA rookie Caitlin Clark joins Michael Jordan as the only athletes to collaborate with Wilson Sporting Goods, according to reports.

Caitlin Clark's college deal with Nike expired at the conclusion of the women's college basketball season last week. But the show brand apparently did not want to let her go.

Caitlin Clark went No. 1 overall in the WNBA draft, but the money she will earn now as a professional athlete has sparked a debate on social media.

Caitlin Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, will make just over $76,500 in her first season with the Indiana Fever.

NBA and WNBA stars Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu will face off in a highly anticipated 3-point contest during the upcoming All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis.

The 2024 WNBA All-Star Game is headed to Phoenix, setting up as a home game for Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi and a sendoff to the U.S. Olympic women’s basketball team.

Former WNBA MVP and Seattle Storm star Breanna Stewart announced on social media that she is leaving the team to join the New York Liberty.

Minnesota Lynx forward Maya Moore announced her retirement from basketball Monday morning after eight seasons and four WNBA titles.

"I hope you’ll join me in writing to Paul Whelan and continuing to advocate for other Americans to be rescued and returned to their families," Griner wrote.

Brittney Griner says she will return to the Phoenix Mercury for the upcoming season.

Russia has freed WNBA star Brittney Griner in a dramatic high-level prisoner exchange, with the U.S. releasing notorious Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.

The WNBA star has been placed at Female Penal Colony IK-2 in Yavas, which is in the region of Mordovia – the same area where American Paul Whelan is being held, according to Reuters.

The WNBA will allow coaches to challenge one play a game next season, and the league is also heightening the penalty for transition take fouls.

“My hope is that now that the election is over, that Mr. Putin will be able to discuss with us and be willing to talk more seriously about a prisoner exchange,” Biden said.

A penal colony is a common type of Russian prison where detainees work for minimal pay.

Asked if Brittney Griner could be freed as part of a prisoners swap with Washington, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a conference call with reporters that "we always say that any contacts about possible exchanges can only be conducted in silence under a tight lid on any information."

The Moscow region court also ruled that Brittney Griner’s sentence will be recalculated to around eight years in prison, after taking her time in pre-trial detention into account.

"She is not yet absolutely convinced that America will be able to take her home," Boykov said in an interview with the New York Times. "She is very worried about what the price of that will be, and she is afraid that she will have to serve the whole sentence here in Russia."
