[Justin Russo @FlyByKnite]

Kelsey Plum, through 9 games, is averaging 24.8 points, 6.9 assists, and 1.6 steals. Only player in WNBA history to put together a 9-game stretch hitting those marks. She’s done it on a 68.6 TS%. Plum is shooting 89% inside the restricted area and 41% on 3s.

[LA Sparks PR @LASparksPR]

The Sparks tied a WNBA record with two teammates posting at least six offensive rebounds in the same game (Dearica Hamby and Nneka Ogwumike each recorded six). This is the fourth such instance in franchise history and first since July 8, 2014.

[WNBA Communications @WNBAComms]

Atlanta Dream guard Rhyne Howard and Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum have been named the WNBA Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for Week 2 of the 2026 season.

[Los Angeles Sparks @LASparks]

[LA Sparks PR @LASparksPR]

Last night, Sparks forward Nneka Ogwumike rose to fifth on the WNBA's all-time scoring list. Also, on the court at the time, as an opponent, was the league's third-leading scorer, DeWanna Bonner. And watching courtside from her spot next to the Sparks' bench was the WNBA's all-time leading scorer, Diana Taurasi. Sixty percent of the WNBA's Top 5 scorers shared the Mortgage Matchup Center court Thursday evening for a historic scorers' soiree.

Dearica Hamby’s 85.2 TS% tonight is the highest ever by a player who logged at least 25 points, 15 rebounds, and 3 assists in a WNBA game.

Asked Lynne Roberts about critiquing without leaving wounds: “That’s leadership, right? That’s coaching. ... If they’re great, they want to be coached. ... But that’s leadership. Accountability without enforcement is nothing. It’s just words.”

It’s the Trojans’ sixth shutout of the season and matches the program record for consecutive wins (1955).

Most 20+ point G in Northwestern men’s basketball history:

Nick Martinelli - 46

Martinelli had 26 of those (56.5%) this season, tied for third-most in Big Ten history, behind only Zach Edey & Carsen Edwards.

[Joshua Jonah Fischman @SportsCommsJosh]

Kobe Sanders - 22 and counting

(Lamar Odom made 20 triples in 2000-01)

Swats and long shots!

[Shotgun Spratling @ShotgunSpr]

Trojans remain unbeaten and are now a win away from tying the longest win streak in program history.

Mason Edwards gave up his first run, giving up a solo HR on a day when wind was up to 30 mph howling out. (Adrian Lopez, Andrew Lamb, Jack Basseer, Augie Lopez all hit HR.)

[Dallas Wings @DallasWings]

Paige Bueckers is the winner of the third annual 2025 PBWA Tamika Catchings Award ⭐

The award honors the WNBA player who best combines high level on-court performance with professionalism, cooperation, and dignity in dealing with the media and the public.

[Steph Noh @StephNoh]

Reporters call him contemptuous. His teammates call him the most genuine superstar ever.

From $8k tips for housekeepers to gifting a teammate the bracelet off his wrist, here is the side of Russell Westbrook that he hides from fans and media:
