The GIST: Think of today’s WNBA updates like an episode of Love Island — there’s a hot bombshell, a dramatic split, and something that just might break the internet. Cracking on…
🔥 A historic night for Las Vegas Ace A’ja Wilson: And no, we’re not talking about this iconic moment — the three-time MVP became the fastest player in league history to reach 5K career points during an 85–59 Wednesday win over the Connecticut Sun. Wilson reached the milestone in 238 games, beating the 242-game mark set by NY Liberty superstar Breanna Stewart.
💔 Indiana Fever waive six-time All-Star DeWanna Bonner: The two-time champ missed five straight games due to personal reasons that reportedly centered on her fit with the team. Because in-season trades are out of the norm in the W, waiving Bonner was the next best option — which is good news for the 16-year vet, whose heart is (literally) set on a reunion with the Phoenix Mercury.
👀 Game to watch — Fever vs. Dallas Wings: Everyone’s talking about tonight’s 7:30 p.m. ET showdown between the last two No. 1 picks — Indy’s Caitlin Clark and Dallas’ Paige Bueckers — but even with Clark’s status for the game unclear, there’s still plenty of reasons to tune in.
- Starting with the Fever, it’s Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell: Boston has been on an absolute tear this season, posting a career-high 31 points on Tuesday, while Mitchell has found her shooting stroke, knocking down a season-high five three-pointers two games ago.
- As for Dallas, in addition to the all-around play of Bueckers, keep an eye on Arike Ogunbowale. It hasn’t been the fastest of starts for the four-time All-Star, but Ogunbowale’s been deep in her bag lately, averaging 24 points over the last two games. Nothing but net.
