## Resource

The WNBA is navigating a storm of injuries, with All-Star stars A’ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark sidelined—though both are expected back soon—while Kelsey Plum faces a longer recovery. Wilson was held out as a precaution, her coach hinting she could’ve played in the playoffs. Napheesa Collier, last season’s MVP runner-up, is also rehabbing after offseason ankle surgeries but is back in practice. Meanwhile, Breanna Stewart shines as Player of the Week, and the league celebrates a milestone: Geno Auriemma and Robin Roberts will call their first ESPN WNBA game together, 30 years after the league’s first broadcast on the network. Roberts reflects on the WNBA’s remarkable growth and rising global respect. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
