This week on Girls Who Like Hoops, I’m breaking down the WNBA preseason from top to bottom. I go team by team to talk about roster surprises, big injuries, who got waived (and why fans are mad about it), and what these early moves say about what teams are planning. I’m also giving my post-preseason seeding list, sharing what I expect from each squad going into opening week, and getting into the tanking conversation—because yes, it’s already time to talk about that. Whether you watched every game or none at all, I’ve got you covered.
