Double Drivel: Waiver Moves, USA Roster Debate, Fever-Sky Drama, and Wings’ Slide

Sylvia and Madeleine cover WNBA news and recent games: Betnijah Laney-Hamilton is waived by the Liberty, claimed by the Mystics (who waive and later re-sign Rori Harmon to a developmental spot), and the Liberty convert Marine Fauthoux to a regular roster spot; the Fever sign Mercedes Russell on a hardship deal after Damiris Dantas’ knee surgery. They discuss the announced 2026 USA Women’s National Team roster and notable omissions. Indiana goes 1–1, losing to the Aces in OT on Chelsea Gray’s record buzzer-beaters after late missed free throws, then beating the Sky amid a Flagrant 2 ejection of Dijonai Carrington and a rescinded Caitlin Clark technical. Dallas goes 0–3, prompting Madeleine’s “No Way José” critique of coach José Fernandez. Standings, remaining strength of schedule, and records (Kayla McBride’s 10 threes, Kelsey Mitchell’s 16 straight 20-point games, Mitchell/Clark duo points) are reviewed, followed by upcoming picks and a Swish List.
