According to the Atlanta Dream, they have fired head coach Tanisha Wright after three seasons of working together.

This announcement comes after being swept in the first round of this year’s postseason against the New York Liberty.

General manager Dan Padover said in an official statement that they were grateful for her work in their rebuild.

“Tanisha was an important contributor in our efforts to rebuild the Dream, and we want to thank her for her hard work and dedication to the Dream over the last three seasons and wish her the best in the future,” general manager Dan Padover said in a statement. “At this time, we believe a change is needed to lead our players and organization to the next chapter in our efforts to be a top team in the WNBA.”

While having an overall record of 48-68, Wright led Atlanta to back-to-back postseason runs. This season, she had a double-digit win season, with 15-25.

She had three double-digit win seasons, which is phenomenal considering that Atlanta hasn’t seen those feats since 2018.

Since 2021, the Dream has had four head coaches. Nicki Collen (2017-2021), Mike Petersen (2021 – interim), Darius Taylor (2021 – interim), and Wright (2021-2024).

The WNBA has announced the winner of this year’s Most Improved Player, and it is no other than the Connecticut Sun’s DiJonai Carrington.

The 26-year-old had an incredible season that saw her dramatically improve from last season, which helped her team propel into the postseason.

In 2023, she averaged 8.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 0.6 steals per game. In 2024, she averaged 12.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.6 steals.

Her offensive and defensive game was statistically better, which is why the majority of the votes went her way to win this award.

Out of the 67 votes, Carrington secured 28 from a national media panel. Los Angeles Sparks Dearica Hamby came in second with 18, and Minnesota’s Bridget Carleton came in third with 15.

The Sun finished the season with a 28-12 record, and they are now in the first round of the postseason against Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever.

What a historic day for not only A’ja Wilson’s career but also for the WNBA. As we all know, Wilson has secured her third MVP of her Hall Of Fame career, but she created history that hasn’t been done since 1997.

Cynthia Cooper was the last women’s player to win Most Valuable Player unanimously; fast-forward to 2024, and fans witness Wilson receiving all 67 first-place votes for 670 points from the media panel.

The 28-year-old averaged 26.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.8 steals, and 2.6 blocks. She averaged a career-high 34.4 minutes per game and shot 51.8% from the field.

As mentioned before, this is Wilson’s third time winning MVP. Her first came in 2020, then in 2022, and now in 2024. She’s been playing for only seven seasons, so fans have witnessed 42% of her career being a reigning MVP.

Napheesa Collier (467 points) came in second place, Breanna Stewart (295 points) came in third place, and Caitlin Clark (130 points) came in fourth place.
