Spurs' Victor Wembanyama shares a special bond with rising French WNBA stars Dominique Malonga and Gabby Williams of the Seattle Storm.

The Dallas Wings fought back late in the first half and in the third quarter, but it was not enough to overcome Seattle Storm's Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins' hot shooting in the second half. The team lost 71-79 to the Storm Monday night.

Throughout her career, Bueckers has been a winner. She's looking to take the Wings to being a championship contender throughout her tenure with the team. In her final year under Geno Auriemma at UConn, Bueckers led the Huskies to a national championship.

Here's what ex-UConn women's basketball star Paige Bueckers said after her 19-point game in the Dallas Wings' loss to the Seattle Storm.

Satou Sabally and Alyssa Thomas were impressive in their Phoenix debut, leading the Mercury over the Seattle Storm in each team's WNBA opener.

Liberty and Lynx don't miss a beat during opening weekend, while Mercury and Mystics look better than expected.

The Mystics are in the midst of a major rebuild, but their 94-90 win over the Atlanta Dream could be a sign they'll fare better than their preseason expectations. As a Washington, D.C., native, Durant had to be excited with first-round draft picks Kiki Iriafen and Sonia Citron each scoring in double figures.

Thomas averaged 10.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 7.9 assists last season playing for the Connecticut Sun. In the backcourt, veterans Sami Whitcomb, Sevgi Uzun, and rookie Lexi Held will be asked to fill Copper’s scoring void.
