The WNBA continues to lead the way on its own terms

When we reflect on movements in time that pushed for racial equality and justice, the story around Black women and the integral role they’ve played often goes untold.

Wickenheiser takes the lead at Leafs development camp

Maple Leafs’ senior director of player development Hayley Wickenheiser has had to be mindful of the impact that COVID-19 related shutdowns have had on the 39 young players participating in Toronto’s annual rookie session. The focus during the next few days, Kristen Shilton writes, will be on “a little less thinking, and a little more playing and competing” so team staff can assess where each player is at in terms of their “full package” of skills.

In the shadow of George Floyd Square, the Minnesota Lynx remain steadfast in the fight for racial justice

The murder of George Floyd, a Black man, by then-Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin on May 25, 2020, put the Lynx once again at the physical epicenter in the fight for racial justice.
