The WNBA is coming off its memorable 25th anniversary season. Now, the league will get a different spotlight shone on it with this year’s historic SI Swimsuit issue.
The 2022 version will feature five star players from the WNBA, with the group featuring established stars and up-and-coming younger players alike. The quintet includes Storm guard Sue Bird, free agent guard Te’a Cooper, Sparks forward Nneka Ogwumike, Liberty guard DiDi Richards and Storm forward Breanna Stewart.

The selection of these five players is aimed at representing the league’s diversity and culture of acceptance, aspects that Bird cited when describing what it meant to participate in this year’s shoot.
