Angel Reese announces a signature shoe with Reebok
Diamond Dust. Just a kid from Baltimore, turning dreams into reality and hoping I can inspire young women and men everywhere to do the same. The most brilliant diamonds take pressure, polish, and time. Reebok is back—and the diamonds are shining brighter than ever. @Reebok
Allow us to reintroduce ourselves…we are The IX Basketball. As part of @TheIXNewsletter rebrand, The IX Basketball is built to deliver breaking news, exclusive stories, and constant coverage from the world of women’s basketball.
The Chicago Sky signed free agent guard Marquesha Davis to a seven-day hardship contract according to a press release.
It's not yet clear if KUHB would be covered by the carveout for tribal radio apparently promised by the White House. The station is one of the most vulnerable to loss of federal funds in the country. thehill.com/homenews/house…
Devastating blow to local news coverage — especially in rural areas!
I talked to Walt Gregg, who runs KUHB in St Paul, Alaska, on an island in the Bering Sea. KUHB gets 97 percent of its funding from the federal government. Walt estimates KUHB would be gone by next summer without CPB funds. “Without them, that community doesn’t have anything.”
Not a great look
What is the WNBA’s worst-run organization? According to the players: Chicago. “They’re still practicing in a rec center. That’s not … ideal.”
Angel Reese now has the longest active double-double streak in the WNBA 👑
Angel Reese is the only player in @wnba history to average 17 rebounds per game over a 6-game span. And she’s done it four times. (This is the 29th season of the league. Her rebounding numbers continue to be extraordinary.) Research & graphic: @juliana_sherry
So it seems Angel Reese was hit in the face, lost a contact lens mid-play, no foul call, made a basket, was fouled, popped it back in, and shot free throws. A lot happening there.
The Chicago Sky have officially retired their first jersey: Allie Quigley.
Azzi Fudd in the house tonight for Dallas' game vs. the Chicago Sky at Wintrust arena
