    Megan and Sue are in an #LDR this week—Megan’s in LA, Sue’s back in NYC, and the takes are as hot as ever. They’re diving straight into the biggest WNBA news of the week: the expansion draft.

Sue breaks down the latest rankings and what she predicts is coming next this season. In The Intersection, they discuss Caitlin Clark making the highest-paid female athletes list, the Sabrina 2’s, and other standout player editions.
