10 moves that shaped the WNBA offseason -- and what they mean for 2025
Briefly

The upcoming 2025 WNBA season is marked by substantial changes, including the introduction of the Golden State Valkyries as an expansion team and seven new head coaches across the league. Notably, three former No. 1 overall picks, each with championship histories, have switched teams, while icons like Diana Taurasi have retired. The reigning champions, New York Liberty, and Minnesota Lynx maintained stability, which could impact their title defense. This offseason's developments will significantly influence which teams emerge as playoff contenders as the season unfolds.
Seven teams have new head coaches, and three former champions are now with new franchises as the league undergoes significant changes leading into the 2025 season.
Diana Taurasi's retirement leaves two of the league's oldest active players, DeWanna Bonner and Alysha Clark, adding to the offseason's dynamic shift.
