It’s been a minute, but we’re back with another edition of the WNBA Trivia Challenge! There’s no time to waste, so let’s jump right into the questions. And as always, just a friendly reminder that Substack doesn’t have the functionality to display the correct answer after you respond (the checkmark simply denotes which option you chose), so you’ll have to scroll to the bottom to discover the correct answers. Good luck!
Question 1. Whom did Team USA select to replace Cameron Brink (out for the season with a torn ACL) on its 3x3 team for the upcoming Paris Olympics?
Question 2. Another day, another WNBA TV viewership mark falls. Drawing the most viewers for a WNBA game in 23 years, approximately how many people tuned into ESPN’s broadcast of Sunday afternoon’s game between Indiana and Chicago?
Question 3. Speaking of Chicago, Angel Reese has been on an absolute tear lately. The rookie sensation has recorded a WNBA rookie record eight consecutive double-doubles and is closing in on the overall WNBA record of 12 straight double-doubles. Who owns that record?
Question 4. Angel Reese’s start to this season is worthy of two questions this week, so here goes! She is averaging a mind-boggling 4.7 offensive rebounds per game, which leads the W by a country mile this season. In fact, who is the only player in WNBA history to finish a season with more offensive rebounds per game?
Question 5. If the season ended today, what team would have the best odds of winning the draft lottery and earning the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft?
Question 6. Minnesota defeated New York 94-89 on Tuesday night to capture the 2024 Commissioner’s Cup. Napheesa Collier, who finished with 21 points, six rebounds, and three steals, took home game MVP honors. However, which player led the Lynx in scoring with 23 points on a blistering 6-for-8 from beyond the arc?
Question 7. Who is the only player to be named MVP of both the Commissioner’s Cup final game and the WNBA Finals in the same season?
