Philadelphia getting WNBA team as part of 3-team expansion by 2030: "The W's coming"
The WNBA is finally coming to Philadelphia as part of a three-city expansion by 2030, Commissioner Cathy Engelbert and the 76ers announced Monday. The Philly team, owned by Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, which also owns the Sixers, and Comcast Spectacor, will begin play in 2030. The announcement comes months after HBSE and Comcast announced a new shared arena with the Sixers and the Flyers set to open in 2031. "Philadelphia, the W's coming. Let's go, this is awesome," Harris said Monday. "To the city of Philly, this is your team. Philadelphia is a city about sports, and basketball in particular, including generations of extraordinary women's basketball talent, athletes who have shaped the game and inspired countless others." "For me and the community, bringing the WNBA to Philly wasn't just nice to have. It was an obligation." Harris said the WNBA team will give girls in the Philadelphia region a team to root for and be inspired by. "Sports have changed my life, and I've seen them change so many other lives," Harris said. "I have two daughters, one of whom is in the audience, and I believe deeply in the power of sports to inspire, uplift and teach. Lessons that carry far beyond athletics. Now, millions of girls will have the same opportunity." Engelbert, who is from Collingswood, New Jersey, cited the growing popularity of women's basketball and the WNBA beyond the latest expansion. The three new teams all have NBA ownership groups, and each paid a $250 million expansion fee. Engelbert, whose father, Kurt, played basketball at St. Joseph's University and is in the Big 5 Hall of Fame, also said the HBSE's long-term commitment to making a WNBA team work in Philadelphia was a key factor. "On behalf of the entire WNBA, I'm thrilled to welcome Cleveland and Detroit back and Philadelphia officially to the WNBA," Engelbert said. "These are proud cities with powerful sports legacies, each one rich in basketball tradition and fueled by passionate fan bases. We know they're going to show up for the W. Now, they join the most elite women's sports league in the world. It's far more than an expansion of our league. It's an evolution of it." Last year, while the Sixers were pushing to build a new arena in Center City, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker joined the call for the city to get a WNBA team. Parker said she believes the Sixers getting a new arena would help draw the league to Philadelphia. "We don't have a WNBA team here in the city of Philadelphia," Parker said in September 2024. "Do any of y'all ever notice that? Y'all know y'all mayor don't like that." In January, the Sixers' plans to build 76 Place at Market East were scrapped when the team and Comcast Spectacor announced plans for a new stadium in South Philadelphia. During the press conference announcing the shared arena in January, Emmy-winning comedian and actress Wanda Sykes also joined the fray to declare that now is the time to bring the WNBA to Philadelphia. This is a developing story and will be updated.

Tiffany Hayes scores 21, Valkyries rout Storm in 10th sellout at Ballhalla
Tiffany Hayes scored 21 points, Veronica Burton contributed 15 points, five rebounds and five assists, and the Golden State Valkyries ran away from the Seattle Storm for a 84-57 victory Sunday night. Valkyries leading scorer Kayla Thornton headed to the locker room at the 9:22 mark of the third quarter appearing to hold her neck, and the team said she was undergoing further evaluation without providing details of the injury. She shot 1 for 9 and missed all five of her 3-point tries, held to two points while grabbing five rebounds. Her teammates picked up the slack — on both ends of the floor. Skylar Diggins had 18 points, six assists and five rebounds for Seattle, which came in leading the league in field-goal percentage at 47.0% but was limited to a season-low 27% (20 for 74) by the stingy Golden State defense. The Storm had only been held below 40% once, shooting 33.3% in the season opener at Phoenix on May 17. Golden State Valkyries guard Kaitlyn Chen (2) celebrates a score during WNBA game against the Seattle Storm on June 29, 2025 at the Chase Center in San Francisco. Matthew Huang/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Laeticia Amihere added 15 points and eight rebounds as the Valkyries jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead before Nneka Ogwumike's shot at the 6:58 mark and made five of their first eight shots for a 13-4 advantage. Ogwumike, who starred at nearby Stanford, finished with eight points on 3-of-10 shooting and seven rebounds. The Storm had won four of five. Both teams struggled from 3-point range — Seattle went 6 of 28 and the Valkyries 8 of 27. Golden State center Temi Fágbénlé played 20 minutes after resting for two games upon returning from a brief absence to play for Great Britain in the EuroBasket 2025 tournament. The game attracted some famous fans among the sellout crowd of 18,064 — Golden State's 10th in as many home games at Chase Center — including Warriors two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry, South Carolina women's coach Dawn Staley, former Storm and U.S. star Sue Bird and U.S. soccer great Megan Rapinoe. Valkyries guard Carla Leite missed her fourth straight game with a back injury. Seattle goes on a three-game East Coast trip beginning Thursday at Atlanta. The Valkyries play at Minnesota on Saturday.

Dolphins reportedly trade Jalen Ramsey to Steelers as team loads up with Aaron Rodgers
The Miami Dolphins have traded cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the Pittsburgh Steelers after two seasons in South Beach, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Ramsey confirmed the deal in a video on X. The transaction happened after the Dolphins publicly made it known that they were willing to trade the 10-year veteran. Advertisement After a disastrous end to their season, Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said moving Ramsey was the "best chance to help us win not only just this year but in the future as well." "Really after a couple weeks of discussions between ourselves internally and Jalen and his representation, we decided that it was probably in the best interest for all parties to move forward," Grier said. "I will say these decisions aren't done quickly and they're not taken lightly because we spent a lot of time this offseason working through this, talking through things. At the end of the day, Jalen did not ask for a trade. "We went through the process, and I just felt that after numerous conversations and then talking last week with Jalen and his agent, that it was best to move forward, and it was best interest of the Miami Dolphins and for Jalen Ramsey." Advertisement In his second season with the team, Miami finished with an 8-9 record and missed the playoff for the first time in three years. Ramsey tallied 60 tackles, a sack, and two interceptions for seven yards. Ramsey has since been linked to the Los Angeles Rams, whom he helped win the Super Bowl in 2020. The FSU product spent four years in Jacksonville and LA before joining Miami in 2023. Given his history with the team, Rams coach Sean McVay expressed his interest in welcoming Ramsey back to their roster. 'We certainly haven't closed the door on that,' McVay said of Ramsey in late May. 'But there hasn't been a whole lot of dialogue as of late. We'll see if that changes, but these things can happen quickly.' Advertisement Ramsey signed an extension in 2024 and was due to earn $24.2 million this season, per Over The Cap. His contract became less of a hindrance to trade after June 1, as the $25.213 million cap charge dropped by $18.468 million. This story will be updated.
