There is a player on the LA Queens, Brittany Apgar, who has a limb difference and traveled back to Illinois from receiving her first ever batting prosthetic *today* and is 3-for-3 in her first game playing with one. Incredibly cool.

Just a note that there's only a week between the end of the World Cup break and the end of the WNBA season. The difference between a two-week vacation and a tournament might have an outsized impact on the postseason.
Richard Cohen@richardcohen.bsky.social · 15h agoWild stab at the Team USA squad for the FIBA women's basketball World Cup they're apparently announcing tomorrow. Could be heavily affected by people making themselves unavailable for rest. #FIBAWWC #WNBA CGray/CClark/Miles Bueckers/JYoung Copper/RHoward Stewart/Hamby Wilson/Boston/Brink
The fourth multi-triple-double night in WNBA history. All four have been Alyssa Thomas + X. #WNBA
KP talked with (not at) the officials more than anyone during her time in Vegas, and I'm assuming in L.A. as well. Was always talking to them during timeouts. Can't imagine it's hurt the way they she gets officiated.
“We want (player)” chants were cringe and embarrassing when it was Han three seasons ago and it’s cringe and embarrassing for BLH now
Terrific performances all around tonight. Betting they were irked over the Chicago loss. Just stay pissed off for the playoffs and I'll be happy.
Imagining how Bill would look at the horny elephant routine.

This is my ninth year following the league, but it's still weird to realize I've been watching every game of a player doing this sort of thing.
Las Vegas Aces@lvaces.bsky.social · 2d agoOf course the league leader in points per game slides into No. 12 on the WNBA's all-time scoring list! 🪣👏
The iron is hot for a "Send In The Marines" Liberty t-shirt.
Jackie Powell@classicjpow.bsky.social · 2d agoBoth Marines are on the floor. Johannès made a huge shot in transition and the Liberty made a bunch of straight shots in transition. You can't get those looks if your defense isn't getting stops and after that timeout they've been more intentional about pushing the ball.
Zia is the "put her in and see if she has it" player and if she doesn't, send her right back. In other words, to Cooke or not to Cooke.
Richard Cohen@richardcohen.bsky.social · 2d agoEvery now and then Zia Cooke has these brief stretches where she looks like a real WNBA player. But at some point you actually have to shoot better than 35% from the field. How many years are they going to wait? #WNBA
The D'POY is movin' on up 💅✨ With her first block tonight, A'ja Wilson secures the No. 6 spot on the all-time blocks list!
I hope the Aces are mad about Saturday and go out and ruin the hell out of Barbie night.
She's 85 years old and she went out there and gave it a shot, so good for her. The rest of us will be lucky if we can walk five feet without pooping our diapers at that age.
Jeff Melnick@melnickjeffrey1.bsky.social · 3d agoI'm so bummed at how many people on the socials are laughing at Martha Reeves' unfortunate performance of the national anthem at the WPBL. Like...show some respect people! She is one of our great ones. So...I'm gonna thread about her, ok? 1/
the wnba alienating their core audience for the sake of people who wouldn’t watch a wnba game to save their child’s life is a bold gambit, to be sure
