The Women's National Basketball Association's (WNBA) 26th season will be celebrated with the 2022 WNBA Season. It will include the Chicago Sky as the defending champions. The schedule will have 36 regular-season games per team - the highest number of games in a single WNBA WNBA season.
Chicago Sky wins WNBA Season
Parker is originally from Naperville in Illinois. She returned to Chicago Sky following 13 seasons with Los Angeles Sparks. She was hailed as the team's missing piece, a label that she proved to be true during the season's final game. Griner was, however, the heart of Phoenix's offense, scoring 28 points in the first quarter, with 18 of those coming in the second half. Skylar Digger-Smith and Griner were the team's leaders on a nine-point run that ended the second quarter.
Sylvia Fowles is WNBA’s all-time top scorer
Fowles is clearly happy despite her low performance in WNBA. She would rather be winning but she knows that life is far more important than basketball. She has never felt more confident about her ability and to achieve her goals.
Seattle Storm a perennial challenger
The defending WNBA champions, Seattle Storm, are currently in rebuilding mode. They won the title in 2010 on the shoulders of a senile Sue Bird and a dominant Australian stretch-5 Lauren Jackson. Jackson's departure caused a decline in the standings. But that didn't stop Storm from drafting new players for the 2015-2016 drafts.
Chicago Mercury a deep playoff team
The Mercury have made a number of trades in the off-season that should help them improve upon last season's performance. The team obtained Bridget Pettis', Jillian Alleyne's, Kim Smith's and the thirteenth pick in the 2012 draft. It also acquired two players from the WNBA Draft and a first pick in the Minnesota Lynx 2013 draft. They also traded first round picks to the Minnesota Lynx, Los Angeles Sparks, and Temeka John. The Mercury received a second round pick in 2013 and a pick in 2014 from the New York Liberty.
Washington Mystics Elena Delle Donne
Washington Mystic, Elena Delle Donne: This two-time WNBA MVP is entering her fourth season. In the regular season, she averaged more than 20 points per game and finished third in playoffs with a field goal percentage 50.8 percent. She was also selected for the All-Star Team for the sixth consecutive season. Last season, she led Washington Mystics towards their first WNBA Championship. She helped to set a variety of WNBA records and franchise records.
Chelsea Gray, Chicago Mercury
Gray, despite being overlooked for her fifth consecutive All-Star nomination, has seen a remarkable transformation among Gray's teammates. Gray is now a top-notch player in the league and has led her team to an impressive 4-0 record.
Seattle Storm's Sue Bird
Sue Bird, who had been considering quitting the WNBA in 2021, announced her intention to continue playing on Instagram. She will receive bonuses and endorsements in addition to a veteran minimum of $72,141. Bird informed her teammates about her decision at Wednesday's team dinner. She also spoke to her former teammates and other friends. In 2002, Storm drafted her. Later, she spoke with Karen Bryant (General Manager), who was her first boss.
