The former number-one pick became just the third player in WNBA history to record 750 points and 200 assists in a single season, joining Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Plum.

The player-equity pool now sits close to $200 million.
Ashley Sanchez netted twice in a 2-0 victory over Angel City to become the North Carolina Courage's all-time single-season top scorer with 15 goals this campaign.

The LPGA Tour is bringing professional women's golf back to Hong Kong for the first time since 1976 with the Futu Ladies World Championship at The Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club, scheduled for 4-7 March 2027.
