I’m so excited to share that Natasha Howard’s memoir, “The Vision Through My Lens: My Life in Basketball and Beyond” is available for pre-order.
Tash and I started working together on this over a year ago while she was playing overseas in Turkey. We met over many 2 am FaceTime calls (my time), then in between her practice schedule and game days while she was in Indiana and even while navigating the uncertainty of the CBA negotiations. As I saw the life of a pro, she opened up how she has made it all happen.
Her story, in her own words, is one of resiliency, strength, and the kind of unwavering dedication that it takes to not only win three-WNBA championships but to truly defy the odds.
I can’t thank @THoward_6 enough for trusting me to be a part of the very thing she’s always wanted to do: tell her story, on her own terms.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs has been diagnosed with a mild bone bruise in his right knee and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, sources tell ESPN. Suggs avoided any other major structural damage.

Gabby Williams on her now viral huddle with the Valkyries right after Game 3: "Ive been too loose as a leader…. I have been too much of, ‘It’s alright, we’ll figure it out. We’re good, we’re good.’ I wanted to show my team something different because we need something different... I had to get out of my comfort zone and re-motivate the troops.”

I asked Angel Reese about her new “Queen of the South” nickname from Hawks star CJ McCollum.
“It is really cool when you men’s team shows love to you … I guess that’s my new nickname - Queen of the South.”

From a WNBA spokesperson:
“As part of our standard process when a team makes an inquiry, we have reviewed multiple video angles and available audio, and spoken with those involved. It is clear on video and audio that Breanna Stewart asked Referee Kevin Fahy about the reset timeout. At that moment, there were multiple overlapping conversations and non-verbal exchanges between the referees, game participants, and also Stewart with Liberty bench personnel, which led to a misunderstanding amongst the various parties. Our referees can certainly handle these interactions better and have been given that feedback. No further follow up is expected on the situation at this time.”
