You're going to have to peel me off the court. I want to be so damn tired. Like, I want to just be able to give everything." • DeWanna Bonner on the brutal travel: "It for sure feels longer... it's 4½ hours back and forth. I can absolutely feel the difference ... you feel it mentally and you feel it physically." • Kiah Stokes on the mental chess match: "We know the schemes, they know our set... Who can execute the game plan more? And it comes down to who wants it more?" • Gabby Williams on the mental fatigue: "You're tired of seeing them... You can tell -- the handshakes feel a little softer before the game and stuff... This is probably going to be the hardest game that we will play in our entire lives, honestly, because both teams want it so bad." • Allisha Gray on staying poised: "You can't let your opponent win the mental game... so the biggest thing is just staying poised and staying within yourself." • Veronica Burton on resilience: Reflecting on bouncing back after Game 6, noting that despite early deficits, "We didn't quit."

Should the WNBA do business with controversial prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket, just like the NBA, its counterpart? 🏀🤔 The official spokesperson for the @WNBA told FOS that they are "assessing the commercial opportunity" to do business with prediction markets after the NBA's deal with the aforementioned ones went through earlier this week, with "critical integrity protections" put in place. This is because the @NBA and WNBA sign separate direct deals for rights and intellectual property despite operating out of the same office in New York City, with the NBA owning 42% of the WNBA. Notably, as per the report from Colin Salao and Ben Horney of FOS, Kalshi has interest in doing business with the WNBA, but their representative declined to comment on whether discussions for a deal took place. While there is no real information about whether the WNBA will strike a deal with prediction markets anytime soon, the source in the aforementioned report stated that the organization "continues to evaluate the category" and will make a decision "at the appropriate time." Moreover, two of the primary sportsbook partners for the WNBA are DraftKings and FanDuel, just like the NBA.

Sophie Cunningham reveals @WNBA's Wild World of Dating and shuts down the rumors about Lesbian Mafia in the league while chatting with internet personality Theo Von. 🏀😳 When @TheoVon asked Sophie Cunningham on his podcast about whether two exes get along while playing with or against each other, and other scenarios of the same kind, the Indiana Fever star had this to say: "Oh, there is a web. There's a web, but it's, like, fascinating. I'm on the outside of that web, so like I just kind of sit back and eat my popcorn and watch it all unfold, and it's entertaining. It's fun." 🗣️ In response to that, Von questioned @sophaller about the rumors about Lesbian Mafia in the WNBA and possible tensions between straight, bisexual, and gay players. "Dude, honestly, I'm like strictly d***ly, so I have no idea. Like I don't know who the mafia is," she remarked. Also, Sophie Cunningham stated that she is attracted to men, does not care about other people's sexuality, and does not concern herself with teammates' or opponents' personal relationships in the league.

RECORD ALERT: Golden State Valkyries Are on the Verge of Making History, With Annual Gross Revenue Expected to Soar to $130 Million in Just Their Second Year of Existence! 🏀💰 According to Sportico reporter Kurt Badenhausen (@kbadenhausen), if the Golden State Valkyries reach this record-setting number during the ongoing WNBA Finals, then it will put them ahead of 28 teams out of 30 in the MLS. During the 2026 regular season of the @WNBA, they already became the first women's sports team to generate $100 million. The key element for their impressive financial growth has to be the consistent team performances translating into strong brand partnerships, merchandise sales, single-game ticket sales during 47 straight sell-outs at the Chase Center, which holds 18,064 fans, and much more. Moreover, in their first season of the WNBA in 2025, the Golden State @valkyries made $78 million, which was 48% more than the Indiana Fever in second place, despite losing in the first round of the playoffs. Also, will they beat the Atlanta Dream in Game 7 of the WNBA Finals to clinch the title for the first time in their history? Drop your predictions below. 👇
