As we look ahead to the WNBA season in 2025, there are high expectations following a successful 2024. Swish Appeal’s staff writers are sharing their WNBA wishes for the upcoming year:
Dominique Malonga becomes a Valkyrie
Few players in women’s basketball have the marketability of a center who can dunk off a spin move. Dominique Malonga, a 19-year-old post player from France, possesses exceptional talent, averaging 15 points per game and shooting 52.9 percent from 3. Her potential has caught the attention of WNBA scouts, positioning her as a top prospect in the upcoming draft.
Malonga’s unique skill set and performance on the court have raised speculation about her potential impact in the WNBA. With her exceptional abilities, she could bring a new level of talent to the Golden State Valkyries, the league’s newest franchise. The match between Malonga and the Valkyries seems destined for success.
Give me all the Toronto Tempo content!
The Toronto Tempo won’t make their WNBA debut until 2026, but anticipation is building for their arrival with the upcoming 2025 season. Fans can expect merchandise releases, announcements about the team’s management, coaching staff, uniforms, and facilities. Additionally, a second expansion draft is on the horizon, setting the stage for the Tempo’s entrance.
As excitement grows for Canada’s first WNBA team, fans eagerly await all the content surrounding the Toronto Tempo. From player introductions to team branding, the 2025 season will be a year of anticipation and preparation for the Tempo’s inaugural season.
The good vibes return to the Chicago Sky
The Chicago Sky has faced challenges in recent years, with key players leaving and coaching changes affecting the team’s performance. Despite these obstacles, the loyal fans continue to support the team, setting attendance records in 2024. As the Sky strives for success, there is hope that the good vibes will return in 2025.
While Chicago works to establish itself as a competitive force in the league, improvements in facilities and organizational structure are needed. The Sky’s journey back to the top will require dedication and strategic planning to attract top talent and build a winning team.
For fans of the Sky, the upcoming season brings hope for a resurgence in the team’s performance and a return to success in the WNBA.
