Liberty add veteran Stephanie Talbot as Emma Meesseman lingers in free agency
The Liberty are adding a veteran bench presence to kick off the second half of the season. Forward Stephanie Talbot is joining the defending WNBA champions, the team announced Monday, one week after she was waived by the Valkyries. Talbot, 31, reportedly signed a contract for the rest of the year. It reunites Talbot with her former Mercury coach and current Australian national team coach, Sandy Brondello, now in her fourth season as coach of the Liberty. 3 Stephanie Talbot (7) in action for the Valkyries in May 2025. Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images 3 The Liberty announced in July 2025 they added Talbot. Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images The addition of Talbot — which brings the Liberty's roster back up to 12 players — comes while Emma Meesseman remains the league's most coveted free agent. 3 Emma Meesseman has drawn interest around the league ahead of the Talbot signing. AFP via Getty Images The Belgian forward, who spent the 2022 season with the Sky and currently plays professionally overseas, has drawn interest around the league, and the Liberty are considered to be among the front-runners for her services. The Liberty retain the salary-cap space to make a major signing, but now would need to clear a roster spot. The Lynx and Mercury also are believed to be in the running to potentially add Meesseman. In 16 games this season for Golden State, Talbot averaged 3.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists. Her last appearance with the Valkyries was on July 7. In the 90-81 loss to the Dream, Talbot scored two points in six minutes of playing time. Talbot, a 35.2 percent shooter from 3-point range in seven WNBA seasons, spent 2024 with the Sparks. The Liberty, currently 15-6 on the season, host the Fever on Tuesday night.

Haliburton x StudBudz? How the streamers could impact the Indiana Pacers' style next season
Indiana Pacer Tyrese Haliburton might be taking style cues from WNBA All-Star weekend streaming sensation StudBudz come the 2025-26 NBA season. On their StudBudz channel on Twitch, Minnesota Lynx teammates Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman live streamed their weekend in Indianapolis, chronicling exploits at clubs and parties, and with interviews with and appearances by Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers and WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert. Haliburton, who is rehabbing his torn Achilles suffered during the June 22 Game 7 of the NBA Finals, could be seen on a scooter during an encounter with the duo at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and admiring the Budz' duds. He told the pink-haired besties he'll have the time to get the brand plenty of exposure. 'You know I'm (going to) be on the bench all season, so I need some merch,' he told them. 'I'll rock some merch.' They told him the clothing would be on the way. Williams and Hiedeman might want to send extra. John Haliburton was with his son during the Gainbridge meeting and expressed excitement in meeting the StudBudz. 'I'm a fan,' he told them. 'I subscribe.'

Caitlin Clark Joins Fellow Stars In Delivering Powerful Statement At WNBA All-Star Game
Caitlin Clark Joins Fellow Stars In Delivering Powerful Statement At WNBA All-Star Game originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The WNBA All-Star game is off and in full swing as Team Clark faces off against Team Collier. Beyond the entertainment, the event has served as a platform, addressing some of the issues plaguing the athletes. Caitlin Clark joined the All-Stars, using the event as a platform and donning warm-up gear to make a powerful statement: "Pay us what you owe us." The wage gap between the NBA and the WNBA has been a topic of discussion around the league for a long time. While several different points have been presented from both sides, the WNBA All-Stars are doing their best to make sure their grievances are heard. While Clark was expected to headline the event, the Indiana Fever guard will be sidelined with a groin injury, which will see her serve as a captain and coach instead. As the leader from the sidelines, the 2x All-Star is expected to play a major role for her team. With this in mind, before the game, Clark was asked what her objectives for the game would be. She hilariously responded by saying: "I think I've got to heckle the refs a little bit. I don't know who's reffing yet, but that will determine how much I will heckle I can get a technical or something. Honestly, just have a good time." In light of her recent run-ins with officials, Clark seems to be cracking jokes in reference to this, adding that a potential ejection would not be out of the realm of possibility for her. But she also stated that having fun with her team remains the priority. The Fever guard has been one of the driving forces, if not the primary one, for the WNBA's recent surge in popularity. With her exciting style of play drawing the interest of basketball fans globally, the two-time All-Star ensured a greater audience for the All-Star Games this year. Clark led all vote-gatherers with a total of 1,293,526 votes over Napheesa Collier's 1,176,020. With the two stars emerging as team captains for the event, the All-Star game is bound to be an exciting one. The All-Star Game matchup between Team Clark and Team Collier is expected to be an exciting one. Team Clark's starting lineup will feature Kelsey Mitchell (replacing Clark), Jackie Young (replacing Satou Sabally), and Sabrina Ionescu in the backcourt. Meanwhile, their starting frontcourt features Aliyah Boston and A'ja Wilson. Team Collier has gone big with rookie Paige Bueckers and Allisha Gray in the backcourt, while Napheesa Collier, Nneka Ogwumike, and Breanna Stewart fill out the frontcourt. Adding to the excitement, the game will also feature new rules. With two four-point circles in each half, live hockey subs, and a 20-second shot clock, the game is poised to be an exciting event for those in story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 20, 2025, where it first appeared.
