  • Will the WNBA bring more balance to their schedule? + Paige Bueckers’ record-breaking night
    A record-breaking 2025 season continues for the WNBA, and Zena and Sabreena are back to break down two of the biggest moments of the week: Sue Bird’s statue unveiling in Seattle and Paige Bueckers’ rookie-record 44 points against the Sparks, even in a losing effort. They also touch on some more injury news out of Indiana and Dallas and even more drama regarding the attempted sale of the Connecticut Sun. Then, it’s time for a big discussion on the WNBA schedule and why it has been such a hot topic of conversation among players and fans this season. Zena and Sabreena get into what parameters the league has to consider when creating the calendar and how this will change moving forward as the WNBA adds more teams and has to potentially expand its footprint. They talk about how the schedule may factor into health and safety and what the players are saying about the cadence of games before putting on their commissioner’s caps and making some suggestions for the league in 2026 and beyond. Finally, it’s time to set your screens for what Zena and Sabreena are watching this weekend. _________________References:Paige Bueckers ties rookie single-game scoring record in Wings’ narrow loss to Sparks by Sabreena MerchantWhy has the sale of the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun become so complicated? by Mike VorkunovThe Making of the WNBA schedule at WNBA.com _________________Visit our YouTube page!_________________Get in touch!
