HVL finally underwent clean up surgery on her right ankle after playing through injury for the entire season.
Still not sure why this wasn’t undergone earlier this summer. Came in with the injury and never got it right. Really struggled through her rookie season as a result.

Angel Reese teased the first episode of her new podcast season as being an “exit interview my way.”
Did not mention the Sky by name once in the episode. Only Chicago reference is talking about Caleb Williams going to her nail tech.

Isaac Okoro says he was in a hot Pilates class when the Cavaliers traded him to Chicago. Had a great class, came out and immediately got the call from his agent.
(For the record, he’s still looking for a new Pilates studio in Chicago.)

This story is about improved investment from the Sky.
But it also highlights the team’s pattern of patchwork spending — such as Ann Crosby doubling up as both strength and conditioning coach and VP of operations.

Noa Essengue working on shooting mechanics after practice today.
He’s been putting in daily work with the Bulls player development staff since getting to Chicago. Said he’s mainly adjusting to the NBA ball, which players often say has a slightly different feel from FIBA.
