The WNBA finds itself at a crossroads. The league's growth in recent times has been exponential, but the faltering CBA negotiations are a problem. However, the show must go on, and the 2026 WNBA Draft Lottery results were announced on Sunday.

(WXYZ) — The Detroit Pistons are exploring several team names, including the Detroit Shock, for the city's WNBA team.

From Cathy Engelbert and Adam Silver to WNBA owners, here's what the management side of CBA negotiations is focused on.

With the 2026 WNBA Draft order now finalized, five teams find themselves in position to add key pieces to their rosters. Unlike last year’s draft, which featured a clear-cut top prospect, this class offers a more diverse pool of talent that could address specific team needs.

Team president Vince Kozar said it's the right time to give the organization an update as it enters its 30th season in the league. The Mercury debuted in 1997 as one of the WNBA's original eight teams, winning titles in 2007, 2009 and 2014 with a core that was built around 11-time All-Star Diana Taurasi.

A year ago, Paige Bueckers was the undisputed No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft, the closest thing to a foregone conclusion since Caitlin Clark the year before. This year, there is no such player. There are three or four different competitors who could be that top pick, including Bueckers' former teammate at Connecticut, Azzi Fudd.
