Dominique devrait être de retour pour le match entre le Storm et le Lynx qui se jouera demain (19h).

[Storm Chasers @WNBAStormChaser]

Dominique Malonga is no longer on the injury report! The team also announced that they released Joyner Holmes, since she was on a Hardship contract until Malonga was ready to return. Also of note, Lexie Brown is OUT for tomorrow's game and listed as "Not with Team". #WNBA

Toujours les zoom action pour Marine 🔥🔥 Dommage de ne pas mettre une meilleure shooteuse à 3 points dans le corner car la passe était magnifique…

Wanted to dive into this DeMarco quote on Pauline Astier: "We're trying to give her the proper space for those attacks, and as the defense comes to help, she's really playing well behind the play, and that's so hard to teach young guards, to get to two feet and play behind. That's what we want in our offense, she's doing a really good job."

What is playing "behind" and why is it an important part of creating 3-point looks in this offense? Here:

We talked with Carla Leite pregame, she spoke about her opportunity with Portland, her time w/ GSV, and the leaps she’s taken:

“It was a fresh start for me with new teammates, a new coaching staff, and I think I took responsibility and I showed that I can play in this league.”

[Steve Jones @stevejones20]

Well that's no hesitation from Leila Lacan. The patience sold me, saw the under on one screen. Got a re-screen to confirm and let it fly.

"Noémie's got that [great POA activity]... great size, she moves well. She understands navigating pick & roll's... I'm really excited about her defensive potential, to be quite honest."

Nate Tibbetts spoke glowing with me on Noémie Brochant's impact + immediate respect earned.

Chris DeMarco said Marine Fauthoux was a full participant today in practice, and is "close" to being a participant in games.

Sabrina Ionescu (back soreness) is doing well, per DeMarco. "She had a long individual today, she's getting closer to participating in practice." He said the goal is to get Ionescu back for Wednesday's game v. Toronto.
