This really was a near-perfect All-Star Weekend from the POV of WNBA Players. The studbudz stream. The awareness they raised about their CBA negotiations. Phee setting a scoring record. Skylar posting the ASG's first triple-double. An entertaining All-Star Friday. They delivered.

Ahead of #WNBAAllStar weekend, I sat down with @IndianaFever legend Tamika Catchings at her tea shop in Indy. We discuss her ASG memories, the state of the WNBA, the growth of Caitlin Clark & Aliyah Boston as a tandem and more. Full 📹 w/ @Catchin24:

Props to Indianapolis International Airport for installing a whole basketball court inside the terminal to promo WNBA All-Star Weekend 🙌🏽

When I asked Azurá Stevens about what's motivating her play, she didn't mention any accolade or personal achievement. Stevens is fueled by gratitude – to be healthy, make her family proud, to play in the W. It's resulted in the best season of her career.

When I arrived at Barclays, Julie Vanloo was waiting outside the arena. 25 minutes later, she's on the court taking shots for the Sparks. 🤯

Is it great to be able to spend every day with each other?. Tyler Marsh: We still probably need our space every now and then. Donnie Marsh: For me, it's making excuses to see him when I really knew I wanted to see my grandson . Full chat w/ the Marshes 😅:

Tyler Marsh grew up watching his dad, Donnie, coach. Then he played for him. Then coached under him. Now, as the head coach of the Chicago Sky, Tyler is in charge with Donnie beside him. My interview with the Marshes on their journey in basketball. Full:

Before she shined on a basketball court, Temi Fagbenle had a love of acting and dreamed of one day starring on screen. New story on how a DM to Gina Prince-Bythewood led to a role for Fagbenle in the star-studded adaptation of 'Children of Blood and Bone'.

"She’s taken her career into her own hands.”. Gabby Williams, the Seattle Storm's "French army knife," is having a career year as one of the most dynamic forces in the W. The prospective All-Star invested in herself. Now, it's paying dividends.
