WNBA

WNBA star Angel Reese is flipping the script ... and will soon be flexing on Netflix.

The Bayou Barbie has officially joined the cast of "The Hunting Wives" in the co-starring role of "Trainer Barbie," Netflix serendipitously announced on Tuesday.

Reese previously let it be known she was a fan of the breakout hit after watching Season 1, publicly calling the cliffhanger finale "unsatisfying" and demanding to know if there’d be a Season 2.

Well, guess what, Angel? Netflix heard you!!!

If you ever dreamed of living like a baller, here's your shot ... WNBA great Angel McCoughtry just listed her stunning Georgia home for $1.2 million!!!

TMZ Sports has learned the 5,000-square-foot estate, built in 2004, is located in Smyrna, GA ... which is only 17 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta.

The Craftsman crib is packed with classic Southern charm, featuring high ceilings, rich texture, an expansive open layout, a fireplace and a screened-in porch.

Kysre Gondrezick's return to the basketball court has hit a major snag -- the former WNBA guard tore her Achilles during training for her Athletes Unlimited season.

TMZ Sports has learned ... Gondrezick suffered the season-ending injury on Sunday during her workout at the University of Miami. We obtained some footage of her practice, which showed her draining jumpers before the injury.

We're told Kysre -- who recently posed nude for Playboy -- will need surgery to mend the ailment ... and a procedure is slated for later this week.

WNBA star Skylar Diggins is reflecting on a drama-filled year ... opening up about raising her kids all on her own for more than a year amid her divorce from Daniel Smith.

The Seattle Storm guard vented on her Instagram on Sunday ... reflecting on the challenges she's faced in 2025 -- and expressing pride in how she was able to handle them mostly on her own.

"Been doing everything BY MYSLF (sic) for over a year now," Diggins said. "Just me and my babies (and the help of my mom/dad.) THAT'S IT!"

Another day, another pro athlete falling victim to a burglary ... and this time it’s WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu, whose L.A. home was hit Monday night, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

The LAPD tells us they responded to Ionescu’s home in the Los Angeles area around 8 PM for a burglary investigation, after two suspects used an unknown tool to smash the glass of the rear door of the property, according to investigators.

The thieves then made entry, “ransacked the location and took the victim’s property.” They ultimately fled in a vehicle in an unknown direction.

Lonzo Ball and Michael Porter Jr. believe they would have been forces to be reckoned with in the WNBA as teenagers ... with both NBA stars claiming they'd dominate against pro women's players before they were old enough to drive cars.

MPJ stopped by Lonzo's "Ball in the Family" podcast recently ... and at one point in their chat, the current Brooklyn Nets player brought up how A'ja Wilson said she could beat Knicks guard Josh Hart one-on-one.

The convo then transitioned into how Patrick Beverly said a WNBA team could beat an NBA team's bench players ... which Lonzo wasn't buying.

Miguel A. Nunez Jr. is sharing an update on a potential "Juwanna Mann 2" ... telling TMZ Sports he's hoping to land two of the biggest current WNBA superstars for the project -- Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark.

Of course, the actor revealed to us a few years ago a follow-up to the 2002 comedy was in the works ... and while it hasn't hit the big screen just yet, he's still confident it IS happening -- folks just gotta be a bit more patient.

We asked if that kinda storyline would work in 2025 -- a male basketball star disguising himself as a woman to play in their league -- Nunez Jr. actually thinks now is the perfect time.

Kysre Gondrezick's had a wild time on and off the court ... and we're here for it all!

The professional basketball player's played for several different teams throughout her athletic career ... and she's since branched out into modeling.

We're going to take a look and see how the athlete made a name for herself -- and how she ended up being named as Miss June 2025 by a long-running publication.

Kysre's not the only one in her family with athletic experience, because her father, Grant, played in the NBA for several years, and her mother, Lisa, played guard at Louisiana Tech.

Plus, the athlete's sister played for the Michigan State Spartans women's basketball team, and her uncle Glen also spent several seasons in the NBA.

Kysre followed in her mother's footsteps and played college ball, as she spent a single season with the Michigan Wolverines.

The athlete eventually transferred to the University of West Virginia, and she played with the Mountaineers for three seasons.

Kysre began her career in the WNBA in 2021, when she was picked by the Indiana Fever after putting on a stellar performance in the NCAA Women's Tournament, according to CBS Sports.

The thing is, the athlete only spent a single season with the Fever before she was waived by the team.

She remained unsigned until May 2024, when it was announced she'd made the Chicago Sky's Opening Day roster.

Kysre ended up being waived by the Sky later in the year, and she joined the AU Pro Basketball league in 2025.

Kysre's love life's been connected to the court, as she was formerly in a relationship with Kevin Porter Jr., who currently plays for the Milwaukee Bucks.

However, the pair's relationship became the subject of controversy in 2023, when the athlete's former boyfriend allegedly assaulted her at a hotel in Manhattan.

Although Kysre told the New York Post her former boyfriend hadn't hit her, Porter later pled guilty to misdemeanor assault and a harassment violation in relation to the alleged incident, according to ESPN.

She was later linked to NBA star Jaylen Brown, and the pair attended the 2024 ESPYs together.

Kysre's maintained an active life off the court, as the athlete was named as Playboy's Miss June 2025 in October 2025.

The publication made the big news known by sharing a post on Instagram. It's worth noting she's become the first current professional basketball player to have ever been named as a Playmate.

Kysre issued a brief statement at the time and claimed the move into modeling was a natural "evolution," not a "transition."

Kysre Gondrezick is trading her jersey for ... well, not much -- the former WNBA player was just named Playboy's Miss June.

The famed publication has been rolling out its roster of beautiful ladies for this year over the past few days ... and on Monday, the 2021 fourth-overall pick was revealed as the selection for the sixth month of 2025.

The Bunny says Kysre -- who was recently linked to NBA superstar Jaylen Brown -- is the first current pro basketball player to earn the "Playmate" title. In the announcement, the outlet shared a pic of the hooper floating on an orange pool toy while topless.

With all eyes on Miss Indiana's viral Caitlin Clark-inspired outfit, she's hoping to use the spotlight to send the Fever star a message -- come judge the Miss USA beauty pageant!!

TMZ Sports spoke with Sydney Shrewsbury after she walked the stage in a custom two-piece ensemble to represent Indiana at the Miss USA's costume competition earlier in the week.

Shrewsbury's WNBA-themed outfit instantly went viral ... and while Clark hasn't reached out to her yet, she's hoping this invitation catches her attention soon.

Months after Red Panda broke her wrist during a fall in the WNBA Commissioner's Cup championship ... the iconic halftime performer made her much-anticipated return on Thursday -- and it's safe to say she is SO back.

The legend popped up at the Amazon Studios after the L.A. Chargers beat the Minnesota Vikings on "Thursday Night Football" ... and proved she hasn't missed a step in recovery.

If there were any nerves for the performance, she wasn't showing them. The crew went wild when the performer -- real name Rong "Krystal" Niu -- nailed her signature bowl flip while riding a unicycle.

WNBA star Sophie Cunningham wants to follow Angel Reese's lead and be the next Victoria's Secret model ... saying it's been a dream of hers ever since she was a kid -- but she might need some extra support to make it happen.

The Indiana Fever guard spoke about the event on her "Show Me Something" podcast this week with West Wilson, revealing she's always idolized the annual shindig and the stars that have been involved.

That desire to be a part of it was re-ignited after Angel Reese's VS runway debut last week -- but Cunningham claimed if she were to join her next year, she'd need some help in the boobs department.

Caitlin Clark's impact has made it to the Miss USA 2025 beauty pageant -- thanks to Miss Indiana's costume tribute to the Fever superstar!!

The fashion statement went down at the competition's preliminaries at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada on Monday ... where Sydney Shrewsbury and the rest of the contestants took part in the state costume show.

While some elected for animals and weather-themed looks, Shrewsbury showcased her sporty spirit by wearing a custom crop top and shorts in Indiana Fever colors and featuring Clark's No. 22.

The WNBA Collective Bargaining Agreement is set to expire in a matter of days ... and Las Vegas Aces guard Jackie Young tells TMZ Sports that while there are plenty of issues still left to hammer out -- the biggest comes down to the almighty dollar.

We spoke with Young this week just after the Aces won their third championship in the last four seasons ... and we asked what the mindset is as the players and the league work toward a new CBA.

Young said the "biggest thing" for her and other players is simple -- "we get what we deserve."

Suni Lee is taking her gold medal talents and looks to the runway -- the Team USA gymnastics star is being tapped to walk in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show!!

The 22-year-old and the V.S. PINK brand shared the news just hours before the Wednesday night event ... with fans in the comment section unable to contain their excitement.

Lee herself is just as pumped ... writing on her Instagram Story that it is "a dream come true."

Angel Reese is trading in basketballs for angel wings -- at least for a bit -- she just revealed she's been named a Victoria's Secret runway model!

The WNBA superstar announced on Thursday she will walk in next week's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show ... and she informed her fans of the big news with a steamy video.

The clip -- which dropped on her and Victoria's Secret's Instagram pages -- showed her flashing her toned bod in a black bra and panties along with some wings ... and it had social media buzzing.
