Getty Images 'Emma's a great player. She's going to be a really good fit here,' Tibbetts said before the Mercury's July 25 loss in Brooklyn. 'There were two or three teams involved. We were lucky enough to be one of them. And I think she made a good choice. She's familiar with Sandy [Brondello] and played with [Breanna Stewart] and she's a great player and she's going to help them.' Reeve was a little more forthcoming with her answer. The Lynx and Liberty — the Nos. 1 and 2 teams in the league, respectively, this season — are set to square off Wednesday in what will be their first meeting since New York beat Minnesota last October to clinch the 2024 WNBA title.

Notre Dame great Skylar Diggins continues to make WNBA history with quickest triple-double
Notre Dame great Skylar Diggins continues to make history in the WNBA, cementing her legacy within the league. After recording the first triple-double in WNBA All-Star Game history on July 19, the Seattle Storm guard hit the record books again on Monday when she recorded a triple-double in just three quarters, as the Storm defeated the Connecticut Sun 101-85. Diggins's two free throws at the end of the third quarter gave her 11 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in 22:51 of action, the lowest minute total for a triple-double in WNBA history. She also became just the second player in Storm history to record a triple-double, joining Temeka Johnson (2014). The Fighting Irish legend is the fourth player in the league to record a triple-double this season, and it was the 46th in WNBA history.
