WNBA

A'ja Wilson celebrated her new record for most points in a WNBA regular season ... by spending the day with NBA star Bam Adebayo!!

TMZ Sports obtained photos of the two basketball centers making their way downtown in Indianapolis on Thursday -- just hours after Wilson secured the single-season scoring title against the Indiana Fever.

The six-time WNBA All-Star and Miami Heat hooper were among a group of people on a stroll down Market Street ... and they appeared to be multitasking, as they had some grub in hand.

Greatness recognizes greatness ... and Tom Brady did just that on Thursday -- giving WNBA superstar A'ja Wilson a major shoutout after breaking the single-season scoring record.

Brady -- who is arguably the GOAT of the NFL -- gave the Las Vegas Aces center her flowers on X ... singing her praises for accomplishing the feat in just 35 games.

"There are so many incredible players in the WNBA right now," Brady said minutes ago. "But there’s only one A'ja Wilson!"

Taylor Swift wasn't the only megastar to throw her support behind Kamala Harris after Tuesday night's debate ... Caitlin Clark sure seemed to show she's got the VP's back in the race against Donald Trump as well.

Check out Swift's now-famous Instagram post -- Clark put a big ole heart on the love letter to Harris ... suggesting she, too, will be casting her vote for the Democratic Party's nominee in November.

The 22-year-old WNBA phenom hadn't previously indicated which way she'd go.

Angel Reese's rookie season is officially done ... 'cause a wrist injury suffered in her last game put her out of commission.

The Chicago Sky center took to social media Saturday to announce the news ... joking she couldn't imagine her last shot of the season would be a three-pointer -- before saying she's filled with emotion at the premature end to her year.

That said, AR says she's super grateful for whatever comes next ... adding this might be God's timing -- but, at least she can give herself a physical and mental break.

Charles Barkley believes Caitlin Clark is being grossly mistreated by her fellow WNBA players so far in her career ... and he's chalking it all up to "petty jealousness."

The Chuckster teed off on the current state of the W during an interview with Bill Simmons this week ... claiming despite all Clark has done for the organization, her peers are dropping the ball by being grade-A haters.

"These ladies, and I'm a WNBA fan, they cannot have f***ed this Caitlin Clark thing up any worse if they tried," the Hall of Famer said.

If you wanna watch Caitlin Clark take on Angel Reese in-person later Friday ... ya better have some deep pockets -- 'cause TMZ Sports has learned tickets prices for the big contest are SOARING.

A rep for Gametime -- an app that helps fans find last-minute tix -- tells us that as of Thursday afternoon, the average price to get into Wintrust Arena for the Indiana vs. Chicago tilt was $1,045!!!

To get a premium seat, the official says it could run you all the way up $2,013!!

WNBA star DiJonai Carrington just ripped into a social media user who trolled her with an insensitive George Floyd meme following her game Wednesday night -- calling the person's behavior "so sick."

Carrington was sent the edit on X just after her Sun team fell to the Fever in Indiana ... and it featured an image from when Floyd was being killed by former police officer Derek Chauvin.

In the post, you can see Caitlin Clark's face was edited over Chauvin's -- while Floyd's was replaced by Carrington's ... and the 26-year-old guard made it clear she was outraged by the visual.

Caitlin Clark had a pretty good night Wednesday -- she broke yet another WNBA record, logged a big victory ... and got to meet Simone Biles!!

It all happened at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indiana ... as Clark and the Fever were taking on the Connecticut Sun in a huge matchup.

Biles pulled up to watch the contest with Gabby Thomas -- and the two Olympic superstars were treated to quite the show from Clark.

Phoenix Mercury hooper Sophie Cunningham channeled her inner "Love Island" contestant prior to Monday night's game ... rocking a tiny dress and showing off her tan lines!!

The team's social media accounts highlighted the 28-year-old's wardrobe choice ... leaning into the fact she would fit right in on set of the popular dating show.

"this week a hot new bombshell enters the villa," the Mercury said on X alongside a slo-mo video of Cunningham's entrance.

Caitlin Clark fans had a collective panic attack last night ... after the Indiana Fever star went down with a scary ankle injury.

Thankfully, CC insists she's okay!

The scary moment happened during the first quarter of the Fever-Dream game at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Monday ... when the No. 1 draft pick rolled her left ankle playing defense.

The 6-foot rookie guard immediately crumbled to the ground, holding her ankle, clearly in serious pain.

Caitlin Clark was on the receiving end of a sick alley-oop from Erica Wheeler ... 'cause the WNBA star rookie just got an iced-out diamond chain from her teammate's jeweler -- and it's dope!!

A while ago, Wheeler -- who signed a multiyear deal with the Fever in 2023 -- shared a video on social media showing off a diamond-filled chain and pendant featuring her jersey number.

Clark -- who was right beside her -- said she wanted one, too. So, Wheeler made a call to her jeweler, the GLD Shop, to hook her friend up ... and they delivered!!

Angel Reese x Reese's is officially official!

The WNBA star and the popular candy co. have finally teamed up ... and are now bringing fans a limited-edition collection of jerseys, outerwear and more.

The collection is awesome, it features custom tees, hoodies, cropped shirts and hats that all feature peanut butter cups and Angel insignia.

Even babies fresh out the womb are fans of Caitlin Clark ... 'cause the WNBA star just got asked to autograph a two-week-old child -- and she delivered!!

The Indiana Fever guard met up with a mom and baby at the Fever Fore Change golf fundraiser involving players, coaches, staff and fans on Thursday ... and the rookie handed out quite the gift.

The mother said her little one was Clark's "biggest fan" ... and asked the 6-foot athlete if she wanted to hold the baby.

The U.S. women's basketball team serenaded star hooper A'ja Wilson ... who is celebrating her 28th trip around the sun in Paris!

The 2x WNBA champ is in France for the 2024 Olympics, and with it being Wilson's big day, the team gathered around her at practice to sing HBD -- the Stevie Wonder version!

A'ja dances a bit ... but ya gotta imagine Wilson and the rest of the women are exhausted.

The Paris Olympics are nice and all, but Angel Reese might be having an even better time during the WNBA's break ... hitting the stage with none other than Megan Thee Stallion at Lollapalooza!!

The "Savage" rapper was one of the biggest acts nabbed to perform at the major music festival in Chicago this weekend ... and Reese -- the Sky's 7th overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft -- had to rep her city by pullin' up for the occasion.

You can see the 6-foot-3 forward surprise Meg on stage at the end of one of her songs ... and the Houston rapper was hyped!!

Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark ain't the only WNBA rookies lookin' hot in swimsuits on their breaks from game action ... Kamilla Cardoso just showed off her killer bod while on vacay -- and she looks gooooood!!!

The Chicago Sky center popped into a tiny, pink bikini and hopped onto a boat to enjoy what's left of the WNBA's 2024 Paris Olympics pause ... and it ain't hard to see, she's enjoyin' the R&R.

In a series of photos she dumped on her Instagram page, the Brazilian hooper was all smiles as she cruised through the open waters ... making sure her followers got a great glimpse of her sparkly thong swimwear.
