You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
The PWHL is going coast to coast. San Jose becomes the league's twelfth franchise, completing a four-team expansion that takes women's professional hockey into California for the very first time. This league has grown fast and it is not slowing down.
Shifting to the hardwood, the Chicago Sky delivered a devastating update Tuesday. Forward Rickea Jackson, one of the brightest young talents in the WNBA, has suffered a torn ACL in her left knee. She went down Sunday against Minnesota and the MRI confirmed the worst. Jackson is done for the season, and this is a massive blow to a Sky team that needed her badly.
And on the gridiron, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is not letting this one slide quietly. The Seattle wide receiver, the NFL's reigning AP Offensive Player of the Year, posted a video to Instagram calling out the league after his award trophy arrived with the wrong label on it. He called it disrespectful, and honestly, when you just had the best offensive season in the league, you have every right to expect they get your name right.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
