The GIST: WNBA free agency has lived up to the hype, with a myriad of moves coming after the official signing period opened on Saturday. All that action has set the stage for tonight’s 7 p.m. ET three-round entry draft in NYC. Keep those notifications on — women’s basketball never sleeps.

✈️ Here are the biggest names on the move so far:

• 🗽 Three-time All-Star Satou Sabally is Big Apple–bound, signing a multi-year deal with the NY Liberty, who also managed to keep their superteam core intact.

• ✨ 2016 MVP Nneka Ogwumike will return to the LA Sparks, where she spent 12 seasons and earned eight All-Star nods and a WNBA title.

• 🌃 Perennial All-Star Skylar Diggins headlines the Chicago Sky’s wheeling and dealing, which includes adding defensive juggernaut DiJonai Carrington and walking bucket Rickea Jackson.

• 💜 Two-way star Gabby Williams is a Golden State Valkyrie, creating a dynamic defensive tandem with the recently re-signed Veronica Burton.

‼️ How free agency will impact the draft: Talent abounds in both the draft and free agency. Between the increased salary cap under the landmark CBA and the unprecedented number of free agents, teams have had more flexibility than ever in building their rosters ahead of today’s draft. That means front offices can prioritize — and even manufacture — the perfect fit.

• For example, the Dallas Wings, who own today’s No. 1 pick, filled a huge roster hole by inking a pair of post players (including reigning co-Defensive Player of the Year Alanna Smith), moves that align with selecting a certain sharpshooting guard first overall. *winks*

⏰ The clock’s ticking, and the pressure’s on. On draft day, every team’s chasing that perfect player: versatile, reliable, and built to perform. Sounds a lot like the 2026 Toyota RAV4.

This SUV makes every drive a highlight reel with:

⚡ A hybrid engine that combines power and efficiency.

🌎 Go-anywhere grit to help conquer whatever life throws at you.

🎒 Space to play, whether you’re packing road-trip essentials or gameday gear.

No scouting report needed — the RAV4 is a first-round choice every time.

The GIST: World No. 2 Rory McIlroy has cemented his legacy among golf’s greats, winning his second consecutive Masters yesterday. McIlroy’s victory wasn’t straightforward, but was decidedly human — par for the course for the Northern Irishman — complete with both brilliant strokes and bonehead swings. Truly a tradition unlike any other.

💪 McIlroy surges back to top chaotic leaderboard: The reigning champ had a six-stroke lead, the largest in Masters history, after the first two rounds of play. But the field brought their Sunday best to Augusta National, with No. 3 Cameron Young, No. 9 Justin Rose, and No. 33 Sam Burns all trading the top spot while McIlroy struggled early on.

• But McIlroy regained his composure by the seventh hole, reclaiming the lead to become the first back-to-back Masters champion in 24 years and just the fourth ever alongside Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods, the last player to achieve the feat.

🫶 Newfound freedom on display: In 2011, McIlroy held a four-shot Masters lead before a shocking collapse. The tourney haunted the Northern Irishman, who later suffered a 10-year major drought until he conquered his demons and won at Augusta last year. Now, he’s back donning his green jacket. Perhaps there’ll be Guiness on next year’s Champions Dinner menu?

☝️ Just like tonight’s No. 1 draft pick, the 2026 Toyota RAV4 isn’t here to sit on the sidelines. It’s ready to change the game. With bold looks that demand attention, a spacious interior that adapts to every part of your day, and tech that’s built for real life, this SUV can play every position.

• From electrified performance to bold design, the 2026 RAV4 is built for adventure, style, and everything in between. Give yourself and your squad the ultimate upgrade this spring.
