How to watch Lynx vs. Liberty: Injuries put new stars in the spotlight for WNBA Rivals Week
A premier WNBA Rivals Week showdown begins in Brooklyn. The league-leading Minnesota Lynx visit the defending champion New York Liberty at 12:30 p.m. ET this Sunday. Minnesota arrives without MVP front-runner Napheesa Collier, who sprained her right ankle on Aug. 2 and is expected to miss at least two weeks. Meanwhile, New York counters with its own hole in the marquee: Breanna Stewart is out indefinitely with a right knee bone bruise. Still, there's plenty of reason to tune in to this WNBA Finals rematch. How to watch Minnesota Lynx at New York Liberty Venue: Barclays Center — Brooklyn Time: 12:30 p.m. ET, Sunday TV: ABC Streaming: Fubo (Save $20) Watching in person? Get tickets on StubHub. Live coverage is also available on ESPN+. Without Collier, Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve will stretch Kayla McBride from three and lean on Courtney Williams in the middle third, with Jessica Shepard and Alanna Smith owning the glass. The Lynx also recently acquired DiJonai Carrington from Dallas for Diamond Miller, Karlie Samuelson and a 2027 second-round pick, a defense-minded move that only strengthens their top-ranked unit. The Liberty have won three in a row since halting a four-game slide. Sabrina Ionescu dropped 36 points and 11 rebounds at Connecticut on Aug. 3. Former WNBA Finals MVP Emma Meesseman also chipped in 13 points, two blocks and a steal in her second game as New York followed with an 85-76 win against Dallas, the first of two straight victories over the Wings. The hinge is simple: finish possessions and value the ball. If New York controls the defensive glass and runs McBride off rhythm catch-and-shoots, it tilts home. If Minnesota wins the turnover game and frees Carrington in transition, it travels. This is the first Barclays meeting since last year's Finals and the second of four total matchups between these two this season. The Lynx play three straight against the Liberty from Aug. 10-19, while New York has five total games over that same stretch.

🤔 CR7 mocks Ballon d'Or award as fictitious, do you agree? Have your say!
Cristiano Ronaldo mocked the list of nominees for the 2025 Ballon d'Or, calling the award "fictitious." The Portuguese star was questioned in the mixed zone of the Estádio Algarve, after Al-Nassr's 4-0 win against Rio Ave last Thursday (7th), where he scored a hat-trick, about the presence of only three compatriots among the 30 nominees: João Neves, Vitinha, and Nuno Mendes. Cristiano Ronaldo competed for over a decade with Lionel Messi for the France Football honor, winning on five occasions (2008, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017), but was left out of the list for the third consecutive year. The Al-Nassr forward accumulated 35 goals and four assists in 41 games last season, and also helped Portugal win the Nations League for the second time. The French magazine revealed the contenders on Thursday (7th), recognizing the highlights of the 2024/25 season in European football. The ceremony to determine the winner will take place on September 22, at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. Check out all the nominees for the 2025 Ballon d'Or Dembélé (Paris Saint-Germain) Gianluigi Donnarumma (Paris Saint-Germain) Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) Désiré Doué (Paris Saint-Germain) Denzel Dumfries (Inter Milan) Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund) Haaland (Manchester City) Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting) Hakimi (Paris Saint-Germain) Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) Kvaratskhelia (Paris Saint-Germain) Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona) Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool) Lautaro Martínez (Inter Milan) Scott McTominay (Napoli) Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid) Nuno Mendes (Paris Saint-Germain) João Neves (Paris Saint-Germain) Pedri (Barcelona) Cole Palmer (Chelsea) Michael Olise (Bayern Munich) Raphinha (Barcelona) Declan Rice (Arsenal) Fabián Ruiz (Paris Saint-Germain) Van Dijk (Liverpool) Vini Jr. (Real Madrid) Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen) Vitinha (Paris Saint-Germain) Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
