WNBA Legend Refuses To Apologize For Calling Angel Reese 'C-Tier' Player
WNBA Legend Refuses To Apologize For Calling Angel Reese 'C-Tier' Player originally appeared on The Spun. Angel Reese is already a two-time WNBA All-Star, but she apparently has a long way to go in order to be considered an "A-tier" player. Earlier this month, three-time WNBA champion Candace Parker was asked to do a "tier ranking" for some of the biggest names in women's basketball. She started off things by placing A'ja Wilson, Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart in the "S" tier. The second tier (A) included All-Star guards Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Plum and Sabrina Ionescu. Interestingly enough, Parker didn't place Reese in the "B" tier. She gave that honor to Arike Ogunbowale and Paige Bueckers. Parker rounded out her list by placing Reese in the "C" tier alongside Cameron Brink. "I put her right at that C level," Parker said. "I think in terms of being above, you have to be able to have the ability to carry a team and be a 1 or 2 option. I think Angel Reese is fantastic at her role, which is offensive rebounding." During an appearance on the "Good Follow" podcast, Parker was asked about the criticism she received for placing Reese in the "C" tier. Parker made it clear that she stands by her decision. "They asked me my opinion on player tiers, and my thing is, if you bring something to the argument, bring something else," Parker said. "Can she get to player A, or player S, or whatever? Yes, she can. Right now, I don't know if she's alongside those players. And you're measuring her against players that have been in the league for years." It's tough to argue against Parker, who was a seven-time All-Star and two-time MVP during her WNBA career. Besides, placing Reese in a "C" tier isn't exactly insult. She's still ranked ahead of most players in the league. Reese will be back on the court Thursday night against the Seattle Storm. We'll see if she can extend her double-double streak to 11 straight Legend Refuses To Apologize For Calling Angel Reese 'C-Tier' Player first appeared on The Spun on Jul 23, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 23, 2025, where it first appeared.

Seattle Storm guard Skylar Diggins records quickest triple-double in WNBA history
After recording the first triple-double in WNBA All-Star Game history on July 19, Seattle Storm guard Skylar Diggins made more history on Monday. She became the second player in Storm history to record a triple-double -- and she did it in three quarters. 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. Temeka Johnson recorded the Storm's other triple-double with 13 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in an overtime loss to the New York Liberty in 2014. Diggins is the fourth player in the league to amass a triple-double this season. Diggins did not play in the fourth quarter as the Storm defeated the Connecticut Sun 101-85. Seattle had led by as many as 32. Diggins' triple-double the 46th in WNBA history. Alyssa Thomas has 16, the most in WNBA history. Only eight players have multiple triple-doubles in their careers.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Skylar Diggins had a triple-double, Nneka Ogwumike scored 26 points and the Seattle Storm blew past the Connecticut Sun 101-85 on Monday night. Nine days after recording the first triple-double in WNBA All-Star Game history, Diggins did it again with 11 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists against the Sun. Seattle led 57-46 at halftime, then Ogwumike had nine points and Diggins scored four as the Storm added 13 points in the first three minutes of the third quarter. Seattle scored 30 points in the period and took an 87-58 lead into the fourth. Ogwumike shot 11 for 13, including 4 of 5 on 3-pointers. She did not attempt a shot in the fourth quarter. Seattle's 86.7% shooting in the third quarter was a franchise record for any quarter. The Storm cooled down in the fourth quarter, scoring 14 points. They finally reached the 100-point mark when Zia Cooke hit a jumper with nine seconds left. Williams scored 16 points, Dominique Malonga had 12 and Ezi Magbegor 10 for Seattle (16-11).

WINGS 92, LIBERTY 82 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Arike Ogunbowale had 20 points and 14 assists, Paige Bueckers scored 20 points and Dallas hung on to beat New York despite making only one field goal in the fourth quarter. Dallas led 85-62 through three quarters but a 3-pointer from Aziaha James with about 7 minutes remaining was the Wings' only basket of the final period. New York outscored Dallas 20-3 over the first 8 1/2 minutes, capped by Jonquel Jones' 3-pointer that made it 88-82. Bueckers — with former UConn teammate Azzi Fudd in attendance wearing an 'I Heart PB' T-shirt — finally scored for Dallas, making two free throws with 1:06 remaining. After Jones missed a jumper, DiJonai Carrington made two free throws for a 92-82 lead with 54 seconds left.
