## Resource

The biggest move of the 2026 WNBA season is here. Kelsey Plum is heading to the Phoenix Mercury in a blockbuster trade that could completely reshape the championship race.

We also recap an incredible weekend across the WNBA: 🏀 Lynx outlast the Fever in a battle of contenders 🏀 Shakira Austin dominates as the Mystics win their fourth straight 🏀 A'ja Wilson and Jackie Young lead the Aces to an overtime victory over the Sky
