After an extra spicy opening week here are the things I’m most looking forward to this week... May 22, 2025 10 Things Mr. Women's Basketball is Looking Forward to in WNBA's Week 2 EJ Arocho After an extra spicy opening week here are the Top 10 things I’m most looking forward to in Week 2: 1. Indiana’s Big 3 (Caitlin, Aliyah, Kelsey) vs New York’s Big 3 (Sabrina, Stewie, Jonquel). Saturday’s game features the Top 2 leaders in college triple-doubles in Sabrina Ionescu & Caitlin Clark, who also happen to be the two most lethal 3PT shooters in the W. Look for logo 3’s & a lot of ‘em! 2. Kelsey Plum’s first game against her former team Vegas. We saw what she was able to do with the Aces (2x champ). Now we’re about to see what she can do against them on Friday. No one knows the scouting report better than Becky Hammon! Through 3 games this season, Plum Dawg is averaging a ridiculous 26.7 PPG! 3. A’ja Wilson vs Dominique Malonga (their last meeting was in the Paris Olympics Gold Medal Match!) The reigning MVP vs a future MVP. 4. Tina Charles vs Napheesa Collier on Friday. Husky on Husky crime! Both averaged over 20.0 ppg during opening week! Both look like they’re chasing MVP & DPOY supremacy! 5. Aneesah Morrow’s WNBA debut: Could we see the #7 Draft pick play her first-ever pro game on Sunday vs Atlanta or even Tuesday at home vs Dallas and begin her ROY campaign. She’s been hampered by a slight knee injury to start the season. After recording 104 double-doubles in college, she’ll look to bring that same fire & intensity in the W. 6. Bounce back game for Marina Mabrey & Jacy Sheldon?? Both are coming off of abysmal performances vs Vegas on Tuesday. Jacy was held scoreless (0-7 FG) and Marina, known for her 3PT shooting prowess, went just 1-5 from deep & 3-11 overall from the field. It’ll be another tall task to go up against the league’s best team currently in Minnesota but neither ducks smoke, so I’m eager to see how they perform on Friday. 7. The Battle of Cali Part II. Los Angeles vs Golden State, 2 meetings in 7 days?? I’ll take it! Kelsey Plum exploded for 37 on opening night & the Sparks won by 17. I don’t expect that to happen this time around. ***Something to note: starters Veronica Burton & Kate Martin were held to 4 points combined in that game & went 0-7 from the field. 8. Rookie rematch of the last two National Champions when Atlanta & Dallas clash on Saturday- Te-Hina Paopao (2024) vs Paige Bueckers (2025). 9. Iowa alum clash on Wednesday when Indiana heads to Washington.The face of the league Caitlin Clark takes on rookie & 23rd overall pick Lucy Olsen. I can assure you all of Hawkeye Nation will be tuned in to this one! FUN FACT: After CC graduated in 2024, Lucy Olsen transferred from Villanova to Iowa to fill the primary PG role at Iowa. 10. FIBA/Eurobasket reunion when the Valkyries & the Liberty clash on Tuesday. 7 international players for Golden State representing Belgium, Italy, the UK, France & Australia. 4 international players for New York representing the Bahamas, France & Germany. It’s like the United Nations of Basketball! The matchup I’m looking most forward to here is Temi Fágbénlé vs Jonquel Jones in the post.

Our mission at LFG is to help grow women's sports by bringing fans of women's sports together. We are building a supportive, safe, and fun community. April 30, 2025 LFG Founders' Welcome Message Adrienne Alitowski & Gary W. Marion When our daughter was in elementary school, the first words she’d utter almost every morning were “Who won the game last night?” It didn’t matter the sport or the team. Since she’d have to go to bed before the final whistle, the girl needed to get caught up. She loves sports. She loves playing sports and watching sports and talking about sports. And when she got to high school, she talked to boys about sports for the first time. We remember her telling us at dinner one night that the boys told her that women’s sports were no good. Yeesh. We knew those boys were wrong. But when it was that easy for them to dismiss the hard-fought progress made by resilient and powerful athletes, well, we realized just how far there was left to go. Our daughter came of age with the 2015 and 2019 USWNT World Cup wins. We screamed our heads off, watching a giant screen in a park in Paris, when the US beat the Netherlands to win in 2019. We cheered at the inaugural Angel City FC game in Los Angeles. We welcomed Brittney Griner back to the WNBA in her first game (against the Los Angeles Sparks) after being released from Russia. Absolutely exciting and life-changing moments. Adrienne did not grow up a sports fan. When she and Gary moved in together in a small studio apartment she found him the perfect gift: TV headphones so she didn’t have to hear his sports. She didn’t understand his love for all things sport and she didn’t understand why they mattered so much to him. But watching their daughter play and love sports turned things around for her. And when Adrienne started noticing women’s sports on TV, the headphones finally came off. Women playing sports was a whole different story. She was all in! The global passion for women’s sports is catching up to our own. Audiences are growing and more people are tuning in. Maybe some of those high school boys are watching now, too. Our mission at LFG is to help grow women’s sports by bringing fans of women’s sports together. We are building a supportive, safe, and fun community that can chat, learn about our favorite athletes, and play fantasy contests. Community. Connection. Competition. What could be more fun?

RotoWire expert Joe Mayo outlines his top fantasy WNBA risers and fallers for this week, including Sophie Cunningham's opportunity to step up. The WNBA has a condensed schedule in Week 9 due to the All-Star break, but there are still opportunities to add valuable fantasy options in the shortened week. July 14, 2025 Fantasy WNBA Week 9: Top Risers and Fallers Joe Mayo Top Fantasy WNBA Risers for Week 9 Sami Whitcomb , Phoenix Mercury: The veteran guard has started in two consecutive outings since Kahleah Copper (hamstring) has been sidelined. Whitcomb erupted for a career-high 36 points (12-19 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 5-8 FT) during last Monday's win over Dallas, adding six rebounds, two steals and one assist in 27 minutes. She followed that up by filling the stat sheet in Wednesday's win over Minnesota, recording 10 points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists, five rebounds, one block and one steal across 29 minutes. Copper and Satou Sabally (knee) have already been ruled out for Monday's game against the Valkyries, so Whitcomb will likely remain in an increased role. Sophie Cunningham , Indiana Fever: Cunningham has been impressive during the Fever's last two matchups, averaging 14.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 26.0 minutes per game. Moreover, the 28-year-old forward has logged at least 21 minutes in seven consecutive outings. Caitlin Clark has operated under a minutes restriction in three straight matchups following a four-game absence due to a groin injury. While it's unclear how long that restriction will last, the Fever play a back-to-back set this week and will likely need strong contributions from Cunningham and the second unit. Leila Lacan , Connecticut Sun: The Sun activated Lacan on July 2 after she completed her overseas commitment with France in EuroBasket. The 21-year-old guard has logged significant playing time off the Sun's bench in four consecutive appearances, averaging 7.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 26.5 minutes per game during that span. Additionally, the rookie has now played 30-plus minutes in back-to-back games, totaling 17 points, nine rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in those two outings. The 3-18 Sun will likely continue prioritizing their youth movement, with Lacan emerging as a player to watch in fantasy leagues. Key Fantasy WNBA Fallers to Avoid This Week Teaira McCowan , Dallas Wings: McCowan returned from a nine-game absence due to a EuroBasket commitment and initially logged two consecutive games with 16-plus minutes of playing time. However, the 28-year-old center has seen a significant decline in playing time over the Wings' last two matchups, during which she has averaged 4.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks across just 9.0 minutes per game. With Li Yueru , Luisa Geiselsoderand and Myisha Hines-Allen all seeing significant frontcourt minutes, it wouldn't be surprising to see that trend continue in Week 9. Lindsay Allen , Connecticut Sun: Allen began the 2025 campaign in a starting role before missing six straight games due to left hamstring and Achilles injuries. In the nine outings following the absence, the 30-year-old guard averaged 16.7 minutes per game. However, she has seen a significant dip in playing time over the Sun's last three outings, averaging 1.3 points in just 8.0 minutes per game during that span. With the Sun's backcourt consisting of Leila Lacan , Saniya Rivers , Bria Hartley and Jacy Sheldon , Allen isn't likely to command a meaningful role. Elizabeth Williams, Chicago Sky: Williams logged increased playing time during Kamilla Cardoso's four-game absence, as the second-year center was representing the Brazilian national team at the FIBA AmeriCup. However, Cardoso is back in the starting lineup and isn't expected to relinquish that role. While Williams still posted eight points (4-6 FG) and two assists in Saturday's win over Minnesota, she logged just 12 minutes. The 32-year-old center will likely remain a steady contributor off the bench, but her fantasy ceiling is now much more limited. Fantasy WNBA Player to Watch in Week 9 JJ Quinerly , Dallas Wings: Despite Arike Ogunbowale returning from a three-game absence due to a left thumb injury, Quinerly remained in the starting five over Aziaha James in Sunday's loss to the Fever, posting 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four assists and one rebound across 24 minutes. Quinerly has contributed double-digit points in five consecutive outings, and her role will be one to watch moving forward -- especially if DiJonai Carrington (ribs) remains on the shelf.
