| Sparks-Mercury Preview (AP) |
| Before opening the 2008 season, the Phoenix Mercury will receive their championship rings and raise their title banner to the rafters of the US Airways Center.

| McWilliams-Franklin left out of LA's 2008 WNBA party (AP) |
| Taj McWilliams-Franklin put in the work with the WNBA Los Angeles Sparks. She won't, however, reap any of the Hollywood benefits of playing alongside Lisa Leslie and Candace Parker. The 37-year-old six-time All-Star led the depleted Sparks in scoring and rebounding last season. She was looking forward to playing with Leslie and Parker, who open the season Saturday against the reigning champion... -- read full article |

| Silver Stars-Monarchs Preview (AP) |
| San Antonio Silver Stars guard Becky Hammon and Sacramento Monarchs forward Rebekkah Brunson each had career years last season as they led their respective teams to the postseason.

| Sparks open as favorites to win third championship (AP) |
| Look out, WNBA. Lisa Leslie is back, and now she has Candace Parker with her. The two have helped Los Angeles garner most of the preseason buzz, and the Sparks are the overwhelming favorites to win their third WNBA championship as the league opens its 12th season this weekend. Leslie, a perennial All-Star and three-time Olympic gold medalist, has returned after a one-year absence following the... -- read full article |

| Sky-Storm Preview (AP) |
| If having the reigning WNBA most valuable player wasn't enough, the Seattle Storm revamped their roster by adding three of the league's biggest names. The new-look Storm hope to rebound from a disappointing 2007 when they host the Chicago Sky in Saturday night's season opener. Last season, Seattle finished fourth in the Western Conference with a 17-17 record and were swept by eventual WNBA... -- read full article |

| Monarchs head into new season without old leader (AP) |
| Yolanda Griffith was the face of the Monarchs franchise for nine seasons, winning an MVP award, a WNBA championship and making six All-Star teams as the leader for Sacramento.

| Storm prepared for season of lofty expectations (AP) |
| Four years ago, after bringing the WNBA championship trophy to Seattle, Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson appeared on the cusp of a lengthy run atop the league. They were talented, experienced and, most importantly, young enough to create a long-standing championship contender every year in Seattle. Three years, and three first-round playoff exits later, the Storm looks very little like that title team,... -- read full article |

| After surgery, Mystics' Beard hopes for Olympic nod (AP) |
| Alana Beard's locker looked like a miniature hospital ward after Washington Mystics games last season. Electrodes were attached to her left shoulder, connected to an imposing-looking stim machine that sat on the floor. "I don't know how I managed to get through an entire year," she said. She not only played, she excelled again, finishing fourth in the WNBA in points (18.8) and steals (1.94) per... -- read full article |
