Silver Stars sign their own French point guard

(First off, the headline choice is shamelessly ripped from my old 4th Floor buddies at the San Antonio Express-News).
Anyway, the San Antonio Silver Stars signed Edwige Lawson-Wade, the starting point guard from the French national team, to a free-agent deal today. Lawson has been playing in Europe and […]

Team USA falls to China in Good Luck games

Team USA came back from a double-digit deficit, but they fell just short of Team China 84-81 in the gold medal game of the Good Luck Beijing Tournament.

New York Liberty to stream games this season

While perusing for training camp fodder, I came across this little nugget.

Liveblogging the WNBA Draft

Unless Candace Parker’s arm falls off between now and the next few minutes, she’ll be the No. 1 pick by the Los Angeles Sparks.
I don’t think you can hold any of LA’s stats last season against them as depleted as their roster was.
12:05 p.m. - I don’t think LA can really waste any time unless […]
