1. Sabrina Ionescu Sets Liberty 3-Point Record 🔥
Sabrina Ionescu made her 401st career three-pointer during Thursday’s win over the Mystics, becoming the Liberty’s all-time leader in threes made. (Sports Illustrated)
WHY IT MATTERS: Milestones like this cement Ionescu’s status as one of the best shooters the W has ever seen. She didn’t just break a team record on Thursday, she made WNBA history.
It took Ionescu just 151 games to reach 400 threes, making her the fastest player in league history to hit that mark—7 games faster than Diana Taurasi, who previously held the record.
2. Caitlin Clark’s Return Still Day-to-Day ❤️🩹
Caitlin Clark will be reevaluated this weekend as she works through a left quad strain that’s kept her out of the past three Fever games. She’s already been ruled out for Saturday’s matchup against the Sky. (ESPN)
WHY IT MATTERS: Clark runs the show for Indiana. Since she went down, the Fever have gone 1–2, and while Aari McDonald has stepped in and stepped up, there’s no replacing the league’s biggest draw and Indiana’s offensive engine. Clark is the focal point, and all eyes are on her timeline.
3. Notre Dame Hires GM to Boost Recruiting Power ☘️
Notre Dame has hired a General Manager to support its women’s and men’s basketball programs, serving as business leadership in this evolving world of college hoops. The new hire is Pat Garrity, a 1998 alum and former NBA exec.
WHY IT MATTERS: With NIL and the transfer portal reshaping college hoops away from amateurism, top programs like Notre Dame are adding full-time GMs to stay competitive. Garrity’s job will be long-term roster building, recruiting strategy, and managing player movement. It’s a sign that Notre Dame is serious about staying ahead in this new era.
