Been less eager about posting breaking news on social media, so I reported on Li Yueru’s trade and one other Storm news in the @blackrosiemedia.com Tempestade Talk slack channel. If you’re want to join, let me know and I’ll get you the link. Shout out @elindsay08.bsky.social for that platform!

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).

As part of my outlet’s coverage of Tyler Marsh’s introductory presser I am answering question from Brazilian fans about what was discussed. Because of Kamilla Cardoso, there’s a massive interest in the Sky there. Check the video, it has English subtitles. I’ll be answering more on IG: @ beta_basket
