Story amid the Skylar Diggins mess: The Chicago Sky practice facility still has no firm opening date with All-Star Weekend less than three weeks away.

The WNBA's announcement in October said the facility would be used for “community impact events.”

Karolina Muchova after losing to Noskova in the Wimbledon final

“when I look to my corner… Sorry 🥹. I’m sorry. It’s emotional. When I look to my corner I have all my friends and family who canceled their plans and came here today for me.” 🥹

Gotta feel for Muchova

NEW: The personalized message Bryce Harper recorded in 2024 for a man deep in gambling debt was purchased through video-sharing platform Cameo, and the MLB star did not know it would be used as part of FanDuel’s VIP bettor program, sources tell @FOS.

Dan Patrick on WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert cancelling her appearance on the show:

"If you want to be treated as a serious league, this is what happens! These are tough questions, but this is a fair outlet for you – a fair platform. I will treat you with respect."

Cheryl Reeve politely declined to comment when asked a question about officiating.

"This is my press conference celebrating 380 amazing wins. I'm not letting anything steal my joy."

[Amber Cox @AmberLCox]

@jamelehill Nonsense. You know who is also happy after ANY win? CC. Because this is a team full of people who celebrate and care for one another and like all of them, she’s a great teammate.

We all cannot wait to have CC back on the court. Enough with this ridiculous narrative.

News: Jess Shepard is joining Unrivaled in 2027, signing a multiyear deal with the 3-on-3 league.

[Colin Salao @colincsalao]

The Dallas Wings made a questionable decision when they handed $2M to Jess Shepard in the offseason, one of eight non All-Stars to get a seven-figure deal.

She's become one of WNBA's best bargains.

Last week, 7-Eleven sued Nike over a planned July 11 (7/11) sneaker release w/ an orange, green, & red stripe design similar to the scheme used by 7-Eleven.

Nike seems to have removed the shoe from its upcoming release page, & a link to that sneaker now leads to an error page.

News: The WNBA will hold All-Star events at the Obama Presidential Center, including practice and media day.

The announcement made no mention of the Sky's new practice facility, despite an October release saying it would host “community impact events” during All-Star Weekend.

[Colin Salao @colincsalao]

The Obama Presidential Center, which opened last month, has a 60,000 square foot athletic building that includes a WNBA-regulation basketball court.
