Games to look out for
Seattle Storm forward Breanna Stewart’s first game back after rupturing her Achilles tendon will be at home against the Dallas Wings on 5/15.
If all goes to plan, look for Sabrina Ionescu to make her WNBA debut for the New York Liberty on 5/16 at the Connecticut Sun.
The Liberty will play their first game at the Barclays Center on 5/17 against the LA Sparks.
The Washington Mystics and Connecticut Sun will face off against each other for the first time since the 2019 Finals on 6/28.
The Mystics will play the Las Vegas Aces on 8/21, an exciting matchup following the 2019 semifinals when Washington won the series, 3-1.
A new and exciting feature of the 2020 regular season is the introduction of the Commissioner’s Cup, an in-season tournament that will run through July 10. Starting in 2021, the prize money for in-season tournaments will be a minimum of $750,000. Each team will play 10 Cup games this season.
The full 2020 WNBA schedule is set to be revealed on Thursday’s episode of The Jump at 3pm ET.
