WNBA star — Bird (3)
I believe the answer is:
sue
'wnba star bird' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for sue that I've seen before include "Proceed legally against (someone)" , "Charge" , "Humbly request" , "Bring charges against - girl" , "Prosecute; girl's name" .)
