Sports Seriously
The first signature shoe for Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson by Nike wasn't around very long as the A'Ones hit the market on Tuesday and sold out in less than five minutes.
When the shoes went on sale at 10 a.m., it didn't take long for the website to say the in-demand kicks were out of stock.
As of Wednesday morning, the link for the shoe on Nike's website still says "the product you are looking for is no longer available."
Wilson said on social media that the pink shoes, which retail for $110 for adults and $90 for kids, will be available again later in the week.
'This morning was wild,' she wrote on Instagram. "If you missed the A'One, don't worry. We're dropping again Thursday at Nike stores and other spots everywhere. I do this for the real ones, always.'
The Texas Longhorns women's basketball team wore the pink A'Ones during their run to the Final Four.
"I couldn't believe it. Even seeing them when I was surprising them, some of them already had the shoes on, and I'm like, "All right, well, the cat's out the bag." It's extremely just joyful for me to share this experience," Wilson told For the Win. "To see young girls, to see teams, to see boys ― everybody in between ― wearing my shoe, particularly on a big stage like the Final Four when they didn't have to."
The A'One Blue Indigo Girl and white OG Pearl shoes will be available on May 15
Wilson, who is the 13th woman to have a signature shoe, is only 28 years old but has won the WNBA MVP three times, Defensive Player of the Year twice, and led the Aces to two championships. The Aces begin their season on May 17 against the champion New York Liberty

Newcomers out, or limited, for first Purdue basketball practice: 3 things we learned
WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue basketball big man Trey Kaufman-Renn looks up and down the roster and struggles to find a weakness for a preseason national championship favorite. He's eager to finally experience that much-anticipated squad in its complete form. Summer practice began Monday without two of the Boilermakers' biggest offseason additions. South Dakota State transfer center Oscar Cluff is waiting on his renewed visa to arrive so he can board a plane from Australia. He is expected in West Lafayette soon. Incoming freshman guard Omer Mayer remains overseas, as he will play with Team Israel at the FIBA Under-19 World Cup in Switzerland later this month. As a result, his own visa process is less time-urgent. Another incoming transfer, former North Florida forward Liam Murphy, participated in a limited capacity. Purdue coach Matt Painter said Murphy is not expected to be fully cleared from shoulder surgery until the fall. "It's going to take time to get people in different systems, especially the way that we play," Kaufman-Renn said. "We play a little bit differently than a lot of other teams, so it'll take time for it to be perfect. But from what I've heard, what I've seen as far as their film. I think they'll fit right in." Here are three things we learned from Monday's practice on Cardinal Court: Second-year center Daniel Jacobsen will soon depart for the Team USA training camp to compete for a spot in the same FIBA Under-19 World Cup where Mayer will play. Monday, though provided the first public look at Jacobsen participating in full-contact action since the broken tibia which ended his freshman season after two games. Our book on Purdue basketball's Final Four run is the perfect Father's Day gift It was a different look, too, as Jacobsen has added over 30 pounds, weighing in around 253. Beefing up his 7-foot-4 frame had always been part of his freshman plan. Sitting out most of the season accidentally helped that process. "I feel a lot better, a lot bigger," said Jacobsen, who crashed to the floor a few times and bounced right back up. "I feel like I'm not getting moved around as much." Raleigh Burgess remains out after offseason leg surgery and may not participate this summer. The decision not to use a redshirt season with him last season drew the most attention because it came down to the start of the season. Last season's other redshirt decision will lead to a bigger role for Jack Benter. The Brownstown Central grad was somewhat out of sight, out of mind last season while sitting out. Now he'll fight to earn guard rotation minutes and can also play the 4 in smaller lineups. "He's got good length, good size," Painter said. "He can stretch the defense. He knows how to play." Painter called Monday's practice a "glorified pickup game." Yet it's an important first step for freshman guard Antione West Jr., the player with the steepest learning curve. That freshman initiation can be a tough process for those coming in with a big class. Coming in with a small one amplifies the corrective focus of the coaching staff. West was merely getting his feet wet Monday. The NCAA allows up to eight weeks of required summer activities. Of the eight allowed hours per week, no more than four can be spent on skill instruction such as drills and film sessions. The rest of the time can go toward weightlifting and conditioning.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson could step up in his second season.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson could step up in his second season. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers traded away star wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys earlier this offseason, so they would love someone to step up and replace him in the 2025 season. Advertisement In a recent article by PFF's Ryan Smith, he picks 10 second-year players who could make a bigger impact in 2025 than they did in their rookie seasons. While his case is a bit different, one of the players he picks is Steelers receiver Roman Wilson. "Wilson had a rookie season to forget in 2024, as he suffered an ankle injury in the Steelers' first padded practice... His NFL debut in Week 6 lasted just five snaps before a hamstring injury ended his campaign for good," Smith wrote. "Moving forward, Wilson has an opportunity to step up into a bigger role... Pittsburgh has very little depth at wide receiver behind recently acquired D.K. Metcalf, and the team will need his production to contend in a tough AFC North division." Wilson was not able to show what he is capable of in his rookie season due to injuries, but there is a reason the Steelers selected him in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. In his final season with the Michigan Wolverines, the 23-year-old wideout tallied up 789 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns, and was a key part in his team winning the National Championship. Advertisement Multiple sources have said that Wilson is impressing in Steelers OTAs, so he will be looking to show that promise when the 2025 regular season starts.

Duke guard Tyrese Proctor reveals strengths ahead of 2025 NBA draft
Duke guard Tyrese Proctor reveals strengths ahead of 2025 NBA draft Tyrese Proctor had a productive three-year run in college, and the former Duke guard is working to showcase his ability and skill set to teams ahead of the 2025 NBA draft. Proctor was a third-team All-ACC selection last season, averaging 12.4 points, three rebounds and 2.2 assists on 40.5% shooting from 3-point range in 38 games. He led the Blue Devils with 89 3-pointers, ranking third in the conference. The 6-foot-5 Australian helped Duke qualify for the NCAA Tournament in each year while with the program, including a run to the Final Four this year. He established himself as an impact player at both ends of the court, traits he wants to showcase at the next level. "I'm really versatile as a guard," Proctor said Monday after working out in Sacramento, via Sean Cunningham of KCRA-TV. "I can guard multiple positions. I had to play defense at Duke for three years, so I've always had that. But, offensively, I played on the ball, off the ball, so whatever the team needs from me." Proctor finished in double figures 26 times last season, including four 20-point performances. He produced a season-high 25 points and two assists on March 23 in a win over Baylor in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The 21-year-old said he has completed five team workouts, with about five remaining before the draft on June 25-26 in Brooklyn, New York. He is projected to be a second-round pick because of his ability to play at either guard spot, shoot and defend. Proctor is eager to continue proving himself in workouts against his peers and help his draft stock. He is confident his time in Durham has prepared him for the NBA. "We had a highly talented offensive group at Duke," Proctor said. "I think just carrying that over, learning how to play in a system, play your role (and) sacrifice minutes, points or whatever it may be -- I think that is going to be the biggest transition."
