It looks like the NY Liberty and Phoenix Mercury have single game tickets out, and the Fever will release a select number of tickets on 12/17. Anyone know when other teams should have theirs available? And what about season tickets? Not too confident in the business operations for my Mystics right now....

Darious Taylor's new title is Chief Basketball Strategist and Director of Scouting

A bit from the article...

"The numbers are so staggering," said Brewer, associate professor of finance at Indiana University Columbus. "They don't even seem real."

By Brewer's calculation, Clark is responsible for 26.5% of the WNBA's leaguewide activity for the 2024 season, including attendance, merchandise sales and television. One of every six tickets sold at a WNBA arena can be attributed to Clark.

Total TV viewership due to Clark is up 300% and 45% of total broadcast value came from Fever games. The league's merchandise sales catapulted 500%, with Clark ranking No. 1 followed by the Chicago Sky's Angel Reese, another rookie.

The Fever's regular-season game attendance averaged more than 17,000 fans, the first time a WNBA team has drawn more than 300,000 fans in a season. Clark's regular-season games were watched by 1.2 million viewers on average, which was 199% more than non-Clark WNBA games. 

But, perhaps, the most astonishing number of all is Clark's economic impact on the city of Indianapolis, which Brewer says is upwards of $36 million. Not as big as the NBA All-Star game's $400 million financial boost to the city in February, but a respectable 10% of that.

"Now, let's take a breath for a minute and think about this," said Brewer. "That's for one year. We're talking about one player."

[Thanks to u/remiandbun for sharing this on another subreddit. I saw their thread and decided to share it here too.]

I live in Indiana and am so thrilled that All-Star weekend will be in my home state this year. That being said, I'm also a grad student so the likelihood of me having the cash to get tickets is pretty low. I know a few friends of friends who were able to volunteer to work at the Eras tour and it allowed them to at least get to see a portion of the show without spending hundreds of dollars on tickets. Does anyone know if there is something similar for WNBA All-Star weekend? If so, how would one go about this?

We are going to try our something new. We still want you to post lots of WNBA content on the subreddit, but we also want you guys to be able to basically talk about anything you would like to talk about with other WNBA fans. We are introducing the chat thread.

In this thread we can talk about just about anything. Less restrictions that the overall subreddit.

Self promotion of their blogs, youtubes, IG's, tiktoks, podcasts, but no selling merchandise. We will consider allowing this eventually on certain days if this becomes a daily thread.

What are the odds of a Black Woman Coach filling one of the vacant head coach positions? Who is available with a reasonable chance of being hired?

Does anyone have any idea if we will be able to buy single game tickets closer to the actual game or do you think they are going to be sold out months in advance? This will be my first year trying to go to an actual game.

The New York Liberty won the 2024 WNBA Championship, why is the WNBA's subbredit photo on the right hand side still a celebratory photo of the Aces? Shouldn't it be a photo of the Liberty?

I almost want to get a mock draft going but I need that information.

I have my plane ticket and hotel booked and am waiting for tickets to go on sale. I don't want to buy the package, just a ticket to the game. When do tickets go on sale?

I'm talking about the WNBA but I don't know how to edit my title. Since this is posted in the WNBA, I thought it would apply to the W, and not the NBA.

Considering how the NBA has had plenty of players who either have or had a polarizing reputation (Lebron, KD, Draymond Green, etc), it makes me curious as to who you guys think are some examples of WNBA players, either current or past, who have or have had a polarizing reputation.

(Note that a player being polarizing refers to their reputation/perception by others. It doesn’t mean they aren’t good at basketball or that they’re not nice people)

A video of her intense workout was posted on Instagram, with the trainer, Maxwell Schmarzo, describing the different calisthenics the 24-year-old guard went through.

They worked on her stance and rhythm on the court before hitting the weight room to focus on her strength.

"Working on specific postures, positions and how we express our strength explosively," narrated Schmarzo, who has 442,000 followers. "We don't just want to be strong in a given lift, we want to be strong when we move."

After the weight room, she hit the court again for shooting drills. Then came the unique part of Martin's training: Playing with a balloon for body control.

"We did these balloon tap finishes," said Schmarzo. "You gotta hit the balloon then adjust in the air and make a fun finish.

"Get rid of the ball, jump as high as you can, tapping the rim or the backboard, then get rid of the balloon and let loose and see what you can do."

We all know she hurt her prospects last year at LSU.

Seems like she may have been right to move on as she's performing much better at TCU and the stats are reflecting it.

After leading defeats over NC State and Notre Dame and averaging 19PPG, 5RPG, 7APG, 2 SPG do we think she has a chance at a second round draft pick? I see a Kate Martin/Nika Muhl like future for her but would love to hear others' thoughts.
