7 years ago today Avery Chanel was killed 5 days into pride month. She should still be here, and if it wasn’t for transphobia and antiBlackness she would be.
Remembering her death is a way to activate our commitments to black trans lives and trans futures.
Being able to generate a high number of assists while also maintaining an elite assist-to-turnover ratio is one of the most valuable traits a playmaker can have.
Here are the four players this season averaging 5+ assists per game while posting a 3.0+ assist-to-turnover ratio. 🪄
I cannot believe Salaun got teed up for clapping after her 5th triple went down🤦🏽♀️ What are we doing #WNBA refs and why aren’t those techs for everyone?!?
history for pacific islanders!

We’ll be releasing our top 25 players to begin the 2026 season once preseason play concludes, but one thing is certain: Jackie Young enters the year as our top guard in the league.
During the regular season, Young averaged (16.5) points, (4.5) rebounds, (5.1) assists, and (1.3) steals on 48/36/89 shooting splits alongside A’ja Wilson for the Las Vegas Aces. She then elevated her play even further in the postseason, averaging (20.4) points, (4.8) rebounds, and (5.5) assists while helping lead the Aces to their third championship in four years.
Young recorded four 25-point performances throughout the playoffs, including a 32-point, 10-rebound, zero-turnover outing in a decisive Game 5 win over Indiana to send Las Vegas to the Finals. She also dropped 32 points in a Game 2 Finals victory over Phoenix.
The four-time All-Star also recorded the first two triple-doubles of her career during the regular season, accomplishing the feat against the Los Angeles Sparks and Atlanta Dream. ✨
