WNBA Finals Preview: Valkyries In Finals In Franchise's 2nd Season

Terrika Foster-Brasby joins CBS Sports HQ to preview the WNBA finals between the Dream and the Valkyries.

Indiana Fever general manager Amber Cox said the controversies surrounding Sophie Cunningham will not factor into the team’s evaluation of the guard as free agency approaches.

Controversy has embroiled the Atlanta Dream's thrilling 101-98 overtime victory over the New York Liberty in Game 2 of their semifinal series after Breanna Stewart accused the officials of incorrectly telling the Liberty that they had no timeouts remaining on the final play of overtime. Crew chief Fatou Cissoko-Stephens denied Stewart's version of events in the pool report, stating that there was "no direct communication" between the officials and the Liberty.

Adam, Dave and Jamey reveal their must-start players, biggest stars to avoid, and the toughest fantasy football decisions for Week 5.

Once again, the setup remains to be very complex, so it is no surprise that the track remains difficult to pin down with now almost two areas of shift possible. A cutoff low, an upper level trough, and what remains of Rachel all have to interact, with their timing and positioning playing a major role in how this unfolds. Even small changes could shift where the deepest moisture moves, where the lifting mechanism is, where thunderstorms develop, and which areas receive the heaviest rainfall. That is why individual model runs can show noticeably different outcomes. Confidence should improve as these features evolve, but the exact track and rainfall totals still have room to change still.

Learn about an apple variety that is super crisp and firm that I am getting at apple orchards over Honeycrisp this month. It took a long time from when the Crimson Crisp apple was first bred until it was available to be grown commercially. It was first developed in the 1970s by the PRI (Purdue, Rutgers, and Illnois) co-operative. It wasn't until 2006 that the apple was released for growers. That is a long time in the development process. You don't get rich quick by developing a new apple variety!

In her exit interviews, WNBA star Caitlin Clark opened up about her future with the Indiana Fever, stating there were big decisions that had to be made. Clark made clear she plans to remain with the Fever, even as she weighs an early contract extension that could reshape the team’s roster flexibility.
