It was a busy opening weekend for the WNBA with record breaking performances and ratings as the league’s stars shined.

Caitlin Clark opened the season with the third triple-double of her career Saturday, and the new-look Indiana Fever dominated the final 16 1/2 minutes to pull away from the Chicago Sky 93-58.

DeWanna Bonner joined the Indiana Fever so she could chase a third championship ring.

There’s a lot of excitement and buzz around the WNBA as its set to tip off its 29th season on Friday night thanks in large part to last season’s rookie class led by Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.

Caitlin Clark's star power and the Indiana Fever’s offseason moves to bolster an already competitive roster around her is drawing strong betting interest.

There are no shortages of challengers to the reigning WNBA champion New York Liberty or star power across the league.

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark slapped the court with both hands and started gesturing in her side’s direction after forcing a 5-second call near the end of Tuesday’s practice.

A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier are returning to court to begin the chase for a coveted WNBA championship with the opening of training camps and last year’s rookie sensation Caitlin Clark begins Year 2 in the league.

The WNBA will have its inaugural Rivals Week in August tipping off with Caitlin Clark and Indiana facing Angel Reese and Chicago in prime time.

Caitlin Clark watched patiently as the Indiana Fever's offseason overhaul played out.

A person familiar with the deal says DeWanna Bonner is headed to Indiana to join Caitlin Clark and the Fever.

Satou Sabally is heading to the Phoenix Mercury as part of a three-team trade.

Caitlin Clark had 28 points and 12 assists and the Indiana Fever overcame a record-tying nine 3-pointers from Arike Ogunbowale in a 100-93 victory over the Dallas Wings.

The Dallas Wings have been struggling this year, with injuries taking a major toll.

Arike Ogunbowale scored 35 points, Satou Sabally added a double-double and Dallas pulled away in the second half to beat Phoenix 90-77.

The New York Liberty traded for 2021 MVP Jonquel Jones as part of a three-team deal with the Connecticut Sun and Dallas Wings.

Candace Parker had 14 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists to lead the Chicago Sky over the New York Liberty 90-72 in the deciding Game 3 to advance to the semifinals of the WNBA playoffs.

Courtney Vandersloot, Kahleah Copper and Emma Meesseman will get a chance to play before their home fans as the trio was selected as reserves for the WNBA All-Star Game on July 10 in Chicago.

The WNBA season is only a few weeks old and there already have been five games that have decided in overtime.

The WNBA season isn’t even two weeks old and the New York Liberty have already doubled their win total from last year and are off to their best start since 2007.

The WNBA is back and celebrating its silver anniversary.

Franklin, File)NEW YORK – The New York Liberty acquired Natasha Howard from the Seattle Storm as part of a three-team trade Wednesday. 1 pick didn't stay in Seattle long as the Storm traded it to Dallas for Katie Lou Samuelson and the Wings’ second-round pick in 2022. “We have the privilege of welcoming multiple-time WNBA champions Natasha Howard and Sami Whitcomb to Brooklyn,” general manager Jonathan Kolb said. “I am very excited to be a part of the New York Liberty organization,” she said.

Breanna Stewart and the Seattle Storm never really got a chance to defend their 2018 championship because of key injuries. “I don’t know if any of us are thinking that way,” Stewart said after the Storm completed a three-game sweep of the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday night by setting a WNBA Finals record with a 33-point win. The 26-year-old won a second WNBA Finals MVP as a unanimous choice and was nearly unstoppable in the championship round. Bird, who turns 40 next week, has been a part of all four of the Storm championships during three decades. I just kind of start working out and see how I feel,” said Bird, who averaged 11 assists in the WNBA Finals.
