🚨 Azzi Fudd reportedly has been RULED OUT for her 4th consecutive game as the @DallasWings prepare to face Caitlin Clark and the @IndianaFever on Friday.
Why Dallas Needs Her Back ASAP:
- The Skid Without Her:
The Wings have dropped 3 of their last 4 games with @azzi_35 sidelined. Their only victory in this stretch was a narrow 94–88 win over Toronto - a struggling 10–23 team.
- Spacing & Perimeter Threat:
Shooting 39.7% from deep, Fudd is Dallas’ premier floor-spacer. Without her on the wing, defenses collapse on Paige Bueckers and clog up the paint.
- Rookie-Leading Defense:
Fudd leads all WNBA rookies with 1.7 steals per game. Facing a hyper-offensive backcourt like Indiana, her perimeter defense and ball pressure are desperately missed.
- Two-Way Workload:
Missing 13.1 PPG and over 31 minutes of elite guard play leaves a massive void in the backcourt.
While Dallas is rightly prioritizing her long-term knee health, there’s no question: the Wings need their No. 1 overall pick back on the floor to make a real run. 📈🏀
Can Dallas pull off the upset against Indiana without Fudd, or is her absence too much to overcome?
"...Estoy realmente contenta de haber seguido enfocándome en crecer, en cambiar un poco mi juego, en mejorar… a pesar de todas las opiniones que mucha gente tiene sobre mí todos los días en internet. No es fácil lidiar con todo eso. Me alegra que la realidad sea diferente..."
Iga Swiatek dedicates her Toronto title to anyone who is dealing with unfair judgment and hate
“I’m really happy about this tournament. It means so so much to me. These past months were not easy. I’m really happy I kept focusing on growing, changing my game a little bit, improving… despite all the opinions many people have about me every day on the internet. It’s not easy to deal with all of that. I’m happy the reality is different. The reality is that I have people that know me so well and people that support me. They’re here to give their best work. Just keep pushing you know.” ❤️
“I want to dedicate this title to anyone who’s dealing with unfair judgement and hate. Just keep pushing and keep growing. Keep focusing on yourself. You know what the best for you, always remember what’s ahead and what might be possible.” ❤️
"No hay una sola mujer trans o intersexual que domine su deporte. Incluso Caster Semenya, la intersexual mujer atleta más famosa y más exitosa, no “domina” su deporte. Caster ha ganado un total de dos medallas de oro olímpicas y no posee récords mundiales."
There has never been a known trans woman athlete who has won an elite (non-age-category) world championship in any Olympic-eligible sport, ever. And that’s not for lack of trying! I promise, we’ve been trying!
Trans women have been explicitly and openly allowed to compete in the Olympics since the 2003 Stockholm Consensus statement, which went into effect nearly 10 months before the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
Since the 2004 Athens Olympics, through the 2024 Paris Olympics, there have been over 81,000 Olympians (including those who competed in more than one Games).
Out of those 81,000 Olympians a total of 2 have been trans women & one came dead last the other came 37th out of 42.
There isn’t a single trans or intersex woman dominating her sport. Even Caster Semenya, the most famous, & most successful, intersex woman athlete doesn’t “dominate” her sport. Caster has won a total of two Olympic golds medals & holds no world records.
By contrast, Katie Ledecky has won a total of 9 Olympic gold medals and has broken 19 world records since 2013.
Why is Katie Ledecky treated like a marvel, and Caster Semenya and transgender women are treated like mutants?
There currently exists no evidence to suggest that trans women who elect to suppress testosterone (through, for example, gender affirming hormone therapy and/or surgical gonad removal) maintain disproportionate advantages over cisgender women indefinitely.
More specifically, current evidence suggests any physical performance advantages trans women do not fall outside the range observed among XX women after 2 years of testosterone suppression.

The WNBA has officially responded following a virtual task force meeting led by Commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
Addressing both ongoing discussions around transgender athlete eligibility and online harassment directed at players, the league released a statement clarifying its stance:
Key Takeaways From the WNBA Statement:
- No Immediate Changes:
The league confirmed that "there are no immediate
eligibility matters affecting the WNBA," reiterating that current policy (Article XIII) simply states "only players who are women are eligible to play."
- Denouncing Online Abuse:
The WNBA strongly condemned the "continued hate and vitriol directed at players online" and called out "bad-faith efforts to use these topics to demean or marginalize others." - a direct response to recent announcements by former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring their intention to enter the 2027 WNBA Draft
- Ongoing Stakeholder Conversations:
Commissioner Engelbert noted that any long-term policy shifts must involve negotiations with the WNBPA, stating the league will hold further discussions and listening sessions with team leadership.
Unlike global bodies like FIBA and the IOC - which recently adopted genetic sex screening policies, the WNBA's collective bargaining structure means any rule changes must be negotiated with the players' union rather than enacted unilaterally.
How do you think the league and Players Association should navigate these conversations moving forward?

New York has a rhythm all its own. Sabrina Ionescu knows how to move with it. 🗽 From the biggest stages in the game, she’s been making her mark and carrying the city with her every step of the way. She stars on SLAM 264 in the SLAM x Nike Sabrina 4.
Per league source, the WNBA is not taking declarations by former NBA players for the ‘27 WNBA Draft seriously. Source called them attempts to “sow division and chaos” by “bad-faith actors.” Nothing is imminent; league will follow its process and not let outside noise dictate it.
