News Summary:

Absen LED technology is being installed for a 9,266 sqft transparent display at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, home to the Phoenix Suns and Mercury, which the teams state will be the largest of its kind at an NBA/WNBA arena. The display is scheduled for completion this autumn. Previously, on September 16, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver indicated that the WNBA’s next leader needs to foster greater trust within the locker room, a facet he noted current Commissioner Cathy Engelbert struggled with during her tenure. This followed the WNBA's announcement on September 15 of a multi-year partnership with PrizePicks, naming the company an Official Daily Fantasy Partner of the league. This agreement represents PrizePicks' initial deal with a major professional women's sports league. Earlier, on September 9, a review of Cathy Engelbert's tenure highlighted her leadership from 2019, noting she guided the WNBA through a period of uncertainty into significant growth ahead of her planned retirement in December.
