Shakira Austin leads Team USA's 3x3 squad to gold at AmeriCup, channeling her motivation from her dad not texting her back.

A well-deserved promotion for Isack Hadjar... ...but an absolutely moronic move to drop Yuki Tsunoda to a reserve driver.

*whispers* Allisha Gray, Naz Hillmon, Veronica Burton and Shakira Austin won GOLD at the FIBA 3x3AmeriCup. 🌚

Jahari Long recorded 8 assists last night in George Mason's win over Ohio. It is just the 10th time since Feb. 2022 that a Patriot has recorded 8+ assists in a game. #MasonRecords

The Mystics earn the No. 4 pick following the 2026 WNBA Draft Lottery. Washington also owns the 9th and 11th overall picks.

We all know Olivia Miles, Lauren Betts and Azzi Fudd are going to lead the 2026 WNBA draft class. Here's which other college stars are going to be in the mix this season.

There's a new No. 1 on my NBA Draft big board as I finally put Darryn Peterson ahead of A.J. Dybantsa. Peterson's an elite shotmaker and that outweighs Dybantsa's athleticism. The top three (+ Boozer) are in a league of their own, then I have another trio in their own tier and then everyone else.

Shakira Austin will suit up for Team USA once again, this time at the 2025 3x3 AmeriCup. It will be her first appearance with the Team USA 3x3 team. She is joined by Veronica Burton, Allisha Gray and Naz Hillmon. Play tips off on Nov. 28.

George Mason's Nick Ellington racked up 7 blocks against Jacksonville last night. Only two other Patriots (Byron Tucker, 1990; A.J. Wilson, 2017) have recorded more blocks in a game. #MasonRecords

Jade Melbourne and Lucy Olsen are averaging double-digit scoring while playing in the WNBL, and Madi Scott is leading her Italian league squad just five games into the season.

The college season is underway and it's time to start looking ahead to the 2026 WNBA Draft. Who else to talk to but @emilyadler.bsky.social from @theixbasketball.bsky.social who breaks down each of the top prospects' games and what to expect from them this season.

I love this lede from NYT's Victor Mather on the death of the penny

I guess neither Louisville nor Kentucky want to actually win this game.

The WNBA announced the 2026 Draft Lottery odds for the lottery that will take place on Nov. 23. Washington will have a 9.7% chance of receiving the No. 1 overall pick.

Eagles offense looked the best it has all year in kelly green Bo Nix played his best game of the year in the beautiful Broncos throwbacks Bill's onto something here

The crazy part of me is rooting for this to become known as the Daylight Savings Time game...

Man, watching the World Series with this app as a second screen is really giving some OG Twitter vibes. Nothing quite like raw shared community experience.

Elena Delle Donne, Candace Parker, Isabelle Fijalkowski, Amaya Valdemoro, Barbara Kennedy-Dixon, Cheryl Reeve (coach), Kim Muhl (coach) and ESPN announcer Doris Burke will enter the women's basketball Hall of Fame this upcoming June.

Georgia Amoore's first WNBA season ended two days into training camp. She spent her entire 2025 campaign preparing for how she can attack 2026.

Overheard while walking around DC today: "Pigeons are just flying rats."

There's a lot of dark and gloomy news out there, so here's something to cheer you up. Kiki Iriafen - and the Mystics - want KikI Iriafen to "shoot the three at a high clip" when she comes back next season.

NEWS: Robin Roberts, Olivia Walton & Amy Griffin are the three latest investors in the Liberty, completing the round of investment announced in May, valuing the team at $450 million. The investment from this group will support the construction of the practice facility.

RT @NBAonNBC: ABSOLUTE CHILLS. Cue up Roundball Rock … the NBA is BACK on NBC and Peacock. 🏀🤩

Stopped by a George Mason WBB practice today. A few new additions to the regular decor.

Playing for Allianz Geas Sesto San Giovanni, Mystic Madison Scott is flourishing in Serie A1. Through two games in the Italian League, she's leading the team with 22.0 ppg (54.5% FG). That includes a 28-point outing against Roseto earlier this week.

TIL Andrew Garfield was older than Tobey Maguire when they each filmed their first Spiderman movies. And boy, does that have my mind thinking all sorts of things...

Sonia Citron's list of accomplishments in 2025 would rival a bucket list for most of her WNBA contemporaries. Already, she's focused on growing her game further for next season.

If the WNBA is a stepping stone for aspiring NBA officials, we have a problem. The WNBA wants to bill itself as the best women's basketball league in the world. It should also want the best officials in the world. Then again, WNBA officials are not full-time employees like the NBA...

A new 2026 NBA Draft big board with the season tipping off in less than a month. A couple of new adjustments with players now on campus and practices fully underway. A.J. Dybantsa (BYU) is still my No. 1 prospect and Jayden Quaintance (Kentucky) passes Boogie Fland (Florida) as my top returner.

"They might not need a plane to get back to the Strip tonight!" what does that mean, Ryan?

Jacy Sheldon played less than 32 minutes in a Mystics jersey this season. Was that enough time for Sheldon to prove she can be a part of what Jamila Wideman is building in D.C.?

Fans, players and media always want to know how soon their team can compete for a title. The 2025 Mystics look to take the next step while general manager Jamila Wideman takes a measured approach.

Cam Schlittler

Never heard of this Cam Schlittler kid before, but holy cow what a night.

A'ja had to go for the dang steal because Chelsea and Jackie weren't passing her the ball in final two minutes.

If anyone in the women's basketball world has unpleasant news to announce and avoid bad press, now is the time to drop it. Do it. Hit send. Seriously, right now.

Elena Delle Donne weighs in with back-up for Phee’s statement 💀

I present a thread of my favorite Shakira Austin gifs from the 2025 Mystics season

Mystics' Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen named to WNBA All-Rookie Team. Joining them are Paige Bueckers, Domique Malonga and Janelle Salaun.

Nai is frying me with that Gatorade hand towel 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #WNBA

In an unexpected move, Sug Sutton becomes one of the 48 players joining Unrivaled this season. Huge opportunity for the Mystics starting PG from this past season.

Shakira Austin enters the WNBA offseason as a restricted free agent. GM Jamila Wideman has already labeled her "part of that young core" they're building around. And if signed, it begins to narrow the direction of the franchise.

Shakira Austin returns to Unrivaled for Year 2

Big Brother spoilers ahead... Morgan is undeniable. It's over at this point. She's running this season and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Separating her game legacy from actions inside the house will be the biggest challenge. Like, subscribe, all that jazz to the Pausecast.
