3 of Janelle's 5 highest scoring games this season have come against Toronto and I want to know what she has against them

Every off-season, NBA teams take low-cost fliers on former lottery picks and stalled prospects. How often do these bets pan out? I looked at the historical data to find out. First article at the new site! Do Cheap Fliers on Failed Prospects Work? intheno.net/do-cheap-fli...
Do Cheap Fliers on Failed NBA Prospects Work?
Every offseason, NBA teams bet on former lottery picks and stalled prospects. Which gambles actually pay off, and what can history teach us about finding value?

![Q: Natalie, I know you don't have the [Indiana] Fever again in the regular season, but coming out of the break, one of the big news stories has been Sophie Cunningham and the protests for her and protests against her, they had a national televised game today, and Cheryl Reave talks to her.
It's just a conversation. I'm wondering, just what do you think about it? Do you think that's good for the league? Does it detract from the basketball? Is it just noise? I'm just wondering what your opinion is.
A: Thank you for that question. I think just in terms of how I'm seeing it is- I could answer with, like for me, sports is about belonging. It's about inclusivity. It's about allowing everyone to be their authentic self.
You know, I'm big on that just because I have been criticized for my height, for my ethnicity. I've been in those: "You shouldn't belong here" [conversations] many times, and for me, I don't want that space, especially Golden State, to ever feel like that. So I'm all about women, little girls deserving to play, and that includes trans women. So I'm all about inclusivity.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gxx7xoc6nkciavo2cb4lead6/bafkreicvgan5sfszvez5af24pbxqfzu6p7eh3lxjevg2pyq3lkypjrwtyy)
in the fourth quarter, Janelle missed a wide open 3 after making a billion contested ones, because she is the funniest player alive and I love her
going to a basketball game while recovering from a migraine is probably not my best decision ever, but maybe the Valkyries will fix me
it's been a long time since my swimming days but the 400 freestyle is one of humankind's worst events
emerged from the fog of another migraine to the Kelsey Plum news, probably a sign to go back into the fog
To start, TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS, PERIOD. What Cunningham said & what these protestors are supporting is harmful, dangerous & transphobic. Trans folk have the right to be in community w/ others, to feel safe, to be competitive, to have fun, to be human. That includes playing sports. 2/10
still trying to wrap my head around the fact that out-of-towners threw a bigotry party at a facility that is demanding $120 million from the city, and my friend got thrown out for trying to make it clear that hate has no home in Portland with a t-shirt that deliberately didn't cross into profanity
it's a beautiful day here in the bay and I have no interest in being a part of it
“the wnba is popular now so we have to change the league to accommodate people who are fundamentally opposed to everything the league is inherently about” well no we don’t actually, you’re lying, we do not have to do that
for reference, the trade deadline is Sunday at 12 PM PT (3 PM ET) and Sparks/Fire tips off Sunday at 12:30 PM PT
Edwin Garcia@ecreates88.bsky.social · 6d agoKelsey Plum says she will be back for the Sparks’ next game against the Fire on Sunday. She also said she will come off the bench and be on a minutes restriction.
i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice
victoria zeller🫛 (RISEBALL, summer ‘27)@dirtbagqueer.rocks · 6d agoenough of this shit
Transphobes generally don't like the WNBA anyway! Why are you going out of your way to accommodate them?!
Nneka, whatever happens in this game, ily for taking and making those threes
