The top priority of the Phoenix Mercury front office has been to help bring Brittney Griner home safely after she was wrongfully detained by Russia in February. It didn’t matter if their eight-time All-Star center never played in the WNBA again. On Friday, Griner put speculation on her basketball future to rest in her first public statement since touching down on U.S. soil. And it surely brought jubilation to the Mercury, some of whom surprised Griner with a visit that morning. “I also… Source link

The Los Angeles Sparks finalized a multi-year deal with two-time Coach of the Year Curt Miller as their next head coach, sources told Yahoo Sports on Friday. The Sparks announced the hire later Friday. Miller led the Connecticut Sun to the 2022 WNBA Finals, where they lost in four games to the Las Vegas Aces. As general manager and head coach, Miller shaped the Sun into title contenders over the past handful of seasons. But they have yet to break through for the franchise’s first… Source link

The chants were swift and boisterous. A raucous crowd that rode the roller coaster of Game 4 — and the entire semifinals series — sent off Sue Bird in legendary fashion. “Thank you, Sue,” the crowd chanted as Bird acknowledged fans from center court after the No. 1-seeded Las Vegas Aces beat her Seattle Storm 97-92 to end the Storm’s season and Bird’s career on Tuesday night at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. “It’s sad,” Bird told ESPN’s Holly Rowe in a televised postgame interview while… Source link

It was ugly, just the way Connecticut Sun head coach Curt Miller wanted it. Maybe a little uglier than most others would have liked. But the No. 3 seed Sun couldn’t buy the first vowel in “offense” and lost the mightily messy Game 3 affair to the No. 2 seed Chicago Sky, 76-72, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut on Sunday. Chicago leads the best-of-five series, 2-1, and is one victory away from a return to the WNBA Finals that tips off in one week. Connecticut will need to win out, including… Source link

Chicago Sky forward Candace Parker doesn’t have much more to accomplish in the WNBA. She’s a six-time All-Star, two-time MVP winner and two-time champion — the last of which came with her hometown team last year. Parker, 36, is in the final year of her contract with the Sky, and said she is treating this year as if it will be her last in the WNBA. That seems like a pretty strong hint at retirement. Parker did not directly use that word, but it seems clear that, at the very least, she’s going… Source link
