The Women's National Basketball Association's (WNBA) 26th season will be celebrated with the 2022 WNBA Season. It will feature the Chicago Sky, the defending champions. Additionally, the schedule will feature 36 regular-season games for each team - the most WNBA seasons.
Chicago Sky wins WNBA league season
Parker, originally from Naperville (Ill.), returned home to Chicago Sky in the midst of 13 seasons playing for the Los Angeles Sparks. She was described as the team's missing link, a title she proved to have been true in the season's last game. Griner was the offensive center for Phoenix, scoring 28 point, 18 of them in the first-half. Skylar Diggins Smith and Griner led the team to a 9-point run at the end of the second quarter.
Sylvia Fowles, the WNBA's leading scorer all-time, is Sylvia Fowles
Fowles, despite her poor performance in the WNBA's finals, is clearly happy. She has never felt happier in her entire life. She would rather be winning but she knows that life is far more important than basketball. Because of this, she is more confident now than ever about her ability to make an impact and achieve her goals.
Seattle Storm, a perennial contender
The defending WNBA champions Seattle Storm are in the midst a reconstruction process. In 2010, the champions were won on the shoulders a formidable Australian stretch-5 Lauren Jackson and an ageless Sue Bird. The standings fell due to Jackson's absence. Storm didn't stop them from drafting players in the 2015 & 2016 drafts.
Chicago Mercury a deep playoff team
The Mercury made several trades during the off-season, which should allow them to improve on last season's performance. The team traded Bridget Pettis (Jillian Alleyne), Kim Smith, and the thirteenth selection of the 2012 draft for two players in WNBA Draft as well as a first round pick from the Minnesota Lynx in 2013. They also traded first round picks to the Minnesota Lynx, Los Angeles Sparks, and Temeka John. In return, the Mercury received a second-round pick in the 2013 draft and a third-round pick in the 2014 draft from the New York Liberty.
Washington Mystics' Elena Delle Donne
Washington Mystic's Elena Delle Donne will be entering her fourth season as a member of the team. She is the two-time WNBA champion. She averaged over 20 point per game in the regular season and ranked third in playoffs with an average field goal percentage of 50.8%. She was also named to the All-Star roster for the sixth season. She was the leader of Washington Mystics to their first WNBA Championship. She helped to set a variety of WNBA records and franchise records.
Chicago Mercury's Chelsea Gray
Despite being passed over for her fifth straight All-Star nod, Gray's teammates have seen a transformation in the Chicago Mercury's star point guard. Gray has emerged as one of the league's best, making big plays and leading her team towards a 4-0 record.
Seattle Storm's Sue Bird
Sue Bird announced that she will continue to play in the WNBA after 2021's season. She will be paid a minimum veteran salary of $72,141, and she will also receive endorsements and bonuses.
