Mystics: Like we said, fearless leader (and quietly married!) Natasha Cloud re-signed with the Mystics yesterday, and we can’t wait to see her back on the court. But you know her return to the hardwood won’t stop her fight for social justice. Get a girl who can do both.

The GIST: After a thrilling championship Sunday, a handful of teams punched their ticket to the Big Dancehttps://thegist.cmail20.com/t/t-l-mjipn-wtjhjikhl-m/. And with more conference championshipshttps://thegist.cmail20.com/t/t-l-mjipn-wtjhjikhl-c/ on deck for this week, things are just getting started. Groovy.

This week from the Blackhawks and Notre Dame

The GIST: Our NBA All-Stars weren’t the only ones ballin’ this weekend. There was plenty of action from our college hoopers as well.

The GIST: It’s March, which can only mean one thing: the Gonzaga men’s and women’s basketball teams are powering into the postseason. First stop? Today’s WCC Tournament semifinals.

This week from the Nets, Islanders, and Rangers

This week from the Sixers, Flyers, and Lions

This week from college basketball and the Capitals

The GIST: We watched the NBA All-Star Game (ASG) so you could watch the Harry and Meghan interview with Oprah instead. You’re welcome.

Sue Bird had a busy week, from officially re-signing with the Storm on Monday to launching a new media company on Tuesday.

The GIST: Not everyone is stoked that the NBA has chosen to hold an All-Star Game in the midst of a pandemic, but hey, at least they’re making the best of it.
