Gabby Williams will not participate in EuroBasket 2025, per her Instagram stories. It reads: “After careful consideration I made the difficult decision to not participate in EuroBasket 2025. It is a personal decision that I do not take lightly, and I will remain France’s no. 1 fan…”

A lil fun fact for my fellow WBB nerds: Paige Bueckers is the first player since Breanna Stewart in 2016 to be drafted No. 1 and win the NCAA championship in the same year. Only seven players have done so in WNBA history, all from two schools: UConn (5) and Tennessee (2).

Roberta Rodrigues @robertafr.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

Pokey Chatman won’t coach Brazil during their WNBA tour due to the same rules that don’t let Kamilla Cardoso and Damiris Dantas to play for the national team. The Storm also has a preseason game the same day Brazil faces the Fever May 4. betabasketinenglish.substack.com/p/pokey-chat...
