A return to the WNBA remains one of Sydney Colson’s biggest goals, but the veteran guard is making sure she enjoys the journey along the way. As she continues preparing for a possible return in 2027, Colson has another exciting date on her calendar, one that will see her trade the basketball court for the stage in New York City.

As shared on her Instagram Story and reshared by Kit Espina on X, Sydney Colson has announced a live New York City show for her podcast, Unsupervised. Specifically, Colson and her co-host, best friend and former WNBA teammate Theresa Plaisance, are hosting a live taping of their podcast on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 10 p.m. at the Hard Rock Hotel New York.

“What’s up, y’all? We are so excited for our show tomorrow night at 10 p.m. We cannot believe we’re a part of New York Comedy Fest, but we’re so thrilled about it, and we’re in partnership with Frank’s RedHot, so that’s exciting. Y’all come out, show some love. We’re gonna tell some spicy jokes. It’ll be fun. See y’all soon,” Colson said.

Sydney Colson and Theresa Plaisance launched their podcast, Unsupervised with Syd & TP, on July 24, 2025. At the time, Colson was still actively playing for the Indiana Fever. However, her season would come to an abrupt end just two weeks later, on August 7, 2025, when she suffered a torn ACL during a game against the Phoenix Mercury.

Since tearing her left anterior cruciate ligament, Sydney Colson has not played a single WNBA game. She had signed a one-year contract with Indiana for the 2025 season, making her an unrestricted free agent heading into 2026 while still in the middle of her rehabilitation. She then remained unsigned throughout the 2026 WNBA campaign, a situation she later revealed on her podcast was frustrating, particularly after feeling that the Fever had initially indicated they would re-sign her following her surgery.

However, being sidelined during her recovery also allowed Colson to dedicate more time to growing her podcast and taking on other media projects. And so, rather than pursuing playing opportunities elsewhere after remaining unsigned, she decided to focus on her knee recovery while taking on on-air analyst duties for Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball, broadcasting work, stand-up comedy, and, of course, growing her podcast.

Sydney Colson and her co-host Theresa Plaisance previously hosted a live show for their podcast in Cleveland on October 31, 2026. Now, the next stop is New York City, where the duo will bring their humour to the New York Comedy Festival. Hopefully, an official return to the basketball court in 2027 will be the next major milestone for the 37-year-old veteran.

“Full-Circle Moment”: Sydney Colson Reveals WNBA Comeback Plans and Houston Dream

As it appears, Sydney Colson isn’t ready to call time on her WNBA career just yet. She spent the 2026 season away from the league to focus on her recovery, and she is still working towards a return to the WNBA next year. For the 37-year-old veteran, it would be a dream come true if that return happened with the Houston Comets, the revived WNBA franchise set to make its debut in the 2027 season.

“I’m keeping my fingers crossed I could be back when the team comes to Houston next season,” Colson said.

For Colson, her connection with the Comets stretches back to the years when the franchise was still competing in the WNBA. Growing up in Houston, she watched the team establish itself as a dynasty. And even as a young fan, Colson dreamed of one day playing for the franchise herself.

“I mean, it is where I’m born and raised,” Colson said when asked about the possibility of playing in Houston. “It’s where I live in the offseason. I grew up watching the Comets. So I was there for the back-to-back-to-back-to-back championships. And so I didn’t think that I would be even remotely close to still playing, if and when the Comets franchise ever came back around. And so for me, it would just be a very full-circle moment.”

It is a childhood dream that Colson has never forgotten and never thought would be possible. Now, with the Comets preparing for their return to the league, that childhood wish could potentially become a reality.

“I still have this journal at my mom’s house. I think I was in third grade or something when I wrote about wanting to play in the WNBA for the Comets. So it’s very much going to be something very, very full circle if that’s able to happen. So I’m just trying to work towards that,” she said.

For now, Colson’s focus remains on her podcast as well as getting herself ready for a possible return to the WNBA. Hopefully, her childhood dream could turn into one of the most memorable chapters of her basketball career.
