Brittney Sykes trade details: WNBA All-Star goes to Storm from Mystics
The Seattle Storm are adding some star power to their quest to contend with the WNBA's best this postseason. The Washington Mystics traded All-Star Brittney Sykes to the Storm on Tuesday as part of a move intended to shake up a playoff race that feels especially wide-open after the recent injury to Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier. The Mystics, who are in rebuilding mode sitting in ninth place in the WNBA standings, received the Storm's 2026 first-round draft pick, three-time WNBA champion Alysha Clark and guard Zia Cooke in the deal. Sykes is averaging 15.4 points, 4.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game, while shooting 31.8% from beyond the arc. The 5-foot-9 guard received her first All-Star selection this season and has four WNBA all-defensive team selections during her nine-year career, which also includes stints with the Atlanta Dream and Los Angeles Sparks. She signed with the Mystics as a free agent ahead of the 2023 season. WNBA TRADE DEADLINE: 2025 candidates include Marina Mabrey, Aaliyah Edwards 'We're grateful for (Sykes') contributions this season as she played a key role in our growth,' Washington Mystics General Manager Jamila Wideman said in a statement. 'We're proud of the individual success she achieved during her time with us, including earning her first All-Star selection. This allows Slim the opportunity to join a team that is expected to contend for a championship this season.' The Storm are in sixth place in the WNBA standings with a 16-13 record entering Tuesday's game against the Lynx. They have lost three of their past four games, despite a couple prolific scoring efforts from Nneka Ogwumike. The hope is Sykes can provide a boost to the team's offense along with guard Skylar Diggins, forward Gabby Williams and guard Erica Wheeler. Clark played more than 300 career games over two stints with the Storm (2012-2020 and 2025) and helped the franchise win two WNBA championships (2018, 2020). She was named the WNBA Sixth Player of the Year as a member of the Las Vegas Aces when they won the league championship in 2023. The 38-year-old forward is averaging 3.5 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.7 steals per game this season. 'This was a great opportunity to continue building our program and move us closer to our long-term goals,' Wideman said. 'Alysha brings veteran leadership that in invaluable as our team continues to develop and grow.' The Mystics subsequently waived Cooke, a member of South Carolina's 2022 NCAA championship team who was the No. 10 overall pick by the Sparks in the 2023 WNBA draft. She is averaging more than 10 minutes per game in 2025 and shooting a career-high 38.2% from 3-point range. Washington also released Sika Kone to complete the transaction. The Mystics, losers in five of their past seven games, are now in possession of three 2026 first-round picks. Seattle still has two first-round picks in 2026 after previously acquiring them in deals with the Los Angeles Sparks and Las Vegas Aces.

Trump establishes task force for 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles
President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order establishing a task force to oversee the 2028 Summer Olympics, which will be held in Los Angeles. Trump said the order will 'mobilize the entire federal government to ensure the games are safe, seamless and historically successful.' Task force members include Vice President Vance, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles. Casey Wasserman, chairman of the 2028 LA Olympics organizing committee, was also in attendance on Tuesday. He presented Trump with a set of Olympic medals from the 1984 Summer Olympics, which were also held in Los Angeles. The order signing came after Trump has clashed with California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) over the administration's immigration enforcement efforts in the city. Trump formed a similar task force earlier this year to oversee the logistics surrounding next year's FIFA World Cup, which the U.S., Mexico and Canada are jointly hosting. The Olympics will likely have to contend with various policy changes under the Trump administration. The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee late last month barred transgender women from competing in women's events, aligning itself with an executive order from the Trump administration.

Trump is creating a task force for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles
President Donald Trump is establishing a task force for the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles 1:15 WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump is establishing a task force on the 2028 Olympic Games being held in Los Angeles. Trump will sign an executive order on Tuesday to make the task force official, the White House said. The 2028 Games will be the first Olympics to be hosted by the U.S. since the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah. Trump 'considers it a great honor to oversee this global sporting spectacle,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement, calling sports one of the president's 'greatest passions.' LA28 president and chair Casey Wasserman said the task force "marks an important step forward in our planning efforts and reflects our shared commitment to delivering not just the biggest, but the greatest Games the world has ever seen in the summer of 2028.' During a briefing Tuesday afternoon, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said the task force would 'coordinate across federal, state and local agencies to ensure streamlined visa processes, robust security and efficient transportation.' Along with the 2028 Summer Games, Trump has said that the 2026 FIFA World Cup being hosted by the U.S., Canada and Mexico is among the events he's most looking forward to in his second term. In preparation for next year's competition, the governments of all three countries on Tuesday said they had held the first meeting of a trilateral coordinating council of government officials, industry leaders and security professionals discussing a variety of issues including preparedness for any security threats ahead of the World Cup. ___
