The WNBA is gearing up for its 2025 draft, scheduled for April 14, where Sarah Ashlee Barker, a guard from the University of Alabama, will have the chance to make history. Her invitation to attend the draft in person marks a pivotal moment, as she aims to become the first Alabama player selected since Brittany Davis in 2023.

Projected to be the top pick is Paige Bueckers, likely headed to the Dallas Wings, showcasing the intense competition and talent entering the league. The draft is not just about new talent; it also coincides with significant honors for the league, as legends Sue Bird, Maya Moore, and Sylvia Fowles will be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2025.

Additionally, the WNBA has expanded its partnership with Mielle to launch a new HBCU initiative, emphasizing the league`s commitment to inclusivity and support for historically black colleges and universities. The reigning WNBA Champion New York Liberty is also making headlines by re-signing key players, including Breanna Stewart and Marine Johannès, as they prepare for the upcoming season.
