For the first time in history, an eighth seed has taken down a number one seed in the WNBA playoffs. The New York Liberty took down the Minnesota Lynx in the best-of-three first round series. Some may say the WNBA should have a longer first round series, but Minnesota has no excuses to suffer such a defeat.

The NBA has been surrounded with expansion rumors for years now, and it may finally come true. Adam Silver said he hopes to get an expansion plan done by the end of 2026. The two cities that are heavily favored to have teams are Seattle and Las Vegas. The city of Seattle has been hungry for another team since the SuperSonics left back in 2008.
