WNBA's Historic Announcement Means Bad News for Indiana Fever Star
WNBA's Historic Announcement Means Bad News for Indiana Fever Star originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
It's been a picture-perfect start to the 2025 season for the Minnesota Lynx. The defending Western Conference champs are showing no signs of slowing down, opening the year with an 8-0 record.

Their latest victory came Tuesday night in a dominant 88-65 home decision over the Phoenix Mercury.
Minnesota has shown great balance, but one player continues to stand out: Kayla McBride. The sharpshooter stretches defenses and creates problems from beyond the arc.
On Tuesday, the WNBA spotlighted McBride with this post:
"A threat from beyond the arc! With her 3rd triple tonight vs. the Mercury, Kayla McBride officially moves into 8th on the All-Time 3PM List!
While that's great news for McBride, it represents unfortunate timing for another veteran: Indiana Fever forward DeWanna Bonner.
Bonner had a quiet night in Indiana's 85-76 win over the Washington Mystics, scoring just nine points in 20 minutes. She hit one 3-pointer but saw McBride go past her on the all-time 3-pointer list when the Lynx star hit three treys.

Meanwhile, McBride was one of four Lynx players in double figures. She put up 13 points on 5-for-8 shooting, added seven assists and pulled down four rebounds.

McBride, 32, played her college ball for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and entered the league in 2014 as the No. 3 overall pick by the San Antonio Stars. She has played for three franchises and spent several offseasons playing overseas.
Her climb up the WNBA's all-time 3-point list puts her in elite company. She now trails Kristi Toliver by 21 makes. To tie sixth-place Katie Douglas, she needs 97 more threes. To move into fifth ahead of Tina Thompson, she needs 119.

McBride and the unbeaten Lynx will hit the road Sunday to take on the Dallas Wings.

Pacers vs. Thunder NBA Finals score: Tyrese Haliburton does it again, stuns OKC with game-winner to cap furious Indiana rally in Game 1
Tyrese Haliburton did it again. The Indiana Pacers rallied from a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit Thursday night and stunned the Oklahoma City Thunder, 111-110, in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Haliburton capped the rally with yet another game-winning shot, this time with 0.3 seconds remaining on the clock. Advertisement The lead was Indiana's first and only one of the game. But 0.3 seconds was long enough for Indiana to secure the win. The Thunder's desperation inbounds alley-oop attempt on the other end failed, and the Pacers walked off the Paycom Center floor victorious in front of a stunned Oklahoma City crowd. 'It ain't over until it's over' Haliburton has hit game-winners against the Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers and now the Thunder in these playoffs with shots that capped spectacular comebacks. He hit another to force overtime against the New York Knicks in a win in the Eastern Conference finals. Advertisement Thursday's shot arrived on the biggest stage in basketball. "We've just had to figure out how to win in so many different ways all year, past two years," Haliburton told ESPN postgame. "So many weird, different ways. Really proud of this group. We're a resilient group. "We keep believing. We keep believing and we stay together. It ain't over until it's over." Haliburton finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds and six assists in the comeback victory that saw six Pacers players score in double figures, none of them more than 19 points. The Pacers' win spoiled a sensational night for league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who totaled 38 points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals. The rally stunned a Thunder team that was the best in the league in the regular season and entered Game 1 as a heavy favorite to win the NBA title following an impressive run through the Western Conference playoffs. Tyrese Haliburton got off to a slow start, but once again finished in style. (Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images) (IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect / Reuters) OKC was in complete control — until it wasn't For most of Thursday's game, the Thunder looked very much like the heavy favorites. Oklahoma City rode its trademark swarming defense to what was by most measures a dominant first half. It opened the first quarter by forcing nine Pacers turnovers and allowing eight made Indiana field goals. Advertisement By halftime, Indiana's turnover count (19) still exceeded its made field-goal tally (15), and the Thunder held a 57-45 lead. The Thunder had 18 more field-goal attempts (54) than the Pacers (36) at the break. There was little to indicate from the first half the Pacers could mount a rally. But Indiana limited Oklahoma City to 37% shooting in the first half to keep within striking distance. And a halftime message from head coach Rick Carlisle appeared to resonate. 'Stay with the process' "The good thing is, 19 turnovers — they only had nine points [off turnovers]," Carlisle said in the Pacers' halftime locker room, per video on the ESPN broadcast. "It's not the end of the world. We're right there. ... "We've had a lot of really good looks at 3s. Some of them haven't gone in. Stay with the process, stay with the process." Indiana stayed with the process. And it worked. The Pacers limited their turnovers to just five in the second half. And they found their stroke from long distance. Advertisement The result in the third quarter was keeping pace with the Thunder, who struggled to extend their lead. The Pacers cut the Thunder edge to six points in the final seconds of the third quarter before a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 3-pointer in the final second extended the edge back to 85-76. Oklahoma City then extended its lead to the largest of the game at 94-79 when Jalen Williams turned a steal into a transition dunk on the other end with 9:42 remaining in the fourth. But the Indiana rally was not quelled. After a timeout, the Pacers responded with a 15-4 run to cut Oklahoma City's lead to 98-94. They got there with the 3 ball as Obi Toppin and Myles Turner hit two each during the run. When Turner banked one in from the wing to cut the lead to four, the Oklahoma City crowd was on edge for the first time Thursday night. The Thunder again extended their to 108-99 with a pair of Gilgeous-Alexander free throws and appeared to be back in control with less than three minutes remaining. But back-to-back 3s by Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Nemhard cut the lead to 108-105. Advertisement Siakam pulled the Pacers within 110-109 in the final minute before a missed Gilgeous-Alexander jumper with 14 seconds remaining set Haliburton up for his heroics. The Pacers finished the game shooting 18 of 39 (46.2%) from 3-point distance. Nine different Pacers hit at least one 3. Toppin hit 5 of 8 off the bench en route to 17 points. The Pacers limited their turnovers to 24 for the game after committing 19 in the first half. And they held the Thunder to 39.8% shooting from the floor. The Thunder secured 16 more field-goal attempts (98) than the Pacers (82). But they didn't hit enough shots to put Indiana away. Haliburton the hero What Haliburton has done in these playoffs is nothing short of remarkable and unprecedented in basketball history. Advertisement The Pacers rallied from 20 points down and a seven-point deficit in the final 40 seconds to clinch their first-round series against the Bucks. Haliburton secured the win with a go-ahead layup with 1.3 seconds remaining in overtime. Against Cleveland in the second round, Indiana again trailed by 20 points before mounting another stunning rally. This time, Haliburton grabbed an offensive rebound off a missed free throw in the game's final 12 seconds. He dribbled beyond the 3-point line and pulled up for a go-ahead 3 with 1.1 seconds remaining. That shot secured a 120-119 win and a 2-0 lead on the road over the Cavaliers. Then, against the Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals, the Pacers trailed by 17 in the fourth quarter and by 14 with less than three minutes left in regulation. Advertisement This time, Haliburton forced overtime with a deep buzzer-beater he initially thought was a game-winning 3. It wasn't. But the Pacers went on to a Game 1 win in overtime en route to a 4-2 series victory. And now Haliburton's done it to a Thunder team almost everyone picked to beat his Pacers in the NBA Finals. It's up to Oklahoma City to respond and avoid a 2-0 deficit at home. Game 2 is scheduled for Sunday at 8 p.m. ET.

T.J. and Megan McConnell swap jerseys before Game 1 of NBA Finals
T.J. and Megan McConnell are known to have strong sibling love and on Thursday night, they supported each other's basketball journeys from afar. The brother-sister duo showed up to their respective games wearing each others jerseys as T.J. was making his first appearance in the NBA Finals in Oklahoma City. Megan was sidelined with injury from the Phoenix Mercury's game against the Golden State Valkyries. Both T.J. and Megan were star players at Chartiers Valley before going on to play college basketball at Duquesne University and entering the NBA and WNBA, respectively. When T.J. showed up to the Paycom Center for Game 1 of the NBA Finals, he did so wearing Megan's Mercury jersey. Your brother wearing your rookie pro jersey to his first @NBA Finals game is such a flex 😎 — Phoenix Mercury (@PhoenixMercury) June 5, 2025 Earlier this week, Megan signed a contract with the Mercury, becoming just one of three active duos in the NBA and WNBA of brother-sister combinations. Megan made her WNBA debut earlier this week, scoring three points during 13 minutes of playing time before she suffered a knee injury and is now expected to be sidelined for several weeks. Even though she was sidelined for Thursday night's Phoenix game, she showed up wearing T.J.'s Pacers jersey.

1 WNBA team's coaching staff is under investigation for a second time this year
UPDATE: June 5 — There are now conflicting reports on whether or not the Storm are actually under investigation or not. Our coverage on the latest updates around this developing news story can be found here. Original story follows. The Seattle Storm have gone through some cataclysmic changes over the past few years, starting with Sue Bird retiring after two decades with the franchise. Soon after, Breanna Stewart signed with the New York Liberty in free agency, and the Storm signed Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins. The last piece of their Big-Three of the 2010s, Jewell Loyd, did not last long after that, requesting a trade ahead of the 2025 season. Loyd was moved to Las Vegas after a decade of playing in Seattle, but not before accusing the Storm staff of 'bullying and harrassment,' leading to the Storm hiring an external law firm to investigate those allegations. Advertisement Shortly after the Storm announced in a statement that 'there were no findings of policy violations or any discrimination, harassment, or bullying,' Loyd requested the trade. She recently said on a podcast that at the time, she told her agent to send her anywhere that would take her and that 'it couldn't get worse.' That part of the story seemed to have concluded when Loyd was traded to Las Vegas, and it appeared both parties were ready to move on. Yet another chapter opens this week as it's been announced and confirmed that the Storm will undergo another investigation into their coaching practices, per WNBA insider Khristina Williams. The news comes on the same day that Storm player Li Yueru, an international player from China, requested a trade out of Seattle. The two news bits may be connected, but they also may not be. There is also some reporting that Yueru and her representation's request to move her from Seattle is more a request from the Chinese National Team. Yueru is staying in the United States this WNBA season as opposed to playing for China, and apparently, the federation expected her to have a bigger role on the Storm if she were not going to be reporting for her international team duties, according to The Next and Forbes contributor Roberta F. Rodrigues: It's not uncommon for international federations to have high expectations of their star players, either. The French National Team is another team known for wanting long-term commitments from their players, a reason why Gabby Williams did not come to the WNBA last season before the Olympics and why Marine Johannes did not play at all in 2024. So reports that the Chinese federation wants their star player to get more run in the WNBA if she is going to be there are not totally unexpected or outside of the realm of possibility. Advertisement It's also natural to wonder if the two reports are connected, since it is unusual to request a trade seven games into a season. Even in the shorter WNBA season, that's still fairly quick, given the trade deadline isn't until Aug. 7. As of this story's original publishing time, no one on Seattle's current roster has made any sort of comment about the current investigation, or really about Loyd's departure. But this new investigation is specifically being carried out by the WNBA and league security, per Williams's report, so while it may be connected to what was going on last year, or it could be something new, but the big difference is that the league is investigating them, not a law firm the team hired itself. This is not the first time the WNBA has investigated teams, and it also has an ongoing investigation into the Las Vegas Aces right now that has been going on since last season, so it's entirely possible this will not be wrapped up quickly, either.
