👋 Hey, Hoophead!
And just like that, the semis are all tied up. With both series shifting to the homes of the lower seeds, the Phoenix Mercury and Indiana Fever return with a golden chance to close things out in front of their own fans. However, that’s easier said than done. The action unfolded against the backdrop of a bombshell from New York: Sandy Brondello’s contract with the Liberty won’t be renewed for next season.
Oh, and amid all the on-court and off-court turbulence, one fiery celebration from Satou Sabally sparked a whole different kind of debate.

Who Deserves More Blame for the Liberty’s 1st Round Exit? |

Sandy Brondello isn’t just a WNBA legend, she’s also an Australian icon! She represented the Opals, Australia’s women’s basketball team, 302 times as a player, the 3rd most in team history. Out of the six Olympic medals the Opals have won, four came with Sandy: two silvers and one bronze as a player, and another bronze as a coach, solidifying her place as a cornerstone of Australia’s basketball legacy.
