The WNBA regular season heats up as the league settles in after its opening week.

Dallas Wings vs. Washington Mystics

Friday at 7 p.m. ET on NBC Sports app

Fresh off their win over the Las Vegas Aces, the Mystics host the Wings. The squad will hope to keep its perfect 3-0 start to the season going, led by Elena Delle Donne and Myisha Hines-Allen, while Natasha Cloud is sidelined in the healthy and safety protocols.

The Wings’ offense was quiet in their season opener against the Atlanta Dream, with Arike Ogunbowale held to single digits. Dallas will look to get Ogunbowale and others involved as the team aims to turn its offense around.

Indiana Fever vs. New York Liberty

The Liberty will host the Fever at the Barclays Center in a Commissioner’s Cup fixture.

Didi Richards has been ruled as probable for the matchup in what would be her 2022 debut with New York. Her side will need her as the Liberty is coming off a 33-point loss to the Chicago Sky and needs to put on a solid performance against an exciting, young Fever squad led by rookie Destanni Henderson.

Phoenix Mercury vs. Seattle Storm

Saturday at 3 p.m. ET on ABC

Seattle will be looking for redemption on Saturday after the Mercury defeated the Storm 97-77 on Wednesday night.

The Storm was without Breanna Stewart due to health and safety protocols and struggled to contain Tina Charles and Skylar Diggins, who notched 22 points and 19 points, respectively.

Saturday will be the second of three regular-season meetings between longtime rivals and friends Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi in what is speculated to be Bird’s last WNBA season.

Los Angeles Sparks vs. Connecticut Sun

Saturday at 7 p.m. ET on Facebook

The Sparks will travel east to take on the Connecticut Sun at Mohegan Sun Arena. The Sun will aim to notch their first win of the season after falling in their opener to the Liberty.

Los Angeles, however, will be a formidable opponent with Liz Cambage providing an interesting counter to Connecticut forward Jonquel Jones.

Chicago Sky vs. Minnesota Lynx

Saturday at 8 p.m. ET on NBA TV

Minnesota will host reigning WNBA champion Chicago after registering three straight losses to start the season. The Lynx have endured a considerable amount of roster shifts, with the team signing guard Moriah Jefferson ahead of Saturday’s game.

The Sky enter their Minnesota matchup on the heels of a commanding 33-point victory over the Liberty.

Dallas Wings vs. New York Liberty

Sunday at 2 p.m. ET on YES Network app, Bally Sports Southwest Extra

The Wings and the Liberty have been cold in their previous games, so both teams will be looking to get their offenses going.

In Dallas’ regular-season opener, Marina Mabrey and Allisha Gray scored in the double figures, with Isabella Harrison and Arike Ogunbowale held to six and eight points, respectively.

New York shot 33.3 percent from the field and 13.3 percent from beyond the arc in Wednesday’s loss to the Sky.

Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream

Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime

Sunday’s Commissioner’s Cup contest between Indiana and Atlanta will be a battle of the rookies.

Rhyne Howard has been lighting up the court for the Dream, while Destanni Henderson has led the Fever like a seasoned guard in her first season with the team.

The contested bronze medal from the 2024 Paris Olympics women's gymnastics floor exercise is heading back to court for fresh examination. The same controversy produced an iconic photograph of Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles honoring gold medalist Rebeca Andrade.

Switzerland's supreme court announced Thursday that judges have returned the gymnastics case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to review new evidence in what they termed highly exceptional circumstances. The ruling offers Jordan Chiles renewed hope of reclaiming the bronze medal initially awarded to her in Paris.

The issue centers on whether Team USA submitted a scoring appeal within the required one-minute deadline. Afterwards, Biles and Chiles created a celebrated Olympic moment at the gymnastics medal ceremony when both kneeled to honor Brazil's Andrade as she stepped onto the podium's top position.

Days after, Romania successfully appealed to CAS. The bronze medal was subsequently reassigned to Ana Maria Barbosu and presented to her in Bucharest, with the decision hinging on the US team's challenge.

The Swiss Federal Tribunal now wants CAS to examine recordings from the August 5th event that demonstrate the appeal meeting the deadline. The court indicated this evidence could likely sway the ruling in favor of Chiles.

Chiles' lawyer Maurice M. Suh expressed satisfaction with the decision, stating the video evidence conclusively supports his client's claim to the gymnastics bronze medal. He confirmed Chiles will vigorously defend her position during the review process, which could take at least one year to complete.

The 24-year-old UCLA gymnast has moved forward despite facing online criticism, some racially motivated, following the initial controversy. Chiles returned to the mat for UCLA while embracing opportunities with Dancing with the Stars, Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue, and NWSL side Angel City.

Alexandra Eala saw her dream of capturing a first WTA title on home soil end Thursday, as the Filipino tennis star fell to Camila Osorio 6-4, 6-4 in the inaugural Philippine Women's Open quarterfinals.

The matchup pitted the former US Open junior champions against each other in their first professional meeting. However, Alexandra Eala proved unable to overcome the Colombian, as the world No. 49 struggled to find her rhythm against the No. 84.

The opening set saw three double-faults from each competitor, as both had difficulty finding consistency in their serves. Osorio later broke through in the seventh game of the first set, then held serve to build a 5-3 advantage. Alexandra Eala could not recover, dropping the opening frame 6-4.

The second set remained competitive through the first eight games, with the score deadlocked at 4-4 after multiple service breaks by both players. However, Osorio elevated her performance at the crucial moment, breaking Alexandra Eala's serve in the ninth game before closing out the match in the 10th.

Statistical analysis revealed tight margins between the players. Both converted second-serve points at an identical 50% rate. The difference emerged on first serves, where Osorio's 59% conversion rate surpassed Alexandra Eala's 51% efficiency, proving decisive in the straight-sets victory.

"I think it was an overall good week," Eala said postmatch.

"Of course, I'm disappointed about today. I definitely think I've had better days, but it's just how it is. I have to accept it, and there’s always next week."

The hit Apple TV show Ted Lasso is switching sides, with the streamer announcing details about the upcoming Season 4 release — including the series' new focus on women's football — on Wednesday.

"In season four, Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women's football team," reads Apple TV's Wednesday statement. "Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would."

Currently in production, Ted Lasso stars Jason Sudeikis, who previously picked up a pair of Emmys for his role as the titular character, with the longtime women's sports fan also serving as executive producer of the series.

Fan favorites Juno Temple, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift also return to reprise their roles alongside the Emmy-winning Hannah Waddingham and two-time Emmy winner Brett Goldstein, who also executive produces and writes for the show.

Debuting in August 2020, the smash-hit shattered records, earning the most Emmy nominations for a comedy show in its first season. It later took home the award for Outstanding Comedy Series in both 2021 and 2022.

Season 4 of Ted Lasso will premiere this summer.

The 15th WNBA team is starting to spark, with incoming expansion side Portland Fire dropping their inaugural 2026 jersey designs this week.

"Our 2026 jerseys are an embodiment this new era of the team: bold, innovative, and resilient," said Fire senior VP of marketing and communications Kimberly Veale in the team's Wednesday press release. "Every element was shaped with Portland in mind, honoring our legacy, while capturing the spirit and energy of this incredible city we represent."

The two-jersey lineup includes the white WNBA Nike Heroine Edition with "Fire" written on the front "signifying the city's passion for the team," as well as a red WNBA Nike Explorer Edition "celebrating the Fire's legacy" in the league's return to Portland.

Both jerseys also feature a left shoulder patch for sponsor Chime, after the financial services company officially signed on to be the team's banking and credit partner on Tuesday.

Additionally, the franchise unveiled new secondary "PDX" logos on Wednesday, designed to reference local geographic icons like the Willamette River and Mt. Hood.

Notably, the team is still without a roster, as ongoing CBA negotiations have thrown the WNBA calendar in flux.

Barring a work stoppage, the first-ever Portland Fire game will tip off against the visiting Chicago Sky on Saturday, May 9th.

How to buy a Portland Fire WNBA jersey

While the white "Heroine Edition" is not yet available for purchase, fans can now buy an "Explorer" jersey, as well as apparel from the new PDX logo capsule collection, at the Portland Fire's online Team Shop.
