Referee Isaac Barnett showed incredible care and compassion towards Kelsey Mitchell tonight when she needed help. WNBA officials have taken a lot of criticism lately. He deserves praise for this.

Good news, basketball fans: Red Panda intends to be ready for next season. Red Panda's recovery should take a few months, her agency said the day after she fell off her unicycle and crashed to the court during halftime of the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final. spr.ly/60144lF8G

Last night during DET/NY Game 3, the crew made a correct no-call on a backcourt play. We explained a similar play in 2023 where, on a loose ball play, momentum played a factor in a player crossing over into the back court. As stated in the rulebook, this same rule also applies to throw ins in the last two minutes of the 4th quarter and OT when a player who is receiving a throw in has momentum that takes him into the backcourt after he catches the pass.
Another backcourt related play. Olynyk deflects the ball & causes the ball to be loose. Sabonis regains possession in front court, but his momentum brings him into the backcourt. Momentum applies anytime the ball is loose. By rule this is NOT a backcourt violation #MixedBagFriday

On the Morant/Dort play: while we cannot judge intent, it is very obvious that Dort slips while trying to turn around after the pass. Morant had already elevated and Dort is caught in a tough position. Hard foul, but IMO, it does not meet criteria for a flagrant foul.
