​

The WNBA signed an 11‑year media rights deal with Versant, which will see USA Network air at least 50 games annually starting in 2026. The agreement includes regular season matchups, Wednesday night doubleheaders, select playoff games, and the WNBA Finals.  Shout out to Philly's own Kahlea Cooper!  Phoenix is in the Championship!

This expansion visibility comes as the league also approaches a key collective bargaining negotiation with its players

The 2028 Women’s Final Four is being relocated from Gainbridge Fieldhouse to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The move opens up space for around 13,000 additional spectators and marks the return of the event to an NFL venue.

NBA

LeBron James, as he heads into what may be his final seasons, recently affirmed he won’t delay retirement just to play alongside his son Bryce.  However, he didn't mention a retirement date.

​

Embiid & George both can return to the game.  If they stay relatively healthy, the Sixers have a chance to bounce back.  McCain’s, as a young guard is in recovery, and, dependent on how well he heals, his integration into the game will be important, especially since guard depth took a hit.

 

The Sixers kept much of the same core, but there’s room (and a desperate need for) supplementary pieces or trade upgrades, especially in frontcourt depth and  on defense.​
