Host Jon Coiro breaks down Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals, Day 1 of the World Cup, the New York Mets avoiding a sweep at home, a coaching extension within the NFL, and the New York Liberty continuing to stay hot within the WNBA!

With Jonquel Jones and Sabrina Ionescu sidelined, Han Xu stepped into the starting lineup — and the New York Liberty picked up their fifth win of the season, 89-80 over the Connecticut Sun. But the final score doesn't tell the whole story.Erica and Brian break down what the Liberty's reserve depth actually looks like when the starters sit, what Han Xu's performance in an expanded role means for this roster, and why the turnover problem isn't going away on its own.The bigger question: are these minutes a gift — a chance for the second unit to build real chemistry and confidence heading into the stretch run? Or should Liberty fans be uneasy about how close games have been against lower-seeded opponents?Subscribe for weekly New York Liberty coverage from Gotta Get Up! — the only dedicated Liberty podcast and YouTube show.

The defending champions are off to a rocky start — and we're getting into all of it. Journalist & w omen's  sports pioneer Ari Chambers joins Gotta Get Up! to break down what's really happening with the New York Liberty in 2026.We're taking a calm, clear-eyed look at the Liberty's 3-4 start — from player performance and roster construction to life under new head coach Chris DeMarco. Are Liberty fans right to be worried, or is this a classic early-season overreaction? Ari helps us separate the noise from the real concerns.And we can't let Ari leave without talking New York basketball at large — because the Knicks just swept the Cavaliers to reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. We're getting her take on what it means for the city.Plus — you might not know this, but Ari's connection to the Liberty runs deep. Before she was covering women's sports on ESPN, she was a member of the Liberty's Torch Patrol. We're going there.In this episode:

We have a fun episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way! First, Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones continue with their Conference Finals analysis! The New York Knicks have punched their ticket to the NBA Finals for the first time in nearly 30 years! The guys discuss how they sealed the deal and close the chapter on the Cavs' season. From there, the guys shift to the West to break down the currently-tied series between the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs. They discuss the biggest storylines, adjustments from Game 3 to Game 4, and the potential counterpunches the Thunder may throw in Game 5 and beyond. Finally, the guys shift to the WNBA to bounce around! They check in on the New York Liberty in the midst of a shaky start. They then salute the interesting starts of the Portland Fire and Seattle Storm as they both look to establish their principles and empower their young players.

A rocky start turned into a dominant win Sunday afternoon when the underdog Dallas Wings defeated the New York Liberty on the road by a score of 91 - 76. Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers led the Wings with 24 points while Jess Shepard and Awak Kuier slowed down NY's bigs. We are diving into an incredible rookie breakout performance from Azzi Fudd, Paige Bueckers' off-ball impact, and the unsung hero minutes from Jess Shepard that saved the defense.

The WNBA tips off its 30th season on Friday, but across those three decades, it has never experienced anything like the Golden State Valkyries, on the court or off it. Last year, the Valkyries became the first expansion franchise in league history to reach the playoffs in its inaugural season and sold out all 22 of their home games to set a league record with average attendance of 18,064. By the end of the regular season, Golden State had generated $78 million in revenue, not only breaking another WNBA record but also surpassing more than half of the clubsin a more mature men's league, MLS. As the team enters its second season, the Valkyries have raised prices yet managed to expand their season-ticket base by 2,000 seats, to 12,000, proving that there is still room to run—and helping them race to the top of the WNBA's most valuable teams, worth an estimated $780 million. The Valkyries are not the only ones on a financial fast break, however. The 2025 WNBA season also saw the three next-best revenue totals in league history—the Indiana Fever's $58 million, the New York Liberty's $43 million and the Las Vegas Aces' $34 million, according to Forbes estimates—and no team is now worth less than $250 million.

The WNBA officially kicks off this weekend, with its first regular-season game between the New York Liberty and the Connecticut Sun. And the Sun will be appearing on the court with a brand new weapon: Brittney Griner, a 10-time WNBA all-star and three-time Olympic gold medalist.You might consider it a miracle that we get to watch Griner play at all. That's because, in 2022, she found herself behind bars in a Russian prison. She wasn't sure when, or if, she would make it home to her family — or to basketball — again. In this episode, Brittney Griner tells her story: from joining the WNBA as a first-round draft pick, to being locked away in a Russian penal colony, to finally coming home.Show Notes Coming Home by Brittney Griner and Michelle Burford Why Brittney Griner was in Russia and what it has to do with U.S. women's basketball | NPR Photos: Brittney Griner freed from Russian penal colony in high-level prisoner swap | LA Times Basketball's Gender Pay Gap is Worse Than You Think | Vice Show CreditsHost: David GreeneExecutive Producers: Joan Isabella, Tom GrahslerSenior Producer: Michael OlcottProducer: Michaela WinbergAssociate Producer: Bibiana CorreaTalent Booker: Britt KahnEngineer: Mike VillersTile Art: Bea WallingTheme Song: Emma MungerSports in America is a production of WHYY, distributed by PRX, and part of the NPR podcast network.

The guys debate the massive drop for Arike Ogunbowale, why Paige Bueckers made one of the biggest leaps on the list, and why the top tier still belongs to A'ja Wilson, Napheesa Collier, and Breanna Stewart. Later, the conversation shifts to the teams as Kev breaks down his WNBA tiers and explains why he's extremely high on the Los Angeles Sparks this season. Rashad dives into why he loves the moves made by the Dallas Wings and how their future could arrive faster than people think. The guys also discuss why the New York Liberty should be the favorites to win it all, which teams are being overlooked, and where the biggest disagreements landed across the rankings.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/preach-kev-preach-w-rashad--2977392/support.

Kara sits down with New York Liberty owner Clara Wu Tsai to talk about betting big on the WNBA and why the momentum for women's sports isn't slowing down.  Clara explains why she saw the Liberty as a distressed asset worth rebuilding and how investments in players, facilities and visibility helped fuel a turnaround. She breaks down what's driving the WNBA's growth, from the Caitlin Clark effect to media deals, and why, despite surging popularity, the league is still undervalued.  They also get into league expansion, the new collective bargaining agreement and the economics behind it all. Plus: Clara's Human Performance Alliance and her push to close the data gap in women's sports science.
