The Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries have left the court just before the national anthem throughout the WNBA Finals, with their absences drawing criticism from all the way up to President Donald Trump, who, during a rally in Iowa on Thursday, urged fans to stop watching the WNBA. The pattern reportedly continued before Saturday’s Game 4 in Atlanta, and many expressed their takes on the ongoing controversy that looms over the Finals.

As Crystal Renee Hayslett was about to take the court to sing the national anthem, cameras zoomed in. Players from both the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries were jogging toward their respective locker rooms.

The Cavaliers escaped with a win Saturday night. They also escaped with a few more lessons about finishing games, something coach Kenny Atkinson would probably prefer they learn without all the drama.

Sixers give LeBron a reason to rest easy LeBron James sat out, and the Sixers still had more than enough offense. That might be the most encouraging part of their 3-0 start.

Milwaukee goes down in the second leg of its back-to-back.

Angel Reese had been one of the biggest reasons the Atlanta Dream took control of the WNBA Finals, recording a double-double in each of the first three games and helping her team build a 2-1 series lead over the Golden State Valkyries. But Game 4 brought a very different performance from the three-time All-Star.

In the latest turn in the relationship between former teammates, Jaylen Brown said Jayson Tatum should "stay ready at all time" while denying the two have beef.

It seems that there’s a misunderstanding as to why the Knicks likely brought Elfrid Payton back into the fold. It has nothing to do with a potential Tyler Kolek trade & everything to do with giving the youngsters in Westchester a veteran leader & traditional PG to make life easier. Nickel, Knecht & Jaden Akins will be getting serious run in the G-League. Dink Pate is also someone the Knicks want to develop. Payton will help with their growth. submitted by /u/Joeblowpublic [link] [comments]
