WNBA Achievements and Ongoing Goals: A Year of Celebrations and Challenges

WNBA 2023

As the 2023 WNBA season comes to a thrilling close, fans eagerly anticipate the Superteam Finals clash between the Liberty and Aces. This momentous showdown has been building since Breanna Stewart's transfer to Brooklyn earlier this year, promising one of the most anticipated Finals in league history.

Expansion News

Breaking exciting news, Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has unveiled plans for a new Bay Area team to join the league in 2025, backed by the Golden State Warriors. The expansion draft is scheduled for late 2024. Discussions regarding potential further expansion, including the addition of Portland, are in progress, signaling an era of growth for the WNBA.

Dearica Hamby's Controversy

Amidst the excitement, a cloud of controversy looms as Dearica Hamby of the Sparks files a gender discrimination complaint against both the WNBA and her former team, the Aces. Allegations include mistreatment during her pregnancy and subsequent retaliation. The league's investigation resulted in penalties, sparking discussions about player parental rights.

The Rivalry Continues

On the court, the 2023 season witnessed a fiercely contested MVP race, with Alyssa Thomas, Breanna Stewart, and A'ja Wilson making history with record-breaking performances. Despite not receiving the most first-place votes, Stewart claimed the MVP title, underlining the league's progress over 27 years.

This three-way MVP rivalry extends into the Finals, pitting Wilson against Stewart in a battle for the championship. Adding to the intrigue, the Finals will be a historic moment as two former players, Becky Hammon and Sandy Brondello, lead the Aces and Liberty from the sidelines.
