On this episode of Club Hoops, we break down the Aces moving on from Carter after a hot start, a sharp drop in role and production, and a roster move that brought in rookie Justine Pissott. Carter can clearly play, but the bigger question is whether the fit, trust, timing, and championship expectations in Las Vegas still made sense.
We also get into the Skylar Diggins situation with the Chicago Sky. After Diggins publicly reacted to being moved to the bench, she was later listed out with a right knee injury. We debate the timing, the optics, the Sky’s communication issues, and whether this is another sign of deeper dysfunction in Chicago.
Plus, we react to the 2026 WNBA All-Star reserves, including Atlanta Dream getting three players selected, Marina Mabrey and Dominique Malonga making their first All-Star teams, and the biggest snubs — especially Alyssa Thomas, Kahleah Copper, Brittney Sykes, and Azzi Fudd. We also discuss how awkward it is that Chicago is hosting All-Star Weekend without a current Sky player in the game.
