Nothing on the Board

No games yesterday. No games today. The 2026 WNBA season has played its final buzzer, and the league is now in full offseason mode.

That means free agency, the expansion draft, offseason trades, and the 2027 draft are all on the horizon. It also means roster decisions, coaching staff news, and the first wave of offseason moves will start trickling out in the coming days and weeks.

What to Watch For

• Free agency: The offseason signing period opens soon. Keep an eye on which stars hit the open market and where they land.
• Awards: If postseason awards haven't been announced yet, expect MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and All-WNBA team honors shortly.
• Coaching carousel: The offseason typically brings staff changes around the league. Watch for any head coaching vacancies or extensions.
• 2027 Draft prep: College standouts are already drawing early buzz. We'll track the top prospects as the season progresses.

We'll be back with a full digest as news breaks. Enjoy the rest day.
