I asked Morgan Shaw Parker about the amount that season tickets will increase next year moving from Gateway Center Arena to State Farm Arena. Here's what she told me. #WNBA I @theixsports.bsky.social

I can confirm that prices will go up, but also price points will go up. But the opportunity to open up different price codes, there's going to be a place for everyone at the price point that they want to pay, and so I can't tell you what that is because we're still learning. You know, we're still going through the playoffs right now, and every single playoff game, we're learning more in terms of what this market will bear, and so it's something that we'll announce at a later date.

I asked Karl Smesko if Rhyne Howard will keep guarding Breanna Stewart she has for about 92% of possessions in their four matchups, or if she will switch to guarding Sabrina Ionescu like we saw after the Allisha Gray injury. Here’s what he said. #WNBA I @theixsports.bsky.social

I think there'll be some different matchups. Like Rhy's done as good a job on Stewie as you can do. I mean, you're talking about one of the best players in the league. She's going to get some hers . But Rhy’s done a tremendous job. I mean, she'll get her opportunities there, but there'll be some rotations we have where we're going to have to have some different people guards Stewie.

Sigh. The Chicago Sky put out a statement about the Enes Freedom lawsuit #WNBA I @theixsports.bsky.social

We received word that the entity owning the Chicago Sky is being sued by Mr. Enes Kanter Freedom for allegedly violating his First Amendment rights. This lawsuit is meritless and frivolous.

Freedom’s claim that he was removed from Wintrust Arena due to his speech is false. As his own complaint acknowledges, he wore the shirt in question for multiple hours without any contact with security. Security removed Freedom only after he violated fan code of conduct by rising from his seat, gesturing at a player, and stepping toward the court.

Freedom was removed for his conduct, not his speech. We look forward to the truth prevailing in court.

At the advice of our legal counsel, given that there is now pending litigation, we will have no further public comments on the matter outside of the courtroom.”
