Angel Reese BANGS HEAD On The Court From Hard Fall, Foul Challenged | Chicago Sky vs Atlanta Dream.

Dawn Staley sat courtside to watch three former Gamecocks play in WNBA on Tuesday night

South Carolina women’s basketball coaches Dawn Staley and Lisa Boyer took advantage of the short drive to Georgia and watched former players Kamilla Cardoso, Allisha Gray, and Laeticia Amihere on Tuesday night, as the Chicago Sky defeated the Atlanta Dream 85-77 in the WNBA game.

Staley and Boyer sat courtside, and neither wore a jersey or shirt specific to one team. Staley donned a Chanel visor. Amihere and Cardoso were seen hugging the two after the game, and Boyer handed each of them goodie bags of candy.

Tuesday was a big day for other former Gamecocks in the WNBA, Amihere and Gray included. Amihere was named to the Canadian women’s basketball Olympic team, which will compete against A’ja Wilson in Paris later this month. Gray, along with Aliyah Boston, was named to the 2024 WNBA All-Star team.

After the Sky’s win, Staley visited Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon, whom Staley used to guard when both played in the WNBA. The two took a picture shortly before Weatherspoon said “post this right here, love this one, appreciate you Dawn.”

Much has been made about the way players have been treating Caitlin Clark.

Las Vegas Aces guard Jackie Young changed that conversation with one move as she was given the task of guarding Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark in Tuesday night’s 88-69 win over the Fever in Las Vegas.

Their matchup was competitive. At one point, Clark slipped while driving to the basket and needed a second to get back on her feet.

Noticing this, Young purposely loosened and re-tied her shoelaces while talking to the Fever rookie.

It was a moment that did not go unnoticed by cameras:

Fans absolutely loved what they were seeing from a veteran player to Caitlin Clark:

With the victory, the Aces improved to 11-6 on the season, while the Fever dropped to 8-13. The Aces are currently third in the Western Conference standings, having won their last five games in a row.

Jackie Young is a big reason for that, as she has returned from injury, and the team is now soaring.

In the game against the Fever, however, she scored 15 points on 5 of 16 shooting from the field while launching eight total 3-pointers and only hitting two of them, per ESPN.com.

Caitlin Clark also had a rough night from the field. She scored 13 points on 4-12 shooting and 1-7 from behind the arc. She did dish out 11 assists, but she also had six turnovers and five fouls.

Caitlin Clark Was a Huge Reason Why WNBA Sees Largest Crowd In 25 Years

The Las Vegas Aces winning streak extended to five games on Tuesday, and they did so in front of a record-breaking crowd.

With the help of Caitlin Clark, the clash between the Fever and Aces occurred in front of 20,366 fans at T-Mobile Arena, representing the largest WNBA crowd since 1999.
