Chanel shoppers are known to be a discerning bunch, but artist Tom Sachs has created an unauthorized replica of the luxury house's sought-after Paris boutique in lower Manhattan.
Located in Sachs' studio at 245 Centre Street, the phony Chanel store has a sign with 31 Rue Cambon on its front door, and a black Chanel-esque ensemble in one street-front window and a red one in the other. During a pass-by Monday night, the studio's security grates were down and a sign on the front door read, "NOTICE BY ENTERING YOU ARE TO BE RECORDED."
Media requests to Sachs were unreturned.
Although Sachs' outpost has a sign with what looks like a handwritten version of Chanel's proprietary interlocked "CC" monogram, the designer label has not been involved in the project in any way. A Chanel spokesperson said Thursday, "Chanel is not involved in this project, and we did not participate in its conception or development. This is not part of the cultural [programs] that Chanel supports around the world and has no affiliation with Chanel."
Scheduled to open Friday and to run through Oct. 10, Sachs' store will have highly limited access — with hours set for 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays, and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. The artist's body of work includes jabs at consumerism, materialism, logomania and high-low dressing. His Centre Street studio's new faux Chanel outpost is prismatic in a few ways, including the fact that his ****** e is a short walk to Canal Street where counterfeit goods are sold in abundance.
Sachs' faux boutique coincides with the $20 billion Chanel's accelerating growth and shoppers' fervor for fashion artistic director Matthieu Blazy's designs. Chanel hauls have gone viral, thanks to influencers like Elle Ferguson, who posted in March about traveling 30 hours to get the other Chanel bag of the season — the maxi flap bag in shearling. (She already had scored the mini rectangular bag in gold.) TikTokers like Mikayla Nogueira are sharing their much-coveted loot too with followers.
Asked about the potential impact of Sachs' project on Chanel, Luca Solca, global luxury goods ****** yst at Bernstein, said Thursday, "Imitation is the best form of flattery. This seems to confirm how powerful Chanel has grown into our collective perception."
The New York-based Sachs focuses on recreating modern icons with everyday objects like plywood, including Le Corbusier's 1952 Unite d'Habitation with foam core and a glue gun or variations of NASA's ****** ecraft like the Lunar Module. His unyielding tongue-in-cheek career narrative touches on craftsmanship, luxury and nihilism.
In 1998, his notoriety or fame rose with the creation of a Chanel-type guillotine. Along with Chanel, Sachs has also taken aim at Hermès with his art projects including his 2006 Tiffany Value Meal — a riff on McDonalds' "Happy Meal" in Tiffany & Co's signature blue with what appeared to be the company's logo. The New Yorker also dreamed up a Prada toilet and a

In one of the most significant comeback stories this summer, three-time All-Star Ben Simmons is set to make his NBA return after missing the 2025-26 season. Having signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Sacramento Kings, Simmons is gearing up to return to the floor.
Ben Simmons has arguably been one of the most polarizing figures over the past few years. Barring his inherent gifts as a playmaker and defender, Simmons' recurring injuries and tendency to fade in key moments have earned considerable criticism. Despite all this, there is excitement surrounding Simmons' return.
After a year away from the game, concerns about his abilities are justified. On that note, Ben Simmons' godfather and former LSU coach David Patrick joined "The Matt & Kayla Show" to provide an update on the 30-year-old guard. While speaking about aspects of the game that Simmons has focused on before making his return, Patrick shared:
"I think the main thing was getting his back healthy, right? Anytime your back's hurt, everything else everything else falls out of line. And so I think from that he was able to get his body back right. Get his core and back right, get his legs back under him, which he has."
A major reason for Ben Simmons' limited availability was a back injury that kept him sidelined for the 2021-22 season. Although he returned to play for the Brooklyn Nets in the following campaign, he was clearly still dealing with the injury, as his struggles with availability continued.

Tennessee football legend Peyton Manning awarded four UT freshmen with the latest installment of his namesake scholarship and he was on campus to honor the recipients on Aug. 31.
Hector Centeno-Lopez, Breanna Gonzalez, Olamide Olakunle and Mikayla Schumpert, the 2026 Peyton Manning Scholars, earned their four-year award and a spot in the selective Haslam Leadership Scholarship program through a rigorous selection process that sought "academically successful incoming Vols who exemplify service, leadership and integrity," UT said in a school release.
"The growth of this program remains a point of pride for me," Manning said. "This is just the beginning of the positive mark these students will leave on their community and this university. I hope they will leave UT with the same passion for this special place that I have."
Manning is still the most prolific passer in UT football history, having thrown for 11,201 yards over four seasons from 1994-97. The first overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, Manning won a Super Bowl with both the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021.
He endowed the scholarship when he graduated from UT in 1998 and it has been awarded to 69 students in the 29 years since. This year's four Manning Scholars all have diverse academic and career interests but are bonded by a "desire to lead and leave UT better than they found it," according to UT.

A popular co-host of ABC's Good Morning America has surprised everybody with big baby news. Michael Strahan, 54, is now a father of five!
According to TMZ on August 27, Strahan and his girlfriend, Kayla Quick, have welcomed their first child together. Sources for the media outlet indicate that the couple welcomed a baby girl. At this point, neither the baby's name nor her arrival date has been publicly disclosed.
As TMZ noted, Strahan and Quick began dating over a decade ago, in 2015. They kept their relationship quite private over the years, rarely making public appearances together or gushing over one another on social media.
Strahan is already a father to three other daughters and one son. His oldest two children, Tanita and Michael Jr., are Strahan's with his first wife, Wanda Hutchins. In 2024, Tanita welcomed her first child, a son she named Onyx, making Strahan a grandfather for the first time.
The Good Morning America star and former professional football player later welcomed twin daughters, Isabella and Sophia, with his second wife, Jean Muggli.

Michael Strahan is reportedly a father of five!
The "Good Morning America" host, 54, and girlfriend Kayla Quick quietly welcomed their first child together, a daughter, earlier this year, according to TMZ. Strahan is also dad to daughter Tanita, 34, and son Michael Jr., 31, whom he shares with ex-wife Wanda Hutchins, and twins Sophia and Isabella, 21, with ex-wife Jean Muggli.
The former New York Giants player and Quick, who founded wellness supplement brand FIZZNESS, were first romantically linked in 2015. In the years since, they have largely kept their relationship under wraps.
In 2023, they made a rare public appearance together when Quick attended a ceremony honoring Strahan as he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Strahan has been outspoken about his kids in the past, sharing in 2025 that his daughter Isabella Strahan had been diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a cancerous brain tumor, two years prior. She appeared alongside her dad on "GMA" at the time, explaining how she had to have emergency surgery to remove the golf ball-sized mass.

Mikayla Demaiter and Bryson DeChambeau were seen on the golf course together in their first public appearance.
On Tuesday, August 25, an X user shared footage of the couple from the LIV Golf Indianapolis tournament at The Club at Chatham Hills over the weekend. In the video, the pair is seen walking off the golf course as the model, 26, held onto the 32-year-old professional golfer's arm.
Another clip showed them signing autographs before getting into a golf cart and driving off with the two-time U.S. Open champion's arm on the social media star's leg. Demaiter wore a sporty outfit, consisting of a tennis skirt, white tank top, sneakers and a sweater draped over her shoulders, while the athlete wore khakis and a blue polo.

The pair reportedly had a PDA moment at the golf event, as The Athletic reported that DeChambeau "kissed his girlfriend before leaving" on Sunday.

On Monday, the Phoenix Mercury reached a buyout agreement with DeWanna Bonner. Now that Bonner is looking for her next landing spot, several teams can enter the picture and add the two-time WNBA champion to their lineup.
Playing in her 17th season in the league, Bonner can bring veteran leadership, perimeter shooting and secondary playmaking to a playoff contender. Here are five teams that could benefit from Bonner's skill set as they set their sights on the postseason.
There's a possibility that the Dallas Wings will finish at No. 8 and face the Minnesota Lynx in the first round of the playoffs. Ahead of this potential matchup against the likes of Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride, the Wings can beef up their wing rotation with the addition of Bonner. The veteran can provide quality minutes while All-Star forward Jessica Shepard gets some rest.
The Liberty had been banking on Satou Sabally to add versatility to their offense in the playoffs. With Sabally taking a step back from the game after suffering a concussion in late June, the Liberty can acquire Bonner's services to secure another double-digit scorer in their forward rotation.
Bonner would also fit in well with the frontcourt of the Atlanta Dream, who are bannered by Angel Reese and Naz Hillmon. Bonner's length and toughness (as well as her 6.1 rebounds per game) can make the Dream even more formidable on the defensive end when the playoffs begin.

There was a bit of uncertainty going into last season for Woodrow Wilson's perennially contending volleyball team. The Flying Eagles were going to have to traverse the season with the loss of five seniors who not only started, but were among the best to ever play the sport at the Beckley school.
It took some work, but the new stars all meshed and took the Flying Eagles to their sixth consecutive state tournament appearance.
Now, the team is in somewhat of a similar situation in having to replace four talented seniors in all-staters Anya Hasan (hitter/blocker) and Londen Baker (libero/defensive specialist), DS Zoie Vance and setter Makayla Adkins.
"They were all in key spots," coach Bre Rhodes said. "All four of them had a role on the team. To lose players like that, you take a big hit."
Rhodes is carrying nine players on the varsity roster to start the season, but she had plenty of depth — much of it unexpected — from which to choose.

MECHANICSVILLE, Maryland: Lachlan Turner overcame a poor start and charged forward to win her seventh moto of the 2026 season at Budds Creek MX Park in Round 5 of the WMX season.
Turner was well outside the top 10 on the opening lap, but as has been true to form this season, she overcame the disappointing start quickly. She moved into fifth on Lap 1, was third on Lap 2, and took the lead from her principle rival, Charli Cannon, during Lap 4.
From that point on, Turner's victory was uncontested as Turner lengthened the gap in each of the final four laps.
Cannon finished second to keep her perfect streak of top-fives alive and her near perfect record of podium finishes. The winner of Moto 2 in High Point, a victory that also contributed to her overall victory, Cannon has only one result worse than third in nine motos.
In a throwback to the 2025 season when these three riders consistently paced the field, Mikayla Nielsen finished third. She opened the season with a sweep of the podium in the Hangtown Motocross Classic and then had a fuel pump problem in Round 2 at Thunder Valley. Nielsen rebounded to score another podium in Moto 2 that weekend, but struggled since and earned only one more podium in the last four motos.

Kayla McBride was mid-answer when a familiar voice cut through the room, and it belonged to her teammate, Olivia Miles, who wasn't even supposed to be sitting there.
Minnesota had just closed out a 77-66 win over Golden State on Wednesday, and reporters gathered around McBride to ask about her late-game "night night" celebration, Steph Curry's signature gesture, delivered inside Curry's own building at Chase Center. Before McBride could finish, rookie Miles slid into the front row and posed her own question like she belonged on the other side of the microphone.
"Mac, what made you do the 'night-night' celebration after that last three?" Miles asked.
McBride laughed her off first.
"If you were here for the entire thing, I would have already said that," she said, before actually answering. "Steph Curry is my favorite player. You know, obviously in this house, I've been to Oracle, I've watched the Warriors over the years. And, you know, it's just a competitive moment, taking advantage of it. I thought it was a moment that really broke the game. Two minutes left, I think it put us up 11."

Paige Bueckers' heated Caitlin Clark sequence could lead to WNBA fine originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
A one-on-one matchup between Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark ended with a whistle, a heated complaint and a potential fine for the Dallas Wings star. The sequence unfolded during the fourth quarter of Thursday night's game between the Wings and Indiana Fever. After Makayla Timpson secured a defensive rebound, she delivered the ball to Clark, who pushed it up the floor.
Bueckers attempted to stop Clark in transition but was called for a personal foul. The former UConn star immediately disputed the decision and appeared to argue that Clark had used her arm to create separation. The disagreement continued long enough for the official to **** s Bueckers a technical foul.
The technical initially was reported as Bueckers' second of the season, according to Athlon Sports. However, her first technical, issued during a May 22 game against the Atlanta Dream, later was rescinded. If Thursday's call is upheld, it would count as Bueckers' first official technical of the year.
WNBA players are fined $500 for each of their first three technical fouls. The penalty increases to $1,000 for technicals four through seven. An eighth technical results in a $1,500 fine and a one-game suspension, with another suspension following every second technical after that threshold. That means Bueckers could receive a $500 fine following the Clark sequence.

Ketlen Vieira was a top-ranked bantamweight in the UFC ever since she beat Sara McMann and Cat Zingano nearly a decade ago, and stayed among the elite until the UFC decided not to offer her a new deal following a win over Jacqueline Cavalcanti this past May. For Vieira, it's still hard to wrap her head around that"unbelievable" call.
It didn't take long for Vieira to find a new home, signing with PFL to face their featherweight champion Cris Cyborg in the main event of PFL Tampa on Aug. 22. Moments away from one of her ultimate dream fights, Vieira opened up on the "mix of feelings" of leaving the UFC after a decade in the promotion.
"I was already expecting it because usually we renew a contract before the final fight," Vieira told MMA Fighting. "When 'Dedé' [Andre Pederneiras] told me they wanted me to have my last fight, I already found it a little strange and was kind of expecting it. But it was still a huge surprise to me because I've been a top athlete in the division for many years."
"What I'm about to say isn't me being arrogant or anything, and I even apologize for saying it," she continued, "but I'm much better than many of the fighters who are there at bantamweight. It's kind of unbelievable that they wouldn't renew my contract when there are many other fighters there who aren't on my level, you know? But I always put my life in God's hands, and He's the one who decides, and He guided me toward what I wanted, which was a ******* le shot."
Vieira won 10 of 15 fights in the UFC cage between 2016 and 2026, topping the likes of Holly Holm, Miesha Tate and suffering defeats only to the best of the bantamweight division, including future champions Kayla Harrison and Raquel Pennington.

It didn't take long for Vieira to find a new home, signing with PFL to face their featherweight champion Cris Cyborg in the main event of PFL Tampa on Aug. 22. Moments away from one of her ultimate dream fights, Vieira opened up on the "mix of feelings" of leaving the UFC after a decade in the promotion.
"I was already expecting it because usually we renew a contract before the final fight," Vieira told MMA Fighting. "When 'Dedé' [Andre Pederneiras] told me they wanted me to have my last fight, I already found it a little strange and was kind of expecting it. But it was still a huge surprise to me because I've been a top athlete in the division for many years."

The Indiana Fever's win over the Atlanta Dream was full of controversy off the court.
Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever pulled off a thrilling 95-91 overtime victory against the Atlanta Dream recently.
It was Clark who led Indiana with 26 points and nine **** ists, supported by a career-high 20 points from Makayla Timpson and 20 from Kelsey Mitchell, while Allisha Gray dropped 32 points for Atlanta.
The dramatic climax came at the end of regulation when Angel Reese missed a point-blank, potential game-winning layup at the buzzer. And broadcast cameras even caught Clark smirking and laughing in relief in the background right as Reese reacted in frustration, which went viral on social media.
But there was an even bigger incident to come out of the game.

Sophie Cunningham celebrated her 30th birthday on Sunday, turning heads with her pregame outfit. The Indiana Fever greeted with a happy birthday song for her inside the locker room after defeating the Atlanta Dream in a WNBA regular-season game.
She smiled from ear-to-ear while holding a cupcake with a lit candle in a clear plastic container. Lexie Hull and Caitlin Clark stood near Cunningham as the rest of the team sang.

Indiana gave her the perfect gift as the team won its fourth consecutive game 95-91 in overtime. Clark led the way with 26 points, three rebounds and nine ******* ists. Kelsey Mitchell and Makayla Timpson backed her with 20 points each, and Aliyah Boston posted a 16-point, 14-rebound double-double.
Cunningham played 32 minutes but was limited to only three points. However, she chipped in seven rebounds and was a+8 on the night. The Missouri product also provided the team with a lot of energy off the bench.

Angel Reese endured a sour opening 10 minutes in the Dream's clash with the Fever on Sunday.
The three-time All-Star and rebounding maven toiled when matched up against Indiana's Makayla Timpson, seeing shot after shot roll off the rim — or backboard — in a dour display.
Both she and her team would overcome its early-game jitters in due time. But the legacy of the struggles would resurface during a candid — and memorable — exchange between Reese and ESPN's Holly Rowe at halftime. Here's what you need to know.

LAS VEGAS – Aces forward NaLyssa Smith continues to quietly strengthen her Most Improved Player of the Year case.
Despite the defending WNBA champions taking a 92-87 defeat to the league-leading Minnesota Lynx (29-7) on Saturday night at the Michelob ULTRA Arena, Smith — not for the first time this season — trotted off the hardwood with her head high.
Smith did what she was supposed to do, and then some, dropping a 17-point, 12-rebound double-double — on 7-for-13 from the field — with nine of the boards coming on the offensive end. It was her fourth double-double of the year and the third in the last five games.
In totality, the former No. 2 Draft pick was the only real support four-time A'ja Wilson had in trying to combat fire with fire against the Lynx's high-powered offense led by the lethal trio of rookie Olivia Miles, Napheesa Collier, and Kayla McBride.
Wilson poured in 32 points to go along with seven rebounds and three stocks. She went 10-for-15 from the floor and 11-for-12 at the free-throw line. Together, Wilson and Smith shot a combined 17-for-28 FG. The rest of the team went 14-for-41, including Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray going 8-for-26.

For the second time in a week, the Minnesota Lynx defeated the Las Vegas Aces, 92-87, in what could be a preview of the WNBA Finals.
The defeat dropped the Aces to third place in the league standings at 24-12. The defending WNBA champions are now five games behind the top-seeded Lynx (29-7) and 1.5 games back from the Golden State Valkyries (24-9) with eight games remaining in the regular season.
Olivia Miles led Minnesota with 23 points, 8 ***** ists, 4 rebounds and 1 steal. Napheesa Collier followed with 19 points while grabbing 6 boards. Natasha Howard and Kayla McBride each scored 13 points, and Howard snared 11 rebounds. Courtney Williams and Nia Coffey both contributed 12 points, with Coffey shooting 4-of-5 on 3-pointers.
After going into halftime tied 48-48, the Lynx ran out to a 62-52 lead midway through the third quarter on a 3 by Coffey. But the Aces went on an 10-2 run capped by a Jewell Loyd 3-pointer to cut the deficit to 64-62 with 1:49 remaining in the quarter. Coffey then hit consecutive 3s to put Minnesota back ahead 72-64 and two Miles free throws restored the 10-point margin.
In the fourth, Las Vegas closed to within 74-73 with 7:27 left in regulation, but Collier sank 3s on the Lynx's next two possessions to put them back ahead by seven points. The Aces twice cut Minnesota's lead to four points and made it a 90-87 game on a Chelsea Gray 3-pointer with 11.3 seconds remaining. But two free throws by Collier clinched the win.

Ryan Lochte's ex-wife Kayla Reid says discovering that his new fiancée, Molly Gillihan, was someone already in her social circle made the end of their marriage even more painful.
In a new PEOPLE interview, Reid said she and Gillihan had mutual friends in Gainesville, Florida, exchanged invitations and personal advice, and spoke about Reid's marriage as it was falling apart. Reid now claims Gillihan was dating Lochte "behind my back."
The dates have become central to the disagreement. Reid officially filed for divorce from Lochte on March 26, 2025, while Lochte and Gillihan mark April 9 as their anniversary. Gillihan says she did not allow herself to consider a relationship until Lochte was living independently and divorce proceedings had already begun.
Lochte and Gillihan made their relationship public in July 2025 and became engaged in June 2026. Reid and Lochte finalized their divorce on July 1 after eight years of marriage and three children.
Reid said they moved within the same Gainesville social circle and that she uses the term "friend" lightly. According to Reid, the two women traded invitations to happy hours and Mother's Day gatherings and exchanged advice about local schools, career changes and other personal matters. Reid also said she helped Gillihan when she was considering opening a children's café, including offering ******* istance related to real estate.

Unrivaled, the 3v3 women's basketball league, signed two LSU women's basketball players to its "The Future is Unrivaled" class of 2026. Jada Williams and Mikaylah Williams were two of nine players included in an announcement by the league on Friday.
The pair of experienced guards are among the college game's top players signed to the class. Fellow SEC stars Madison Booker and Joyce Edwards also made the cut alongside UConn's Sarah Strong and KK Arnold. Michigan's Olivia Olson, Notre Dame's Hannah Hidalgo and Ohio State's Jaloni Cambridge roundup the group.
Last year, Flau'Jae Johnson and MiLaysia Fulwiley signed with Unrivaled in the inaugural class, which included 14 players. Johnson currently plays for the Seattle Storm in the WNBA after four seasons in Baton Rouge while Fulwiley returns for a second season under head coach Kim Mulkey.
Jada Williams signed with the Tigers and projects to be the starting point guard in 2026-27. She fills an immediate need after Jada Richard departed for Ole Miss. A proven floor general, Williams averaged 15.3 points, 7.7 **** ists and 3.5 rebounds per game with Iowa State last year.
Mikaylah Williams started for LSU immediately upon her arrival to campus. The rising senior plays inside and out on both ends of the court. She averages 15.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game on 48% shooting from the field across three seasons with the Tigers.

NEW BERLIN, New York: Lachlan Turner overcame a modest start to move into the lead on the second lap of the WMX Moto 2 in the Unadilla National. Along with her win on Friday, Turner swept the motos and extended her winning streak to 10 races after going eight-for-eight in the Australian WMX series.
Charli Cannon also had to come through the pack after starting outside the top five. She passed several riders in the opening laps and once she got into second around Taylah McCutcheon for second, she managed to hold the leaders pace.
Mayla Herrick scored her first overall podium in the WMX series with finishes of fourth in Moto 1 and third in the second moto. Her highly anticipated WMX debut in High Point ended with a crash and concussion in Moto 2 after she won the first race.
Jordon Jarvis overcame a modest start in back-to-back races. On Friday, she got some help after multiple riders crashed on the tricky track. Jarvis finished third in that race, but could only manage to climb to fourth in Unadill's Moto 2. She finished fourth after losing the overall podium on the tiebreaker (best finish in Moto 2).
Mikayla Nielsen rounded out the top five in Moto 2.

Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington said that her social media post about White privilege was not about her flagrant 2 foul on Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham on Saturday, but about a desire for "consistency across the board" in officiating, an issue that has sparked controversy throughout the WNBA season.
Carrington had posted "WHITE PRIVILEGE" on her Threads account and tagged the Indiana Fever shortly after her ejection from the game. She was whistled for a flagrant 2 foul after her left arm connected with Cunningham's head and jaw as Cunningham was midair attempting a layup. The blow knocked Cunningham to the floor, but she quickly got up to confront Carrington before her Fever teammate Makayla Timpson pulled her away.
"I've never once claimed that the ****** sment of the foul was White privilege (that was your ****** umption)," Carrington posted Monday on X, in response to commentary from sports ****** yst Emmanuel Acho, who said that the flagrant 2 decision was accurate. He also called her post "ignorant" and "asinine."
"Furthermore, I'm the LAST thing from ignorant or asinine when it comes to speaking on 'white privilege', do ya research on that one," Carrington continued. "I actually went to school, one of the top universities might I add, to educate myself on this exact subject. I would never use that term as a rhetorical weapon knowing the historical and social weight it holds without having the proper evidence to substantiate it."
Carrington, who played four years in college at Stanford before transferring to Baylor, told reporters before the Sky's game against the Seattle Storm Monday night that her post was aimed at the league more broadly. She did not address why she tagged the Fever in her post.

The 2026 WNBA season continues to be a standout one for Notre Dame women's basketball alumnae, as Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride set a new league record Sunday, Aug. 9 for single-game 3-pointers with 10 in a 103-90 win against the Dallas Wings. The victory also helped the 27-7 Lynx become the first WNBA team to clinch a playoff spot this season.
McBride's barrage from beyond the arc moved her atop the leaderboard beyond a trio of fellow former Irish standouts in Toronto Tempo guard Marina Mabrey, Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale and Las Vegas Aces guard Jewell Loyd — as well as Aces guard Chelsea Gray, Atlanta Dream guard Rhyne Howard and Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell — who are all tied for the previous record of nine 3-pointers in a game.

Mabrey joined that club earlier this season during her WNBA record-tying 53-point game in June.
McBride's electric performance also gave her a new career high with 43 points, which places her tied with five others for 18th all-time for single-game scoring performances. McBride's previous season high in scoring was 37 points against the Phoenix Mercury in July, and her best 3-point scoring outburst this season was six, which happened in that same game against Phoenix then against the Seattle Storm just a week later.

The Minnesota Lynx became the first team in the WNBA this season to clinch a spot in the playoffs after securing a 103-90 win over the visiting Dallas Wings, Sunday, Aug. 9 in Minneapolis.
And the Lynx's top players are playing at their very best as the season winds down.
