In recent memory, Maddy Siegrist (2023) and Emily Engstler (2022) vaulted themselves int

Near the end of 2022, New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart took a meeting at a New York City steakhouse to hear an idea to change the landscape of professional women’s basketball.

Liberty star and two-time WNBA MVP Breanna Stewart went under the knife on Thursday but her availability for the upcoming season is not in doubt.

PHOENIX — As Diana Taurasi recently boarded a flight to New York, her 7-year-old son, Leo, had a question. “Is retirement sad?” he said. In late February, Taurasi, a 20-year veteran of the Phoenix Mercury and widely viewed as one of basketball’s greatest talents and personalities, disclosed to Time that she had launched her last jump shot, talked her last trash. She was retiring from the sport she had played for most of her life. What that meant, however, was taking shape. And still is. “That wa

Diana Taurasi spoke at her Phoenix Mercury retirement press conference about her and Sue Bird's idea to leave Phoenix Mercury and Storm for Liberty.

Breanna Stewart had arthroscopic surgery on her right meniscus, a person familiar with the procedure told The Associated Press on Thursday. Stewart will be back for New York Liberty training camp, which opens on April 27, the person said. The two-time WNBA MVP, who helped New York wins its first league championship last season, posted photos on Instagram of herself in a hospital bed.

Indiana has made several offseason moves in hopes of improving on its 20-20 record and first WNBA playoff appearance since 2016.

Diana Taurasi wanted to take her time before deciding whether to retire. Once the Phoenix Mercury star made up her mind, the decision came with the same kind of decisiveness she displayed through one of the greatest careers in women's basketball history. “I thought really hard about maybe playing again, but I knew that in my heart, I was physically, mentally, just full with the game of basketball,” Taurasi said during her retirement news conference on Thursday.

The Mercury announced Thursday that Taurasi will be inducted into the Mercury Ring of Honor, the franchise's highest honor, next year.

A recent quote by Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink might be misleading, particularly in the eyes of WNBA fans and sports die-hards as a whole. “It’s kind of nice to be away from basketball for a second,” Brink told . Immediately, the idea of Brink being away from playing the game she loves for nearly nine months can come off as a red flag.
