Fans and city leaders hope WNBA approves sale to move the Sun to Boston
Big news broke Saturday when reports said the minority owner of the Celtics reached a deal to buy the Connecticut Sun and move them to Boston. The group led by Steve Pagliuca bid a record $325 million for the WNBA franchise, with plans to move them to Massachusetts. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey wants this deal to be approved. 'Boston is the perfect place for a WNBA team. We are the hub of New England and the birthplace of basketball. We have an incredible sports culture and strong enthusiasm for women's sports, as evidenced by the Sun selling out TD Garden two years in a row. This would be a great opportunity for our state, for the League and for the players.' Governor Maura Healey Boston 25 spoke with fans outside of TD Garden Saturday night and they were excited at the thought of a women's basketball team coming to the city. 'I think it's crazy I think Boston should have been one of the first cities to get one,' Joseph Willingham said. 'It's insane.' Basketball fans have been waiting years for this and are pumped to hear it could finally be happening soon. 'Any women's team coming to the city is really exciting I definitely support them,' Allen Martin said. Boston City Councilor Brian Worrell is pushing for people to call on the WNBA to add a team to Boston. He's hoping and expecting this deal to go through. 'We heard from many, many fans here in Boston that want the 'W' here in the city,' Worrell said. 'We have the best fan base in the country so I wouldn't see why the WNBA would not approve this.' The sale is pending approval of the league and its Board of Governors. The franchise wouldn't play in Boston until the 2027 season at the earliest. 'I hope the league hears us loud and clear; we have a record deal,' Worrell said. 'Let's get this deal done, and hopefully the sun will rise in Boston.' This is a developing story.

Sex toy-throwing fan arrested for disrupting WNBA game between Valkyries, Dream
The fan who threw a green sex toy onto the court during a WNBA game between the Golden State Valkyries and Atlanta Dream on Tuesday has been arrested, according to a league spokesperson. That person has not been identified publicly. 'The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league. Objects of any kind thrown onto the court or in the seating area can pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans,' the spokesperson said. 'In line with WNBA Arena Security Standards, any fan who intentionally throws an object onto the court will be immediately ejected and face a minimum one-year ban in addition to being subject to arrest and prosecution by local authorities.' Advertisement Tuesday's incident occurred during the fourth quarter of the game in Atlanta, with less than a minute left on the clock. Television cameras briefly zoomed in on the sex toy before cutting away to another shot. Some WNBA players have laughed about the incident while also acknowledging it as a potential safety hazard. 'I mean, first of all, it was super dangerous. And then when we found out what it was, I guess we just started laughing,' Valkyries forward Cecilia Zandalasini said while chuckling during a postgame news conference. 'I've never seen anything like that. I'm just glad we worked through that situation. We stayed locked in, we stayed concentrated.' Other players, including the Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham and New York Liberty's Isabelle Harrison, criticized the move as a disrespectful security failure. ARENA SECURITY?! Hello??! Please do better. It's not funny. never was funny. Throwing ANYTHING on the court is so dangerous. — Isabelle Harrison (@OMG_itsizzyb) August 2, 2025 Fans on social media widely shared clips and pictures of the situation, and an apparent copycat threw a second green sex toy onto the court Friday during another Valkyries road game against the Chicago Sky. 'It's super disrespectful,' the Sky's Elizabeth Williams said after the game, which the Valkyries won 73-66. 'I don't really get the point of it. It's really immature. Whoever is doing it needs to grow up.' Atlanta police have not commented on the reported arrest.

Kayla McBride led a 3-point barrage, making 8 of 10 from beyond the arc, and the Minnesota Lynx set the WNBA record for the biggest road win, beating the Las Vegas Aces 111-58 on Saturday. McBride made all eight of her 3-point attempts in the first half and the Lynx was 13 for 14 as a team, leading to a 67-33 halftime lead.

She finished with 24 points. Jessica Shepard had 18 points and 14 rebounds for her fourth double-double of the season and second in nine days for the league-best Lynx (24-5). MVP candidate Napheesa Collier scored 18 points but left the game late in the third quarter with an ankle injury. Natisha Hiedeman added 17 points. Jewell Loyd had 12 points and reigning league MVP A'ja Wilson scored 10 for the Aces (14-14). The Lynx hit 4 of 5 3-pointers in the first five minutes of the game to build an 18-8 lead. They went on to hit 6 of 7 from deep and led 35-17 heading to the second quarter. During one stretch, Minnesota made nine consecutive 3s and led 67-33 at halftime. They pushed the lead to 92-49 entering the fourth quarter. Aces host Golden State on Sunday, and Lynx visit Seattle on Tuesday.
