Angel Reese’s first game as a member of Team USA could not have gone much better. She might have wanted just one more rebound to pad her stat line, but it wasn’t necessary for the Americans to get the job done in dominant fashion.
Reese, a rising senior at LSU, is coming off of a national championship during her first year with the Tigers after transferring from Maryland. The 21-year-old has quickly become a household name because of her on-court performance and because of her animated personality.
She is one of the highest-earning athletes in the NIL space, both male and female.

Trevor Bauer was not happy with his Japanese teammates on Saturday. The 32-year-old former Cy Young Award winner lost his mind on multiple occasions throughout the game.
Bauer, in his first year playing overseas, has not pitched in the MLB since 2021. He was placed on administrative leave amid an investigation into significant sexual assault allegations and was later suspended per the league’s domestic violence policy.

The Twitter world was hit with a harsh reality on Saturday after owner Elon Musk announced that the platform would have a view limit because, as Musk put it, “we are all Twitter addicts and need to go outside.”
The change initially restricted non-paying users to view a maximum of 600 tweets per day (300 for new accounts), and Twitter Blue members to 6,000. Those limits were later bumped up twice.
After users reached their view limit, they would receive an error message which read, “Rate limit exceeded.
