Tokaduadua finished the campaign with 27 deflections and 13 intercepts and continues to show why she's one of the most promising prospects in the game. The Matariki award is given to the player that lives the values of the team every day. This year's dual winners were Lisa Mather and Kate Burley.

WNBA Player Embarrassingly Denied Entry At Club After All-Star Game
WNBA Player Embarrassingly Denied Entry At Club After All-Star Game originally appeared on The Spun. A WNBA All-Star had an embarrassing time trying to get into a club while in Indianapolis for the All-Star Weekend. While streaming on Twitch, Minnesota Lynx guard Courtney Williams tried to get into a nightclub, but the bouncer wouldn't let her cut the line. Williams appeared almost outraged that the security personnel wouldn't give her any VIP treatment. "Bruh, we in the 'W' and (expletive) and we just got done at the All-Star Game," Williams said. "So, I'm sorry, I'm not even trying to be funny but we should not be waiting in no line." Things got a little more awkward later that night when Williams apparently went to Sports Illustrated party featuring world-renown DJ Diplo. Williams apparently demanded at one point that Diplo stop playing EDM music and change the music playlist to some hip-hop. While some fans took issue with Williams acting entitled, Diplo took it in stride: "I loved this party and I love a challenge as a dj. I was booked with the amazing @carlypearce . we had a country vibe going - if all the studs and WNBA All Stars want to turn up I'm goin to run it .. its not hard for me to go from country/ house / hip hop and take everyone on a journey and be as inclusive as possible . If Courtney comes with this energy I'm gonna match it - check my setlist from Saturday night in Indiana.. its a party for everyone where else but mid west America can we do this?" he wrote on X. For most of the rest of the world, Williams has now become a pretty polarizing player. She has no shortage of fans and is currently enjoying one of the best seasons of her career. But many new WNBA fans have quickly found that they're just not her target audience (to put it very mildly). All it all, it was a pretty good weekend for Williams on the court.

Kraken Named As One Of Seven Potential Destinations For Star Foward
Sportsnet's Ryan Dixon named the Seattle Kraken as one of seven potential destinations for Dallas Stars forward Jason Robertson. The Stars might be cornered into a situation where their only possible outcome is to trade their 25-year-old star forward. Robertson is heading into the final season of the four-year, $7.75 million contract he signed following the conclusion of his entry-level deal. Robertson will become an RFA at the end of the 2025-26 season. The Stars made a franchise-altering trade to acquire Mikko Rantanen and signed him to a $12 million AAV contract, but the Stars are now very tight with the salary cap. The Stars have been very keen on re-signing Robertson, but if an agreement is out of the question, the Stars have to look at other possibilities. The Kraken were named alongside the Los Angeles Kings, Carolina Hurricanes, Washington Capitals, Columbus Blue Jackets, Detroit Red Wings and the Utah Mammoth as the best destinations for the American winger with a career-high of 46 goals and 109 points. "The Stars' off-season housekeeping included dumping a salary to Seattle, as big winger Mason Marchment — with one year remaining on his deal — was sent to the Kraken for a fourth-round pick. Could that be the precursor to a much more major deal between these squads? As much as any team in the league, it feels like Seattle could use an injection of high-end scoring. Even if the Kraken — deep down in their bones — don't see themselves as a playoff squad this coming season, Robertson is a player who could help for many years to come. The Kraken — who have ample cap space — hold two first-round picks in both 2026 and 2027. Dealing from that cache could certainly form the basis of a package that might intrigue the Stars," said Dixon in his article. Robertson won't be a cheap add or re-signing, but he possesses the skill the Kraken's forward group lacks. The Kraken have ample forward prospects and picks they could send to the Stars to acquire Robertson if they believe he can drastically improve their roster. Should The Kraken Target Jason Robertson? The Seattle Kraken are looking for stars and entering a new era under head coach Lane Lambert, acquiring Jason Robertson from the Dallas Stars could help check that box off. Kraken Acquire Mason Marchment From The Stars The Seattle Kraken have acquired Mason Marchment from the Dallas Stars in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2025 and a third-round pick in 2026.

MA Stars loss for Humana baked into earnings bridge, says Morgan Stanley
Morgan Stanley analyst Erin Wright reiterated an Equal Weight rating and $290 price target on Humana (HUM) after a court granted the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' motion to dismiss the case the company brought against it and defined all other pending motions as moot. While the firm awaits a decision on whether Humana will appeal or not, it said it is important to note that Humana's earnings bridge to 2028 already assumed Medicare Advantage Stars lawsuit loss in addition to continued Stars challenges in 2027 before returning to top quartile Stars performance in 2028.
