As a Lynx fan - I'm going to miss Natisha so much! But for someone who has played a lot of basketball in MN/WI - not mountain or skyscraper states. I'm so happy for her getting to expand her horizons (literally) in Seattle!

Can also confirm via source that Aliyah Boston signed her 'EPIC' renegotiation and extension with the Indiana Fever for three extra years, protected, $1,000,000/[supermax]/[supermax]/[supermax].

That's the floating supermax, 20% of team cap, in 2027/8/9. ESPN (Shams/Kendra/Alexa) first. #WNBA

Per Shams & Andraya Carter: Wilson will earn $1.4 million for '26 & her salary will increase over the next 2 years based on her receiving 20% of Vegas' salary cap. My understanding is this is the first contract in league history structured this way. Every other multi-year deal featured fixed numbers

The jersey used by the Dodgers to retire Jackie Robinson’s iconic No. 42 in 1972 is preserved in the Hall of Fame’s collection.

Today, every MLB player will wear 42 in celebration of Jackie’s legacy.

While Jackie Robinson isn't here to be acknowledged on the day named after him, do you know who is?

Mrs. Rachel Robinson herself.

Who will be turning 104 in July.

And she still serves on the board of the Jackie Robinson Foundation

Is Ryan Ruocco the deputy commissioner of the WNBA, or do they really, really need to get to this NHL game? I guess it's better than the drafts where they have done it in groups?

The MNBA minimum salary is close to the max (not supermax) for the W - which means no name players are getting as much as A'ja and Stewie will get. I'm totally fine with a vet making 500K if they can hold a roster spot in this league!

Catching up on @thepressbox.bsky.social after the holidays and I'm delighted to have @bryancurtis.bsky.social's recap of the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa! It's incredible & hope that they still have the binders of letters people wrote to him in 1999 that I saw during my 2003 visit.
