In women's basketball, the transfer portal keeps reshaping the landscape. Addy Brown is heading to defending champion UCLA, while her former Iowa State teammate Audi Crooks commits to Oklahoma State. Iowa State continues to bleed talent, losing a wave of players as programs around the country cash in on their roster.
Shifting to the hardwood, Oklahoma City takes a significant hit. Jalen Williams is week-to-week after suffering a Grade one left hamstring strain, and the Thunder will re-evaluate on a rolling basis. Williams has been central to everything OKC does offensively, so this is a real test of depth for a team with championship expectations.
And in Milwaukee, a new chapter begins. The Bucks are hiring Taylor Jenkins as their next head coach, according to ESPN. Jenkins, forty-one years old, spent several seasons building the Memphis Grizzlies into a legitimate contender before parting ways this past year. Milwaukee is betting his player development track record can unlock this roster's ceiling.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
