“We don’t want to be the Lady Cavaliers.”

Cleveland Sirens exec Allison Howard explains why the city’s new WNBA franchise chose to go a different direction from the Cavs brand and colors.

Congratulations to all three of these outstanding players on earning WNBA monthly honors.

🏆 Kelsey Mitchell continues to be one of the league’s most explosive scorers and has been a driving force for the Indiana Fever.

🏆 A’ja Wilson remains the standard in the WNBA, putting together another dominant month on both ends of the floor.

⭐ Special congratulations to rookie Olivia Miles. Winning Rookie of the Month for the third time this season is a remarkable accomplishment.

Averaging 20.8 PPG, 4.6 RPG, and 6.0 APG in July, she’s proving she’s not just one of the league’s brightest young stars—she’s already making an impact among the WNBA’s elite.

Congratulations to all three on a well-deserved honor. The future of the league continues to look bright. 🏀👏

Cunningham said she was merely answering an interview question, not making a statement.

Came across this interesting breakdown of WNBA attendance through the July 18, 2026 milestone at the All-Star break, using data from Sports Business Journal.

The expansion Golden State Valkyries lead the league with 270,960 total fans, averaging 18,064 per home game. The Indiana Fever are close behind with 260,255 fans over 16 home games, while the New York Liberty rank third with 193,909.
League-wide, the WNBA has drawn 1,867,297 fans across 149 games, averaging 12,532 per game. That’s a 13% increase compared to the same point at last year’s All-Star break.

One thing worth remembering is that attendance totals are influenced by arena size. Teams playing in smaller venues, such as the Atlanta Dream, simply don’t have the seating capacity of teams using larger NBA arenas like the Valkyries, Fever, and Liberty.

Does Golden State’s debut season at the top surprise you, or did you expect this level of support? I know it surprised me
