The Indiana Fever are facing tough questions after another uneven week, and while much of the conversation has centered around Caitlin Clark and her viral sideline interaction with Stephanie White, the bigger concern may be Indiana's defense.
This week, we break down how opponents are attacking Clark, why the Fever continue to struggle defensively, and what must change if Indiana hopes to become a true championship contender.
Plus, we're giving flowers to some of the WNBA's most overlooked stars. Jessica Shepard is putting together a historic season in Dallas, while Natasha Howard continues to be the backbone of Minnesota's rise near the top of the standings. These players are making a major impact…even if they're not dominating headlines.
We also take a trip around the globe to spotlight the international talent reshaping the WNBA. From Julie Allemand and Carla Leite to Janelle Salaün, Pauline Astier, Justė Jocytė, Jovana Nogic, Kamilla Cardoso, and more, the league's global influence has never been stronger.
And with Commissioner's Cup play heating up, we share our early reactions, contenders, and lessons learned from the first month of the WNBA season.
