Asked if he's been told he'll be back next season, Liberty coach Chris DeMarco said: "every communication I've had, the dialogue I've had, the answer is yes." On staff changes: "I have no idea, man." He gave no timeline for Satou Sabally's concussion.

No timeline on Allisha Gray, so Atlanta leans on rookie Isobel Borlase, 21. "I don't think we win either of the last 2 games without the production we got from Izzy," Karl Smesko said; he wants it through the Finals. Angel Reese also credited DeWanna Bonner.
"We couldn't resume the drill until I made the 2 in a row." Angel Reese said Atlanta coach Karl Smesko stopped a camp drill until she hit two straight threes in front of the team. Smesko said the staff "changed her shot like completely" and expects more growth next offseason.
