The former WNBA forward, who was recently released from her multi‑year Unrivaled 3‑on‑3 contract and is a free agent after her one‑year development deal with the Chicago Sky ends, logged just 17 games with the Los Angeles Sparks and two with the Sky this season.

Chiefs Starter Benched Again by Andy Reid Ahead of Broncos Clash
Andy Reid benches starting left guard Kingsley Suamataia for the second time, opting for veteran Mike Caliendo ahead of the Chiefs’ November 2 showdown with Denver. Suamataia, a 2024 second‑round pick with a 60.0 PFF rating, was sidelined despite 309 snaps and solid pass‑blocking grades, sparking speculation of disciplinary reasons dating back to Week 4. Caliendo, with limited snaps this season, takes the buck as the Broncos’ defense limits Kenneth Walker III to 69 yards and forces a 28‑24 loss, despite Patrick Mahomes’ 321 passing yards and three touchdowns. The move fuels doubts about Suamataia’s future role.

“It’s Not One Player”: Bill Belichick Makes Stance on UNC Unit Very Clear After Miami Loss
After a dramatic 38-35 loss to Miami, UNC head coach Bill Belichick emphasizes that the defeat was a team failure, not the result of a single player. He highlighted the Tar Heels' balanced offense, noting that quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. delivered a stellar 341-yard, four‑TD performance before a costly fourth‑quarter fumble was forced by Miami’s Marquise Lightfoot and recovered by Justin Scott. The turnover sparked Miami’s go‑ahead touchdown, and despite Edwards’ late TD, UNC couldn’t recover.

In Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw a 24‑yard pass that appeared to give Amon‑Ra St. Brown a touchdown, but replay officials overturned it, ruling the catch incomplete because they said he bobbled the ball before maintaining control in the end zone. The decision sparked a wave of fan outrage on social media, with many calling it a clear TD and accusing the refs of bias after the Lions benefited from disputed penalties the week before against Green Bay. St. Brown suffered a head knock during the play, underwent a quick concussion evaluation and returned early in the second quarter. The Lions sit at 4‑2, while the Vikings are unbeaten at 6‑0.
