Aitana Bonmati is back, and Spain couldn't be happier about it. The three-time Ballon d'Or Feminin winner has been named to the Spanish squad for their crucial FIFA Women's World Cup qualifier against England, returning from a fractured fibula she suffered back in November. That is a massive boost for La Roja.
Over in the WNBA, Aneesah Morrow of the Connecticut Sun is doing something special early in this season. The forward is leading the league in a key statistical category and making it clear she belongs among the elite. She is not waiting for an invitation to the conversation, she is forcing it.
And in New York, the Jaxson Dart and Abdul Carter situation is getting louder. Dart attended a Donald Trump rally in New Jersey, Carter responded publicly on social media, and now the debate has spilled onto ESPN New York's Michael Kay Show. The question being asked is a fair one: why is the player who pushed back the one drawing the most heat? Both men exercised the same right, and that tension is not going away quietly inside that Giants locker room.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
