A’ja Wilson has Labubu a fan gave her.

It has A’One drip and doesn’t have a name, but she says she should give her teammates one and they need a hoodie-blazer one for Becky Hammon.

PLEASE WATCH THIS. 🤣

I asked Jewell Loyd was going through her mind on A’ja Wilson’s game-winning shot:

Loyd, jokingly: “Honestly, defense … just next play.”

Becky Hammon on the last play: “Who gets the ball to A’ja. Get out the way.”

Wilson says it wasn’t even a play. Says she’s grateful that Hammon trusted her.

Satou Sabally is up now. Headed to the tunnel.

She got up. Went back down. And up again. Just an awful scene.

Oh no. Satou Sabally just took an awful hit to the face.

She hit Kierstan Bell’s knee on the way down to the floor. Whole team is around her, and the arena went very quiet.
