    The WNBA season tips off Friday with substantial momentum from last year, but a CBA negotiation looms that could shape women’s sports going forward. FOS reporter Annie Costabile explains where negotiations stand ahead of this pivotal year that could see Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever win a championship.

    Plus, high school basketball star Noah Neumann joins the show to explain his viral decision to play in China instead of the NCAA, and breaks some big news about his overseas career. There’s also a secret SuperSonics museum in Seattle, and Knicks ticket prices are jaw-dropping once again.
