WNBA on VICELAND: guide

The Women’s National Basketball Association (US) returns to SBS VICELAND and SBS On Demand this Sunday

Due to COVID-19, the WNBA season has been reduced to 22 games per team with no fans allowed inside Florida’s IMG Academy.

While superstar Australian players Liz Cambage and Rebecca Allen have decided to sit out the season, four other Australian players are expected to take the court:
• Leilani Mitchell re-joins the reigning WNBA champions – The Washington Mystics – after a successful two-years with the Phoenix Mercury. In 2019, she won the league’s Most Improved Player award for the second time.
• Sami Whitcomb and Eziyoda Magbegor are both on the roster for Seattle Storm. 20-year-old Eziyoda Magbegor joins the WNBA for the first time; in February 2020, she was named the Betty Watson Australian Youth Player of the Year at the Women’s National Basketball League Awards.
• Alanna Smith returns to Phoenix Mercury for the second year. She missed the final 14 games in 2019 after suffering an ankle injury and undergoing surgery.
