A'ja Wilson's Mom Needed Just One Word To Make Aces Star Regret Her Postgame Outfit
A'ja Wilson's Mom Needed Just One Word To Make Aces Star Regret Her Postgame Outfit originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson may have made history on the basketball court, but it was her mom who stole the show during Wilson's postgame press conference. Advertisement Fresh off her record-setting performance in the Aces' thrilling 104-102 win against the Golden State Valkyries, Wilson sat down with reporters at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas to discuss the game. However, before she could answer a question, her phone buzzed under the table. 'I'm sorry, can you say that one more time?' Wilson said, pausing mid-interview. 'My mom just sent me a picture of the way I look on this press conference. She sent me a picture and was like, 'Why?' Okay mom, I'm sorry.' Wilson, laughing, then pulled off her red headscarf right there at the press table. The viral moment was captured and shared by Bleacher Report on Instagram, where fans quickly flooded the comments section with relatable reactions. Advertisement 'Everyone needs a mama like this!' one fan wrote. Another joked, '😂😂😂 can always count on mom to humble us.' A third fan chimed in, '😂😂😂😂 Mama called a real-time family meeting!!!' echoing the universal feeling that moms always know how to keep their kids in check. 'That is so real! My mom would have done the same thing lol,' another follower shared. Someone else imagined Wilson's mom's text was 'definitely in all caps 😂.' One fan summed it up perfectly, saying, 'I'm dying laughing cause this is our moms 😂.'

Mandatory Credit: Lucas Peltier-Imagn Images© Lucas Peltier-Imagn Images Wilson's look that sparked the text from her mom was her pregame outfit, which she wore both to the arena and during the press conference. Advertisement The reigning WNBA MVP sported a white sleeveless basketball jersey styled as a short dress, featuring red and blue accents, with 'Comets' and the number 14 on the front. She paired it with matching white shorts underneath, white knee-high socks, white athletic shoes, and the now-infamous red headscarf. After missing games due to a wrist injury earlier in the week, Wilson came back strong. She became the first player in WNBA history to score 34 points, grab 16 rebounds and record two blocks in a single game while shooting an incredible 70% from the field. Yet even on a historic night, Wilson learned one thing for certain: No one is safe from a mom's real-time feedback—even an MVP. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.

Wizards' No. 2 overall pick dunked on by former Gonzaga star Drew Timme
Sparks are flying in the NBA Summer League. On Sunday night, former Gonzaga star Drew Timme made his mark with 30 points for the Brooklyn Nets. One highlight over a notable Wizards player put an exclamation mark on a fantastic individual performance. Advertisement Midway through the second quarter, Timme executed his signature pick-and-roll action and got the ball driving down the lane. The Wizards' second overall pick, Alex Sarr, made the mistake of meeting Timme at the rim. The result was a rim-rocking highlight play. It wasn't a pretty moment for Sarr, but he had a highlight night of his own. The big man set a Summer League record with eight blocks. He also chipped in 16 points and 12 rebounds. The Wizards won 102-96. They also got 21 points from this year's sixth overall pick Tre Johnson. It's a tough individual moment but a great sign overall for Washington. Sarr's rookie season showed a need for growth if the Wizards want to get their return on investment. The future could be bright at Capital One Arena. Advertisement For Timme, his 30 points didn't lead to a win but they're not in vain. The former Gonzaga star is battling to stay in the league and explosive plays like his poster slam over Sarr showcase his talent. The real winner of the game is the Summer League, which is in need of new storylines after the announcement that Cooper Flagg will be shut down for the summer. It leaves space for a player like Sarr or Timme to take the spotlight like they did on Sunday night.

EU Plans Closer Ties With Countries Hit by US Tariffs
Good morning. The EU plans to engage with countries hit by US tariffs. Advances in Chinese biotech are changing the world's drug pipeline. And London is now the second-most expensive city for luxury spending. Listen to the day's top stories. The EU plans to team up with nations hit by Donald Trump's tariffs, and will reach out to Canada and Japan for possible cooperation, people familiar said. It's also delaying countermeasures against the US to allow more time for talks. In case you missed it, Trump threatened to slap a 30% levy on the bloc by August if they cannot negotiate better terms. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said such a rate would hit exporters in his country 'to the core.' In markets, US and European stock futures slid and Asian shares edged lower amid the tariff tensions. Bitcoin breached $120,000 for the first time, with investor optimism increasing almost daily. And oil traders are on alert for Trump's 'major statement' on Russia later today.
