Elena Delle Donne, Candace Parker, and seven other honourees were formally inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame at a ceremony in Springfield, Massachusetts on Saturday evening. The star-studded 2026 class also included Chamique Holdsclaw, Amar'e Stoudemire, coaches Mike D'Antoni, Doc Rivers, and Mark Few, referee Joey Crawford, and the legendary 1996 United States Women's National Team. Delle Donne delivered an emotional speech crediting her sister Lizzie as her greatest inspiration.
The Minnesota Lynx extended their winning streak to four games with a 92-87 victory over the Las Vegas Aces. Rookie guard Olivia Miles led the way with 23 points and eight assists, while Napheesa Collier added 19 points. Minnesota were clinical from three-point range, draining 11 triples, and converted 15 of 16 free throws. The result secures a playoff spot for the Lynx, who now face the Golden State Valkyries next.
Caiya Hanks marked a remarkable return from a 14-month ACL injury with a stoppage-time winner as the Portland Thorns edged the Orlando Pride 2-1 in the NWSL. Deyna Castellanos had opened the scoring before Jacqueline Ovalle equalised for Orlando, setting the stage for Hanks' dramatic late intervention.
NJ/NY Gotham FC secured their first-ever regular-season win over Kansas City Current, coming from behind to triumph 2-1 on Broadway Night. Sam Kerr scored the decisive goal, becoming Gotham's all-time leading regular-season scorer in the process. The victory extends Gotham's unbeaten run to eight matches, with four consecutive wins.
Lena Oberdorf is fully involved in FC Bayern Munich training sessions after recovering from two ACL tears in her right knee within 15 months. The Germany midfielder will sit out the Supercup clash with VfL Wolfsburg, however, with her medical team retaining control over her return timeline. Georgia Stanway's departure has opened a key midfield spot for Oberdorf to fill.
Spanish defender Mapi León gave her first in-depth interview since joining London City Lionesses from Barcelona, expressing excitement about the WSL's physical style of play.

The Filipino star now faces ninth seed Amanda Anisimova, with a career-high ranking of world No. 17 within reach. Meanwhile, Coco Gauff is targeting an elusive 2026 title at the tournament where she won her maiden Masters crown in 2023, and world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka said she relishes the pressure of being the top-ranked player.
Unbeaten two-time Olympic gold medallist Claressa Shields returns to the middleweight division tonight for a WBC and WBA title fight against Australia's Kaye Scott at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Shields brings an 18-0 professional record to the ring, while Scott carries a 5-1-1 slate.
The WNBA has been forced to address a surge of online abuse and broader cultural debates surrounding the league during its 30th anniversary season.
