McBride made 10 of 14 shots from behind the arc and finished with a career-high 43 points — and she did it in front of a home crowd that seemed to be urging her to chase the record.
The record breaker came with 2:23 to play and gave the Lynx a 98-83 lead. She left the game with 1:21 remaining to a roaring ovation. Afterward, she thanked the fans and the organization for their support.

The Indiana Fever edged out the Chicago Sky 90–86 in a high-intensity showdown at the United Center.
Fever Guard Kelsey Mitchell spearheaded Indiana’s victory as the game’s top performer, dropping a team-high 27 points to anchor the offense. Her stellar scoring was bolstered by Caitlin Clark, who racked up 26 points and 11 assists in a masterful double-double game.

The contest wasn’t without drama. During the third quarter, Clark received a controversial technical foul after stumbling out of bounds and inadvertently bumping into an official. Fever head coach Stephanie White immediately came to Clark’s defense, furiously arguing the call as pure incidental contact and earning a technical foul of her own. The WNBA quickly rescinded Clark’s technical post-game, saving her from an automatic suspension.

Professional women’s basketball is making its long-awaited return to Northeast Ohio under a bold new identity: the Cleveland Sirens. Unveiled by Rock Entertainment Group at Rocket Arena, the name marks the official branding of the WNBA’s 16th expansion franchise, which is scheduled to begin play in the 2028 season.
Departing from the city’s original WNBA moniker—the Cleveland Rockers—the Sirens brand draws direct inspiration from Greek mythology and the magnetic power of Lake Erie. Designed to reflect a spirit that is sharp, fearless, and unapologetic, the identity highlights a presence built to command attention. The team’s visual palette introduces Sirens Blue, Erie Blue, and a mint foam accent, incorporating wave motifs that pay homage to both local geography and the rising tide of women’s athletics.
Led by team president Allison Howard, the franchise has already secured major community partnerships and thousands of season-ticket deposits well ahead of its debut. Sharing Rocket Arena with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Sirens are set to deliver year-round professional basketball back to Northeast Ohio.
In one of the most explosive offensive clashes of the WNBA season, the Minnesota Lynx held off a relentless fourth-quarter rally by the Indiana Fever to secure a 108–100 victory at Target Center. Both teams came out firing in a blistering first quarter that ended tied at 36 points apiece—matching the league record for the highest-scoring opening period. Minnesota seized control in the second quarter to build a 64–53 halftime lead, eventually extending their advantage to 96–82 midway through the fourth quarter before Indiana mounted a furious late run.
Indiana cut the deficit to 100–98 with under three minutes remaining, but crucial late baskets from Minnesota’s backcourt sealed the win. The Lynx out-executed Indiana down the stretch, capitalizing on a 12 to 6 turnover advantage and an 11–5 edge on the offensive glass to notch their 10th consecutive victory.
Rookie sensation Olivia Miles spearheaded Minnesota’s hyper-efficient offense, pouring in 28 points. Miles set the tone in the second quarter with a dominant 14-point frame that gave the Lynx room to breathe. Paired with Courtney Williams’ 27-point effort, Miles displayed poise beyond her years, orchestrating key possessions in the final minutes to fend off Indiana’s comeback attempt.
Veteran guard Kelsey Mitchell was nearly unstoppable for Indiana, finishing with a game-high 37 points on a remarkably efficient 14-of-21 shooting from the field, including 6-of-8 from beyond the arc. The performance marked her fifth 30-point game of the season and her 14th consecutive game scoring 20+ points—the second-longest such streak in WNBA history behind only A’ja Wilson.

The Indiana Fever closed out the first half of their 2026 season with an offensive clinic, thrashing the Connecticut Sun 123-88 on Wednesday, July 22, in their final game before the WNBA All-Star break. The 35-point margin marked the second-largest win in franchise history, while the 123 points set a new single-game franchise record.
Indiana’s star trio — all set to represent the Fever at All-Star Weekend in Chicago — set the tone from the opening tip. Caitlin Clark posted a commanding double-double with 27 points and 11 assists, shooting an efficient 8-of-13 from the field, including 5-of-9 from beyond the arc. Kelsey Mitchell continued her hot streak, adding 23 points and knocking down at least three three-pointers for the tenth straight game. Aliyah Boston rounded out the trio with a strong all-around performance in the paint.
The Fever were nearly unstoppable from deep, connecting on 11 of 22 three-point attempts while shooting 62% overall from the field — building a big first-half lead they never relinquished. Connecticut struggled to keep pace, with Diamond Miller leading the Sun with 15 points in a game Connecticut played without Aaliyah Edwards and Brittney Griner.
Carrying big momentum into the break, Indiana (17-10) heads into All-Star Weekend looking like one of the most dangerous offenses in the league.

The 2026 WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday, July 25, headlines a feature-packed, three-day weekend of basketball action. The festivities kick off Friday, July 24, at Wintrust Arena with the Kia WNBA Shooting Stars and the State Farm WNBA 3-Point Contest, broadcasting live on ESPN at 8 p.m. ET.

Kelsey Mitchell led the charge with a spectacular 33-point masterpiece on a hyper-efficient 10-of-14 shooting from the field. It marked Mitchell’s second consecutive 30-point outing, punishing the Liberty defense relentlessly. Point guard Caitlin Clark contributed 17 points and 7 assists, including a critical third-quarter three-point play that ignited a decisive 16–2 run to hand the Fever their first lead.

The Liberty relied heavily on their franchise leader, Breanna Stewart, who did everything possible to keep New York afloat by scoring a team-high 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting. However, New York folded under the Fever’s pressure, turning the ball over nine times in the third quarter alone. Indiana capitalized on those mistakes, outscoring New York 63–39 in the secondhalf to secure a statement 20-point victory. The Liberty remain without Satou Sabally, who is still in concussion protocol, and Leonie Fiebich, who is nursing a left foot injury.

In a thrilling WNBA showdown, the Indiana Fever narrowly defeated the Seattle Storm 110-107, powered by a truly historic performance from Caitlin Clark. Despite operating under strict minutes restrictions, Clark made every second of her 29 minutes count.

While Indiana celebrated history, the Storm showed a bright future driven by their young talent. Dominique Malonga was absolutely dominant inside, racking up 28 points and 14 rebounds. She was flanked by strong performances from Flau’jae Johnson and Awa Fam, who scored 16 points apiece, alongside Jade Melbourne’s 15-point contribution.

The Indiana Fever delivered a dominant statement win, routing the Las Vegas Aces 109-75 behind a historic collective effort. Leading the charge was Kelsey Mitchell, who carved her name into the history books by becoming only the fifth player in WNBA history to score 25 or more points in six consecutive games. Mitchell’s game-high 27 points set a fierce tone for an explosive Indiana offense.

Facing the second leg of a back-to-back and playing without an injured Caitlin Clark, Indiana’s depth and grit were tested to the absolute limit.
The true drama unfolded in the final five minutes of the game. Midway through the fourth quarter, the Mercury seemed in complete control, holding a commanding 10-point lead. Refusing to back down, the Fever orchestrated a furious late-game surge. They put together a blistering 23-10 run, anchored by lockdown defensive plays—including Makayla Timpson’s spectacular, high-stakes block on Phoenix star Kahleah Copper (“KK”) that denied the Mercury a critical basket and shifted the momentum entirely.

The WNBA All-Star Weekend is set for July 23–25. The centerpiece of the three-day celebration is the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday, July 25. Leading up to the game, fans can enjoy the Kia WNBA Shooting Stars and the State Farm WNBA 3-Point Contest on Friday, July 24, airing on ESPN at 8 p.m. ET from Wintrust Arena. Additionally, the WNBA Live fan festival, presented by AWS, will run from Thursday evening through Saturday at McCormick Place.
The Indiana Fever secured a milestone 84-68 victory over the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday night, marking their first-ever franchise win against the Aces in Las Vegas.
The highly anticipated matchup lacked its usual generational marquee billing, as both teams played short-handed. Indiana’s electric guard Caitlin Clark was sidelined for her third consecutive game while recovering from a back injury. Meanwhile, Las Vegas was forced to operate without their anchor and four-time league MVP, A’ja Wilson, who missed her third straight game due to an ankle injury.
Despite the missing star power, the Fever capitalized on a dominant second-half surge. The undisputed top performer of the night was Indiana guard Kelsey Mitchell. Celebrating her recent All-Star starter selection, Mitchell put on a masterclass by scoring a game-high 27 points, converting 10-of-12 free throws, and hitting timely buckets whenever Las Vegas threatened. She was supported by Aliyah Boston, who dominated the interior with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Jackie Young led the struggling Aces with 15 points, but Las Vegas simply could not find their rhythm, collapsing to their lowest-scoring output of the season.

The Indiana Fever will play the first game of a back-to-back road stretch this Thursday against the LA Sparks, followed by a matchup against the Phoenix Mercury on Friday. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Aces will have almost a week off before traveling to Portland to take on the Fire this Friday.
In this year’s Cup Finals, Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionsecu lead the Liberty to their second Commissioner’s Cup championship in front of their home crowd. Sabrina Ionescu scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists – her best offensive game of the season, while Breanna Stewart added 25 points and 11 rebounds to help the Liberty beat the Las Vegas Aces 93-85.
The Las Vegas Aces are playing without their leading scorer and four-time MVP A’ja Wilson, who injured her right ankle on Sunday in a win over Chicago.
New York Liberty captured their second WNBA Commissioner’s Cup in 3 years. They won the cup in 2023 against the Las Vegas Aces as well.
The Indiana Fever guard makes history as the inaugural athlete to join the Puma “Hali” franchise, a specialized sub-brand spearheaded by NBA star Tyrese Haliburton. Both dynamic guards share a close friendship and represent Indianapolis sports while rocking the number zero on their jerseys.

It took four overtime periods and every last drop of energy on the floor, but the Washington Mystics finally outlasted the Portland Fire 124–123 in one of the most exhausting and electrifying games of the 2026 WNBA season. The 3-hour, 35-minute marathon featured 21 ties and 12 lead changes, completely exhausting both rosters.
The game finally ended in a dramatic fourth overtime. With under two minutes remaining, the squads traded desperate possessions. Fighting through severe leg cramps, Washington’s Sonia Citron caught a clutch pass and converted a gritty layup to give the Mystics a 124-122 lead with just 21.4 seconds on the clock. Portland’s rookie sensation Carla Leite attacked the basket on the next possession, drawing a foul with 13.1 seconds left. Under immense pressure, Leite split her free throws, leaving the Fire trailing by one. After a frantic scramble, Leite got one final look—a driving runner at the buzzer—but it bounced off the back rim as time expired.
Full game highlights;
Sonia Citron led all scorers with a career-high 32 points for the Mystics. Portland was propelled by Carla Leite, who mirrored Citron with her own career-high 32 points alongside 9 assists, while Sarah Ashlee Barker added 25 on 62.5% shooting and 6 rebounds.
