The loss of Courtney Vandersloot to season ending injury has forced the Chicago Sky shift their team context. In that has presented some growing pains, but ones met with urgency and attention to detail that will expedite the growth of both Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso. Stephen PridGeon-Garner dives into the details of the Sky's last 2 games vs Connecticut and Washington, with special guest and friend of the show, Siobhan Beslow.

BrownTown breaks down the relationship between police abolition and state-sanctioned police accountability measures with newly elected Police District Councilors David Orlikoff and Ashley Vargas. The guests square their PIC abolitionist organizing roots with the new accountability structure, Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability (CCPSA), for the Chicago Police Department. Three years after the first installment in the midst of the 2020 uprisings, BrownTown and the organizers-turned-electeds re-contextualize the path to abolition with the paradoxes, nuances, benefits, and challenges of this new structure on the foreground of the decades-long demand for community control over the police.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night San Francisco Giants 4, Detroit Tigers 3 Chicago White Sox 11, Los Angeles Angels 4 Cincinnati Reds 5, Chicago Cubs 3 Giants 4, Tigers 3 – Yastrzemski’s bat, glove help Giants hold off Tigers 4-3 Mike Yastrzemski hit a two-run single and made a beautiful catch in the outfield on Miguel Cabrera’s sharp liner, and the San Francisco Giants held off the Detroit Tigers 4-3. Giants lefty Carlos Rodón allowed one run and seven hits in six innings without a walk. Rodón has permitted just two runs over his last 27 innings. Yastrzemski’s leaping catch on the run in right field in the eighth robbed Cabrera of a likely extra-base hit White Sox 11, Angels 4 – Robert leads 17-hit White Sox attack in 11-4 win over Halos Josh Harrison and Luis Robert hit two-run homers during Chicago’s five-run fifth inning, and the White Sox pounded out 17 hits in an 11-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. José Abreu and Yoán Moncada had RBI doubles during a five-run seventh for the White Sox, who rallied from an early three-run deficit with multi-hit games from seven batters to win for only the second time in seven games. Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani hit back-to-back homers in the third inning for Los Angeles, which has lost five of eight. Johnny Cueto recovered from yielding three homers in a shaky third to pitch six innings for Chicago. Reds 5, Cubs 3 – Luis Castillo strikes out 11 as Reds beat Cubs 5-3 Luis Castillo struck out 11 over six shutout innings in his first win in a month, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 5-3 victory over Keegan Thompson and the Chicago Cubs. Castillo allowed five hits and walked three while throwing a career-high 123 pitches. Jonathan India hit a three-run homer for Cincinnati in the opener of a three-game series between the worst teams in the not-very-good NL Central. Thompson was charged with four runs and eight hits in 6 1/3 innings. The right-hander struck out eight and walked none.

Angels (Ohtani 6-4), 9:38 p.m. MLB – Senators ask minor leaguers for information on MLB antitrust The chairman and ranking minority member of the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a letter to an advocacy group for minor leaguers asking questions about baseball’s antitrust exemption. Sen. Richard Durbin, an Illinois Democrat who chairs the committee, and Charles Grassley, an Iowa Republican, sent the letter Tuesday to Harry Marino, executive director of Advocates for Minor Leaguers. The senators asked for information on “the impact of the antitrust exemption on the negotiation of players’ length of contract, wages, housing or other working conditions.” NBA – AP source: Knicks dealing Alec Burks, Noel to Pistons A person with knowledge of the details says the New York Knicks are trading Nerlens Noel and Alec Burks to the Detroit Pistons. The move frees up nearly $20 million more for free agency. Having already agreed to send Kemba Walker to the Pistons on draft night, the Knicks have shed nearly $30 million in salary for next season in advance of free agency opening Thursday night. The person confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade wasn’t official. It was first reported by ESPN, which said the Knicks would also send the Pistons two second-round picks and cash. NCAAFB – ACC changing scheduling model for football in ’23 and beyond The Atlantic Coast Conference is going forward with a plan to change its football scheduling model, with the biggest change being the elimination of divisions. The new plan, adopted by the league’s athletic directors and faculty athletic representatives on Tuesday, will be what the league calls a 3-5-5 model and goes into effect with the 2023 season. All 14 of the ACC’s football members will have three permanent scheduling partners and play those schools each year. They’ll face the other 10 schools once every two years; five one year, five the next. NFL – AP sources: NFL insists on indefinite suspension for Watson The NFL insisted on an indefinite suspension while Deshaun Watson’s legal team argued there’s no basis for that punishment as both sides presented their cases in front of a retired judge in Delaware on Tuesday, two people in attendance told The Associated Press. The hearing will continue on Wednesday and Watson is scheduled to be there for the duration, according to the people who spoke on condition of anonymity because the hearing isn’t public. Former U.S. District Judge Sue Robinson, who was jointly appointed by the league and the NFL Players’ Association, will determine whether Watson violated the NFL’s personal conduct policy and whether to impose discipline. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Today Connecticut Sun at Chicago Sky, 12:00 p.m. Indiana Fever at Phoenix Mercury, 10:00 p.m. WNBA – Trio of Chicago Sky players headline WNBA All-Star reserves Courtney Vandersloot, Kahleah Copper and Emma Meesseman will get a chance to play before their home fans as the trio was selected as reserves for the WNBA All-Star Game on July 10 in Chicago. The Sky stars will join Candace Parker, who was voted in as a starter to the game last week. Other reserve guards picked on Tuesday included Washington’s Ariel Atkins, Phoenix’s Skylar Diggins-Smith, Seattle’s Jewell Loyd and Dallas’ Arike Ogunbowale. Atlanta rookie Rhyne Howard was also picked by the league’s 12 coaches, who voted for three guards, five frontcourt players and four players at either position regardless of conference. The coaches were not able to vote for their own players. WNBA – Storm sign former MVP Tina Charles for the rest of season The Seattle Storm have signed five-time first-team all-WNBA center Tina Charles for the rest of the season. The signing comes three days after she was let go by Phoenix. The 33-year-old Charles was averaging 17.3 points and 7.3 rebounds in 16 games with the Mercury before the sides settled on a contract divorce last weekend. She’s expected to make her debut with Seattle on Wednesday night against Las Vegas. Charles was the league MVP in 2012. She averaged a career-high 23.4 points last season with Washington. She had signed with Phoenix in February. Tennis – Wimbledon – Serena Williams loses at Wimbledon in 1st match in a year Serena Williams has lost her first singles match in nearly a year. She was beat by 115th-ranked Harmony Tan of France in three sets at Wimbledon. Williams was two points from victory but could not finish the job and bowed out with a 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7) defeat. Williams is a 23-time Grand Slam champion. The 40-year-old American had not competed in singles since she got injured in the first set of her first-round match at the All England Club on June 29, 2021. She has won Wimbledon seven times. This was Tan’s debut at the All England Club. The match lasted 3 hours, 11 minutes and was contested with the retractable roof shut for the last two sets. US women beat Colombia 2-0; World Cup qualifying next Kelley O’Hara scored in the 77th minute after a lengthy lightning delay, and the U.S. women beat Colombia 2-0 in Sandy, Utah. It was the final tuneup for the United States ahead of World Cup qualifying. The U.S. extended its unbeaten streak to 69 games on home soil. Lightning was reported near Rio Tinto Stadium in the 75th minute, causing play to be suspended for more than 30 minutes. The Americans went ahead on an own goal from Colombia’s Manuela Vanegas. Carson Pickett started for the United States, becoming the first player with a limb difference to appear for the national team. She was born without a left hand.

The move frees up nearly $20 million more for free agency. Having already agreed to send Kemba Walker to the Pistons on draft night, the Knicks have shed nearly $30 million in salary for next season in advance of free agency opening Thursday night. The person confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade wasn’t official. It was first reported by ESPN, which said the Knicks would also send the Pistons two second-round picks and cash. NCAAFB – ACC changing scheduling model for football in ’23 and beyond The Atlantic Coast Conference is going forward with a plan to change its football scheduling model, with the biggest change being the elimination of divisions. The new plan, adopted by the league’s athletic directors and faculty athletic representatives on Tuesday, will be what the league calls a 3-5-5 model and goes into effect with the 2023 season. All 14 of the ACC’s football members will have three permanent scheduling partners and play those schools each year. They’ll face the other 10 schools once every two years; five one year, five the next.

The hearing will continue on Wednesday and Watson is scheduled to be there for the duration, according to the people who spoke on condition of anonymity because the hearing isn’t public. Former U.S. District Judge Sue Robinson, who was jointly appointed by the league and the NFL Players’ Association, will determine whether Watson violated the NFL’s personal conduct policy and whether to impose discipline.

Williams is a 23-time Grand Slam champion. The 40-year-old American had not competed in singles since she got injured in the first set of her first-round match at the All England Club on June 29, 2021. She has won Wimbledon seven times. This was Tan’s debut at the All England Club. The match lasted 3 hours, 11 minutes and was contested with the retractable roof shut for the last two sets.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 3, Pittsburgh Pirates 1 Chicago Cubs at Baltimore Orioles, PPD Los Angeles Dodgers 4, Chicago White Sox 1 Tigers 3, Pirates 1 – Another strong start by Faedo propels Tigers by Pirates 3-1 Miguel Cabrera hit a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning and the Detroit Tigers completed a two-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 3-1 victory. Harold Castro led off the eighth with a single against Wil Crowe and Jonathan Schoop followed with a bloop single to shallow center. Cabrera stepped in and delivered a sharp single up the middle, scoring Castro from second as Reynolds’ throw home sailed well up the first-base line. Daz Cameron doubled and tripled while driving in two runs for Detroit. Alex Faedo went 5 innings, only allowing 1 run on three hits, while striking out 7. Pittsburgh rookie Jack Suwinski hit his seventh home run for the Pirates. Cubs at Orioles, PPD, Rain – Cubs-Orioles postponed by rain; makeup set for Aug. 18 The interleague game between the Chicago Cubs and Baltimore Orioles was postponed by a relentless rain shower that started shortly before the scheduled start and never let up. Wednesday’s ill-fated finale of the two-game series will be made up Aug. 18, previously an off day for both teams. This was slated to be Chicago’s only visit to Baltimore in 2022, but now the Cubs will have to make a detour late this summer in an effort to earn a delayed split. The Cubs wrap a three-game set in Washington on Aug. 17, and the Orioles will be coming off a series in Toronto before hosting Boston on the 19th. Dodgers 4, White Sox 1 – Gonsolin, Smith, Bellinger lead Dodgers over White Sox 4-1 Tony Gonsolin improved to 7-0, tossing three-hit ball over six innings, and Will Smith and Cody Bellinger homered early to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Smith hit a two-run drive in the first inning, and Bellinger made it 3-0 when he connected leading off the second against Johnny Cueto. That was all Gonsolin needed. The 28-year-old right-hander struck out five and walked one while lowering his National League-best ERA to 1.58. The only run he allowed was when Jake Burger homered leading off the fifth. Cueto dropped his third straight start. The two-time All-Star went six innings, allowing three runs and four hits, and Chicago’s three-game win streak ended. Today L.A.

Marcus Smart added 24 points. Stephen Curry led Golden State with 31 points and six 3-pointers. He had 15 points in a 33-25 third quarter by the Warriors but was hurt late in the fourth after Al Horford rolled into his leg on a loose ball. It was similar to a play during the regular season in which Smart dove into Curry’s legs while chasing a loose ball. NBA – Net change: Warriors find Boston baskets set too high The Golden State Warriors arrived at the TD Garden for Game 3 of the NBA Finals to find that the basket they were shooting at in warmups was the wrong height. A 10-foot wooden pole was brought in to measure, and it confirmed that the basket was a couple of inches too high. It was quickly adjusted. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said during his pregame media availability that he wasn’t aware of the issue, but it wasn’t uncommon. Kerr then took the opportunity to needle the league for the finals’ late start times, saying: “It’s a good thing the game starts at midnight. We’ll have plenty of time to fix it.” NHL – National Hockey League – 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs – Conference Finals Tonight Tampa Bay Lightning at New York Rangers, 8:00 p.m. (Series tied 2-2) WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Last Night Connecticut Sun 88, Indiana Fever 69 Washington Mystics 84, Chicago Sky 82 Sun 88, Fever 69 – Connecticut beats Indiana 88-69 for 4th straight victory Brionna Jones had 18 points and nine rebounds, Jonquel Jones added 16 points and nine rebounds, and the Connecticut Sun beat the Indiana Fever 88-69 for their fourth straight victory.

Washington closed the first half on an 11-3 run to take a 45-40 lead and extended it to 57-42 after scoring 12 of the opening 14 points of the third. But the Mystics were held to just 15 points in the fourth as Chicago battled back. Chicago’s Candace Parker had a shot blocked but got her own rebound and converted a three-point play with 27.9 to tie it at 82. Cloud dribbled down the clock, drove to the basket and was fouled before making two free throws. Chicago got it inside to Parker, but her left-handed layup didn’t hit the rim. Nassar – Simone Biles, other women seek $1B-plus from FBI over Nassar Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and dozens of other women who say they were sexually assaulted by Larry Nassar are seeking more than $1 billion from the FBI for failing to stop the sports doctor. There’s no dispute that FBI agents in 2015 knew that Nassar was accused of assaulting gymnasts. But the agents failed to act, leaving Nassar free to continue to target young women and girls for more than a year. Individual lawsuits could follow the tort claims filed Wednesday. Claimants include Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney, all Olympic gold medalists. An email seeking comment was sent to the FBI. In remarks to Congress last year, FBI Director Christopher Wray acknowledged major mistakes. NCAATF – Notre Dame’s Jacobs wins 10K title at NCAA championships Notre Dame junior Dylan Jacobs overcame a fall to win the 10,000 meters at the opening day of the NCAA Track and Field Championships on Wednesday.

NFL – Bears had workout canceled for violating NFL contact rules Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus says the team had to cancel an offseason workout this week because they violated NFL rules by having live contact in a session last month. Eberflus said the contact that occurred was because of overzealous players and not the team’s practice structure. He said neither he nor the organization was fined, and the Bears found out Monday evening that Tuesday’s OTA session was canceled. The Bears were back on the field on Wednesday.

Eberflus said the contact that occurred was because of overzealous players and not the team’s practice structure. He said neither he nor the organization was fined, and the Bears found out Monday evening that Tuesday’s OTA session was canceled. The Bears were back on the field on Wednesday.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 3, Pittsburgh Pirates 1 Chicago Cubs at Baltimore Orioles, PPD Los Angeles Dodgers 4, Chicago White Sox 1 Tigers 3, Pirates 1 – Another strong start by Faedo propels Tigers by Pirates 3-1 Miguel Cabrera hit a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning and the Detroit Tigers completed a two-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 3-1 victory. Harold Castro led off the eighth with a single against Wil Crowe and Jonathan Schoop followed with a bloop single to shallow center. Cabrera stepped in and delivered a sharp single up the middle, scoring Castro from second as Reynolds’ throw home sailed well up the first-base line. Daz Cameron doubled and tripled while driving in two runs for Detroit. Alex Faedo went 5 innings, only allowing 1 run on three hits, while striking out 7. Pittsburgh rookie Jack Suwinski hit his seventh home run for the Pirates. Cubs at Orioles, PPD, Rain – Cubs-Orioles postponed by rain; makeup set for Aug. 18 The interleague game between the Chicago Cubs and Baltimore Orioles was postponed by a relentless rain shower that started shortly before the scheduled start and never let up. Wednesday’s ill-fated finale of the two-game series will be made up Aug. 18, previously an off day for both teams. This was slated to be Chicago’s only visit to Baltimore in 2022, but now the Cubs will have to make a detour late this summer in an effort to earn a delayed split. The Cubs wrap a three-game set in Washington on Aug. 17, and the Orioles will be coming off a series in Toronto before hosting Boston on the 19th. Dodgers 4, White Sox 1 – Gonsolin, Smith, Bellinger lead Dodgers over White Sox 4-1 Tony Gonsolin improved to 7-0, tossing three-hit ball over six innings, and Will Smith and Cody Bellinger homered early to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Smith hit a two-run drive in the first inning, and Bellinger made it 3-0 when he connected leading off the second against Johnny Cueto. That was all Gonsolin needed. The 28-year-old right-hander struck out five and walked one while lowering his National League-best ERA to 1.58. The only run he allowed was when Jake Burger homered leading off the fifth. Cueto dropped his third straight start. The two-time All-Star went six innings, allowing three runs and four hits, and Chicago’s three-game win streak ended. Today L.A. Dodgers (Anderson 7-0) at Chicago White Sox (Cease 4-2), 2:10 p.m. Tigers and Cubs are off NBA – National Basketball Association – 2022 NBA Finals Last Night Boston Celtics 116, Golden State Warriors 100 (BOS Leads 2-1) Celtics 116, Warriors 100 – Celtics beat Warriors 116-100, take 2-1 lead in NBA Finals Jaylen Brown scored 27 points, Jayson Tatum added 26 and the Boston Celtics beat back another third-quarter onslaught by the Golden State Warriors in a 116-100 victory that gave them a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals. Marcus Smart added 24 points. Stephen Curry led Golden State with 31 points and six 3-pointers. He had 15 points in a 33-25 third quarter by the Warriors but was hurt late in the fourth after Al Horford rolled into his leg on a loose ball. It was similar to a play during the regular season in which Smart dove into Curry’s legs while chasing a loose ball. NBA – Net change: Warriors find Boston baskets set too high The Golden State Warriors arrived at the TD Garden for Game 3 of the NBA Finals to find that the basket they were shooting at in warmups was the wrong height. A 10-foot wooden pole was brought in to measure, and it confirmed that the basket was a couple of inches too high. It was quickly adjusted. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said during his pregame media availability that he wasn’t aware of the issue, but it wasn’t uncommon. Kerr then took the opportunity to needle the league for the finals’ late start times, saying: “It’s a good thing the game starts at midnight. We’ll have plenty of time to fix it.” NHL – National Hockey League – 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs – Conference Finals Tonight Tampa Bay Lightning at New York Rangers, 8:00 p.m. (Series tied 2-2) WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Last Night Connecticut Sun 88, Indiana Fever 69 Washington Mystics 84, Chicago Sky 82 Sun 88, Fever 69 – Connecticut beats Indiana 88-69 for 4th straight victory Brionna Jones had 18 points and nine rebounds, Jonquel Jones added 16 points and nine rebounds, and the Connecticut Sun beat the Indiana Fever 88-69 for their fourth straight victory. DeWanna Bonner scored 12 points and Alyssa Thomas had 11 points, nine rebounds and five assists for Connecticut (10-3). DiJonai Carrington went 5 of 5 from the floor for the second straight game and finished with 12 points. Bonner moved into a tie for 17th in WNBA history for 3-pointers after a make early in the third quarter. NaLyssa Smith led Indiana with a season-high 19 points. Danielle Robinson added 12 points and Queen Egbo had 10. The Fever shot just 37.5% from the field, including 3 of 21 from distance. Mystics 84, Sky 82 – Cloud makes go-ahead free throw, Mystics hold off Sky 84-82 Ariel Atkins scored 19 points, Natasha Cloud made two free throws with six seconds left and the Washington Mystics held off the Chicago Sky 84-82 to avenge a series loss Sunday. Washington closed the first half on an 11-3 run to take a 45-40 lead and extended it to 57-42 after scoring 12 of the opening 14 points of the third. But the Mystics were held to just 15 points in the fourth as Chicago battled back. Chicago’s Candace Parker had a shot blocked but got her own rebound and converted a three-point play with 27.9 to tie it at 82. Cloud dribbled down the clock, drove to the basket and was fouled before making two free throws. Chicago got it inside to Parker, but her left-handed layup didn’t hit the rim. Nassar – Simone Biles, other women seek $1B-plus from FBI over Nassar Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and dozens of other women who say they were sexually assaulted by Larry Nassar are seeking more than $1 billion from the FBI for failing to stop the sports doctor. There’s no dispute that FBI agents in 2015 knew that Nassar was accused of assaulting gymnasts. But the agents failed to act, leaving Nassar free to continue to target young women and girls for more than a year. Individual lawsuits could follow the tort claims filed Wednesday. Claimants include Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney, all Olympic gold medalists. An email seeking comment was sent to the FBI. In remarks to Congress last year, FBI Director Christopher Wray acknowledged major mistakes.

But he says he had zero interest in the venture no matter how much money he was offered. Nicklaus was quoted in a Firepit Collective story as saying that he was offered in excess of $100 million to do what he assumes is the job now being done by Greg Norman. Nicklaus says his design company is building a golf course in Saudi Arabia and the meeting was a courtesy. He says his allegiance is with the PGA Tour. Golf – Dustin Johnson defies PGA Tour and joins Saudi-funded series Dustin Johnson is joining the Saudi-funded golf league. Johnson was the biggest surprise when the LIV Golf Invitational released its field for next week’s inaugural tournament next week in England. Phil Mickelson is not on the list. That’s another surprise. It was Mickelson’s comments about the Saudis and the PGA Tour that led to many top players pledging their support to the PGA Tour in February. Johnson has had a change of heart and is risking his PGA Tour membership. The LIV Golf tournament offers $25 million in prize money. The winner gets $4 million. NFL – Browns QB Watson facing lawsuit from 23rd massage therapist Another massage therapist has filed a civil lawsuit against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, raising the number of women who have accused him of sexual misconduct to 23.

Buzbee did not provide any details about the latest case. The previous 22 lawsuits were filed in 2021, and two of those cases recently received national attention when two of the women were interviewed for a segment on HBO’s “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.” Tennis – French Open – Nadal downs Djokovic Rafael Nadal got himself something for his 36th birthday, a nail-biting win over rival Novak Djokovic. Nadal won 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (4) in a monumental match in the French Open quarterfinals to move a step closer to his 14th championship at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament and 22nd major trophy overall.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Cleveland Indians 4, Detroit Tigers 1 Chicago White Sox 8, St. Louis Cardinals 3 Chicago Cubs 4, Pittsburgh Pirates 3 Indians 4, Tigers 1 – Civale dominates Tigers again in 4-1 Cleveland victory Aaron Civale dominated the Detroit Tigers again, taking a shutout into the ninth inning in the Cleveland Indians’ 4-1 victory. Civale improved to 6-0 with a 2.19 ERA in seven career starts against the Tigers, including three wins this season. He allowed one run, six hits and a walk in eight-plus innings. Civale started the ninth but left after Jeimer Candelario singled and Miguel Cabrera walked. James Karinchak allowed an RBI single to Jonathan Schoop and walked Akil Baddoo to load the bases with one out. Willi Castro took a called third strike and Eric Haase flew out to give Karinchak his sixth save. White Sox 8, Cardinals 3 – Giolito, White Sox beat Flaherty, Cards 8-3 in HS reunion Lucas Giolito beat Jack Flaherty in a major league matchup of former high school teammates, leading the Chicago White Sox to an 8-3 victory over the sloppy St. Louis Cardinals. Giolito pitched six innings of two-run ball in his second straight win, easily getting the better of a shaky Flaherty hurt by another poor defensive performance by the Cardinals. Flaherty lasted just 3 2/3 innings in his shortest outing of the season. The Harvard-Westlake reunion also had a little history behind the plate, with Joe West working a record 5,376th regular-season game, snapping a tie with Hall of Fame umpire Bill Klem.

Pederson hit a solo shot in the third inning, and his two-run blast in the fifth tied it at 3. It was the 16th multihomer game of Pederson’s career, and he doubled his season homer total to four. Arrieta put the Cubs in a 3-0 hole after two innings but settled down to raise his record to 3-0 against Pittsburgh in 2021. He has a 15-6 lifetime record versus the Pirates.

The Her Hoop Stats Podcast: WNBA & Women’s College Basketball
The Washington Mystics picked up wins against the Connecticut Sun and the Seattle Storm this week. Christy Winters Scott and Gabe Ibrahim break down how DC did it, what they can still improve on, and what the rest of the WNBA can do about it. They start by recapping the Mystics last week including the two wins and subsequent loss to the Chicago Sky. Then, the duo get into how DC's big 4-Emma Meesseman, Ariel Atkins, Aerial Powers, and Myisha Hines-Allen-have had so much success. Then, they look at the team's matchup with A'ja Wilson, Angel McCoughtry and the Las Vegas Aces. Finally, they breakdown Washington's upcoming games against the New York Liberty and the Indiana Fever, Sabrina Ionescu's injury, and make predictions for DC's next three games.
This is the one hundred and third episode of the Average to Savage podcast featuring Washington Mystics' guard Ariel Atkins. Paul Guarino talked with Ariel Atkins discussing why she went to Texas, her time in the WNBA bubble aka the Wubble, and winning the 2019 WNBA champion. Follow Ariel Atkins https://www.instagram.com/IamArielAtkins Podcast interview with Ariel Atkins was originally recorded July 20, 2020
GUESTAriel Atkins is a lead organizer of Black Lives Matter Chicago and was very active in the #NoCopAcademy campaign. She is also a hardcore anime and comic book nerd.OVERVIEWBrownTown finally tackles a much discussed topic on this podcast as well as in recent weeks, police abolition. Ariel begins by sharing how she came up in the movement and her transition from activist to organizer. BrownTown chimes in comparing the politicization process of the unpoliticized from the 2016 election to now (see Episode 11). All three share their thoughts and experiences since the global uprising against police brutality and white supremacy following the police killing of George Floyd. In explaining the current resurgence for the Black Lives Matter movement, Caullen sets the stage theorizing on coronavirus/quarantine breaking the trust privileged people had in the system (paraphrased from Heather McGhee) while Ariel explains the snowball of international uprisings in 2019 (shoutout Hong Kong, Chile, Venezuela).Ariel and BrownTown soon bring it home to Chicago, breaking down riots/rebellions as "language of the unheard" (MLK), critiquing Mayor Lori Lightfoot's draconian measures to quell Chicago protests and unwillingness to budge on getting police out of schools, Latinx and Black communities coming together after police manipulation of Latinx gangs, and more. Social media has been a firestorm of information, performative allyship, and a spark for real conversations and politicization. With this, the gang shares their on and offline interactions, explain #8CantWait vs. #8toAbolition, and what everyone can do to unapologetically show up for Black lives, fight white supremacy and anti-Blackness in all their insidious and invisible forms so that we all get free. Originally recorded June 15, 2020.--On Abolition: We would not be where we are in this moment if not for the centuries of work from our ancestors and decades of work from living legends such as Black Feminists Angela Y. Davis, Mariame Kaba, and Ruth Wilson Gilmore. In short, abolition is "about presence, not absence. It's about building life-affirming institutions" (Gilmore). We want to abolish these harmful systems in their current form and radically reshape our social and political structures to equitably meet our needs with respect to our natural environment. More than a political vision, abolition is a way of life that replaces carceral logics in virtually every aspect of our lives with restorative practices and ideologies.Abolition Resources and Topics MentionedAbolition 101 Guide (article) - MPD150Yes, We Literally Mean Abolish the Police (article) - Mariame KabaIs Prison Necessary?

“I felt like I couldn't tell a full story in four songs-I wanted the album to have a narrative arch, a whole, fully story that you have to listen to at once.” Proper. is a POC, queer Brooklyn based band who is ushering in a conversation into the emo/pop-punk scene about growing up in white suburbia and being into the music that they are. Their most recent album,* I Spent The Winter Writing Songs About Getting Better* recieved great review from The Alternative and even Pitchfork (a 7.4 rating!) and is totally inspired by The Wonder Years. Erik Garlington, the lead singer of Proper., says he recieved Dan "Soupy" Campbell's blessing about using the title for the album. They are playing a SOLD OUT holiday show with Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties and Jade from Oso Oso at the Starland Ballroom on Dec. 14! What we're saying is: check this band out so you can say you listened to them before they blew up.
