Wings guard Paige Bueckers says she has a pulled back muscle and will take it 'day to day'
NEW YORK (AP) — Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers said Tuesday night she thinks she has a pulled back muscle and will be taking 'day to day.' Bueckers, the No. 1 pick in the draft, left Tuesday night's game against the New York Liberty with 2:37 left in the third quarter and went to the locker room with tightness in her back. She said she stretched the back and received a massage gun treatment before returning to the bench at the start of the fourth and playing in the final period. She finished with 21 points, eight rebounds and four assists in an 85-76 loss. 'I was just dribbling the ball and just felt a tightness come along,' she said of the moment of the strain. 'It's day to day. I'm hoping it won't take me out. Just get some treatment, get some rest. 'I think it's just a pulled muscle. I felt a strain, felt it tighten, so am just getting it worked out.' Bueckers is averaging 18.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists in her rookie season. She leads a struggling Dallas team in points, assists, steals and blocks. ___ AP WNBA:

Williams and Cardoso have double-doubles, Sky beat Mystics 78-64 to snap 8-game skid
CHICAGO (AP) — Elizabeth Williams had 18 points and 10 rebounds, Kamilla Cardoso added 16 points and 13 boards, and the Chicago Sky beat the Washington Mystics 78-64 on Tuesday night to snap an eight-game losing streak. Chicago (8-21) avoided being swept in the four-game regular-season series. The Sky had lost six straight against the Mystics and five in a row at home in the series. Shakira Austin made a layup to open the scoring but Chicago ripped off a 14-0 run to take the lead for good. Cardoso had 12 points and 10 rebounds in the first half — the 6-foot-7 center's seventh consecutive double-double and ninth this season. Cardoso's layup at the buzzer gave the Sky a 35-28 lead at the end of the second quarter and the Mystics got no closer. Sonia Citron led Washington (13-16) with 13 points and Kiki Iriafen scored 10. The Mystics have lost three in a row and six of eight. Angel Reese (back), who has missed six of the last eight games, and Hailey Van Lith (ankle) did not play for the Sky. Ariel Atkins returned from a seven-game absence due to a leg injury and finished with 15 points and five assists for Chicago. Michaela Onyenwere scored 12 points. The Mystics traded Brittney Sykes, who leads the teams in scoring (15.4 per game), assists (4.4) and steals (1.24), to Seattle earlier Tuesday in exchange for Alysha Clark, Zia Cooke and a 2026 first-round pick. The Sky shot a season-high 54% (34 of 63) from the field, had 22 assists and led by as many as 19 points. Washington was 2 of 15 (13%) from 3-point range and shot 53% (8 of 15) from the free-throw line. The Mystics play the second of four straight road games Friday at Minnesota. Chicago hosts Atlanta on Thursday. ___ AP WNBA:

Jerry Jones says no contact with Micah Parsons amid trade request
Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has not spoken to Micah Parsons since the star defensive end publicly requested a trade last week. Jones spoke to reporters Tuesday following a joint practice between the Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams, his second such media session in four days after Parsons took to social media Friday amid a breakdown in negotiating a contract extension. Asked if he has any confidence Parsons will be on the field ready to play for the Cowboys in their season opener at the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 4, Jones said, "Again, no. Absolutely not. A big part of that is his decision. How would I know that?" Jones again said that the Cowboys organization has not had direct contact with Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta, before reiterating that he does not consider the holdup in talks unusual. "There's points of varying degrees of influencing not having something done, but nothing that I would say is out of the ordinary," Jones said. Parsons has not responded publicly to Jones' remarks. The 26-year-old remains at training camp but has yet to participate because of a sore back. He spent part of Tuesday's workout talking to Cowboys defensive back Trevon Diggs, Rams wide receiver Davante Adams, and former Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth. "I did notice him, but there's 200 players out here, and a lot of good ones, and so that's really what you're dealing with," Jones said of Parsons' continued attendance at practice. "All of our fans know that when you walk out here. In this case, 200 football players out here, so you're not just having someone snap out at you in terms of what you're paying attention to." Jones again alluded to his direct conversations with Parsons in the spring over a contract extension that would almost certainly make the two-time All-Pro the highest-paid defender in NFL history. The nature of those talks has been disputed by Parsons, who is going into the final season of his five-year rookie contract and could be franchise-tagged in 2026 without an extension. "There is no question that in the case of the player contract, you have to have it in writing," Jones said. "All parties do. Do we have a contract in writing? Yet we're still talking about renegotiating. So, so much for that." Jones continues to express his belief that the issue can be resolved to the satisfaction of both Parsons and the Cowboys. "Our future is a challenge, and I'm built for it, and he's built for it," Jones said.
