Lady Marina Windsor is not your average royal — and she certainly does not dress like your average royal. As the great-great-granddaughter of King George V and Queen Mary of Teck, Marina is somewhat distantly related to Queen Elizabeth II. Marina's grandfather — Prince Edward, Duke of Kent — was the late queen's first cousin. This means that Elizabeth was Marina's first cousin twice removed.
While Marina's connection to royalty is undeniable, it's also not particularly strong. The late queen never considered Marina a member of her inner circle. The young aristocrat has never served the crown as a full-time working royal. What's more, Marina actually forfeited her place in the line of succession as a result of her dedication to Roman Catholicism — the religion of her Canadian-born mother.
The unusual combination of Marina's royal bloodline and her relative distance from the throne has given her a unique sartorial opportunity. While Marina does occasionally have to embrace some royal fashion rules, she also has the chance to push the bounds of what is considered acceptable clothing for women of her rank. By playing with bright colors, floral patterns, and more traditional cuts, Marina has developed a sense of style that defies all expectations. Rather than follow trends, the aristocrat has made a fashion category all of her own.

Nottingham Forest went into last season with high hopes of building on a productive 2024/25 campaign. It would be fair to say that things did not go to plan.
Owner Evangelos Marinakis ploughed through four different managers during a season which nearly ended with relegation to the Championship.
Former Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has now been tasked with guiding Forest back up the table. Given what has gone before, he is on a hiding to nothing.
With that in mind, read on as we ******* s whether Glasner can succeed where others have failed.

TORONTO — The standard 5 o'clock pedestrian traffic of financiers in suits featured pops of red and No. 22 jerseys in the Entertainment District on Tuesday night. The promenade at Scotiabank Arena was populated with even more two hours before tip-off.
The Indiana Fever show touched down across the border for the first time and hit all of its typical beats. The game moved to a larger NBA-sized arena filled to the brim at an announced sellout of 19,300. Fans waited in line longer than even Caitlin Clark herself thinks she would consider. And attention honed in on the visitors, with fans giddy at the arrival of the league's most talked-about team.
"It is a spectacle sometimes," Fever head coach Stephanie White said. "But when it's time to play, it's time to play."
No steam was lost in this trip up north, despite the Fever reaching for another beat they'd rather not. The final minutes were made more scintillating than needed after Indiana allowed a 17-point lead to fade, and Tempo guard Marina Mabrey drained back-to-back 3s to pull within four. It was as close as the game had been since the start of the third quarter.
But the Fever held on, and are now riding a five-game win streak with their magic number to clinch a playoff spot at two. They are playing their best basketball in the recent stretch, led again by their big 3 of Clark (24 points, 7 ******* ists), Kelsey Mitchell (29 points) and Aliyah Boston (16). Mitchell extended her streak of 20-plus point games to 20, tying the league record, but missed the fourth quarter. White said all indications are she "got overheated" in their second straight game played in an arena set closer to the temperature of an actual fever.

Saturday's Red-Blue intrasquad scrimmage showed some of the promise of the 2026 Arizona Wildcats and answered some of the questions, but there were still some left open when the Red team emerged victorious in four sets (20-25, 27-25, 25-18, 15-10).
Red was superior in kills (56-35), hitting percentage (.181 to .109), and blocking (10.0 to 5.0). Both teams had four aces, but they struggled overall on serve.
The initial team lineups were made to be as competitive as possible. Neither team was dominated by presumed starters or returners from last year's team. After the second set, the roster was shaken up where more of the returners and presumed starters were stacked on the Blue team, but that didn't slow down the Red squad.
The Blue team started with Carlie Cisneros and Payton Woods at outside hitter, Britt Carlson at opposite, Journey Tucker and Maya Flemister at middle blocker, Harmony Sample setting, and Brenna Ginder at libero.
Red featured Destiny Ndam-Simpson and Hayden Reeder on the left side, Kennedy Osunsanmi on the right, Mo Siapani at setter, Kristen Dear and Marina Vosloo at middle, and Brookelyn Hatton at libero.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Kayla McBride made a WNBA-record 10 3-pointers and finished with a career-high 43 points on Sunday as the Minnesota Lynx beat the Dallas Wings 103-90, becoming the first team to clinch a spot in the WNBA playoffs.
The Lynx (27-7), who set a franchise record with 18 made 3s, have won 12 of 13.
McBride made 10 of 14 from behind the arc and 16 of 21 overall before she left the game with 1:21 remaining to a standing ovation. The previous mark of nine made 3s had been done eight times by six different players, most recently by Toronto's Marina Mabrey on June 25.
Olivia Miles had 20 points and 13 ******* ists for Minnesota. Napheesa Collier scored 17 and Natasha Howard 12.
The Wings (19-13) have lost three consecutive games and six of their last eight.

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.
In the victory for Minnesota, Kayla McBride broke the WNBA record for most 3-pointers made in a single game by knocking down 10-of-14 shots from behind the arc. McBride, the 34-year-old veteran guard out of Notre Dame, scored a career-high 43 points in a win.
The previous record was nine 3-pointers in a single game, a mark that several players had achieved. Marina Mabrey of the Toronto Tempo and Chelsea Gray of the Las Vegas Aces did it most recently in games this season.
According to ESPN, McBride shot 8-of-9 off feeds from Olivia Miles against the Wings. McBride was also a perfect 5-of-5 from the floor when she was being guarded by Paige Bueckers. McBride broke the record when she caught a pass from teammate Napheesa Collier and fired a 3-pointer from the left corner in front of the Lynx bench.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Lbierty released guard Betnijah Laney-Hamilton on Thursday.
Laney-Hamilton was instrumental in the Liberty's 2024 WNBA championship run.
"We want to thank Betnijah for everything she has given to this organization," Liberty GM Jonathan Kolb said in a statement. "She has been an instrumental part of our success since 2021 and has made a lasting impact on our team, both on and off the court. We're incredibly grateful for her professionalism, leadership, and the commitment she brought to the New York Liberty every day."
Laney-Hamilton played in 126 regular-season games with New York, averaging 12.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.2 ***** ists. She fell out of favor with the new coaching staff this year as she returned from a knee injury that sidelined her last year. She appeared in only 17 of the team's 32 games, averaging 16.8 minutes. She last played on July 12, when she was ejected from the game for tossing a shoe on the court back to teammate Jonquel Jones that hit Toronto player Marina Mabrey.
At home games, Liberty fans would break into chants calling for Laney-Hamilton to play over the last month, including during Wednesday night's win over Seattle.

Shams Charania: Sources tell me that the Wizards and Anthony Davis have mutually decided to table potential contract extension talks and revisit it and wait until they're into the regular season for that and see where the team is at. And one source described it to me as essentially an ability for both sides to allow the first twenty games or so to marinate and allow both sides to get to a decision on whether there will be a contract extension or not. Anthony Davis is eligible for a deal for years, up to two hundred and seventy five million dollars, but there are unanswered questions for both sides.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Janelle Salaun scored 21 points, Kayla Thornton hit two quick 3-pointers and two more early in the second half on the way to 20 points, and the Golden State Valkyries held off the Toronto Tempo for a second straight game, 92-82 on Tuesday night.
Veronica Burton contributed 12 points, eight rebounds and seven ****** ists for Golden State in the second straight matchup of the teams at sold-out Chase Center after the Valkyries beat the Tempo 96-79 on Sunday night.
Thornton took an elbow from Aneesah Morrow to her throat area with 4:27 remaining in the third quarter that was ruled a Flagrant 1 upon replay review.
Morrow made her debut with Toronto after being acquired in a trade with the Connecticut Sun on Friday. She entered with 4:57 left in the first quarter and hit a 3 about a minute later for the first of her eight points to go with five rebounds.
Nyara Sabally scored 22 points and Maria Conde had 17 points and six rebounds for the Tempo, who welcomed back leading scorer Marina Mabrey after she sat out Sunday with a neck injury. Mabrey scored 12 points on 4-for-11 shooting over 35 minutes in Toronto's seventh straight loss and 11th in 12.

A series loss in Cincinnati and yet another injury blow will not deter the Pirates from buying at the trade deadline.
Despite falling a game below .500, the Pirates are looking to add more pieces to their roster ahead of the 6 p.m. ET buzzer, a source familiar with the situation told Pittsburgh Baseball Now.
The Pirates made a notable move on Saturday, when they acquired right-handed reliever Camilo Doval from the Yankees for a pair of prospects. Among the other additions Pittsburgh has made so far this month are infielder Jacob Gonzalez, left-hander Brandon Eisert and right-hander Ron Marinaccio. But it's not yet enough.
This is the second time general manager Ben Cherington has been looking to add pieces at the deadline and not subtract. The other was in 2024, and if the Pirates want to be serious contenders, they can't repeat what they did two years ago.
That year, the Pirates were teetering between buying and selling but entered the deadline a couple games over .500. To bolster its roster, Pittsburgh acquired infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa from the Blue Jays, outfielder Bryan De La Cruz from the Marlins and left-handed reliever Jalen Beeks from the Rockies.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Francisco Giants are suspending payment to injured outfielder Harrison Bader after he aggravated his injured left foot during a scooter accident last weekend.
Bader has been out since late May dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. The team said the injury got worse following the accident early Sunday morning in San Francisco.
"Over the weekend, Harrison Bader was involved in an accident that has delayed Harrison's prior treatment timeline for plantar fasciitis and, unfortunately, his return to the field," Giants President of Baseball Operations Buster Posey said in a statement Friday. "We are still investigating the circumstances of the accident, but will be suspending payment to Harrison until he is able to resume performing services for the club."
Bader signed a two-year, $20.5 million contract with the Giants before this season that includes a $4.5 million base salary for this season. He is owed $1.42 million for the remainder of the season.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Bader was involved in a vehicle collision while riding his scooter around 2 a.m. Sunday morning in San Francisco's Marina District. He was taken to a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Harrison Bader is done for the season due to a foot injury that wasn't helped by a late-night scooter accident last weekend.
Giants manager Tony Vitello told reporters Thursday that Bader is out for the rest of 2026, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic. However, Vitello reportedly said that was already the case due to Bader's pre-existing case of left plantar fasciitis, rather than the scooter accident.
Vitello reportedly said the team was still sorting through the details of that accident.
A report from SFist provided new details earlier Thursday. Bader's accident reportedly occurred at around 2 a.m. on Sunday, when the 32-year-old crashed his scooter into a fire engine in the vicinity of Balboa Cafe, a popular bar in San Francisco's Marina District.

The halfway point of the 2026 WNBA season is here. The All-Star Game is over and the trade deadline looms at 3 p.m. ET, Aug. 2. Teams must now decide if they're going all-in for a championship run or hitting the reset ****** on ahead of next season.
Typically, the WNBA doesn't see blockbuster deals at the trade deadline, but there have been a few exceptions. The Connecticut Sun acquired Marina Mabrey from the Chicago Sky at the 2024 deadline before advancing to the semifinals in the playoffs. In 2015, the Minnesota Lynx picked up Sylvia Fowles — also from the Sky — on their way to winning what would be their third of four championships in seven seasons.
Will a league-altering trade be made this season? That remains to be seen, but it's a fun exercise to speculate.
This week's WNBA power rankings, which publish every Tuesday, are accompanied by trades we think make sense for every team.
Trade target: Sydney Taylor, G, Chicago Sky

The WNBA All-Star Game is a testament to player talents and fan cultures. It's also a good measure of this league's ongoing evolution.
In its first season, the brand-new WNBA didn't even have an All-Star celebration. A decade after that, both All-Star coaches hailed from franchises soon to be relocated or disbanded. Two decades after inauguration, Maya Moore led the field with around 33,000 fan votes. Now cut to 2026, when both Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark exceeded the 1 million mark.
This year's All-Star Game shows how much the W has going for it right now. Bueckers, Clark, Olivia Miles, Dominique Malonga and Angel Reese lead the next generation into the spotlight. They're joined by enduring superstars like A'ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart. Gabby Williams highlights the instant success of the Golden State Valkyries, and Marina Mabrey gets love on behalf of one of this year's expansion teams, the Toronto Tempo. There are twerking mascots and blue-haired goofballs for those with eyes to see them.
Here's what to know ahead of the main event. All times listed are ET.
Venue: United Center — Chicago

All-Star weekend is always a busy couple of days for the WNBA, and this year's iteration was no exception.
On Friday, the Shooting Stars competition and 3-Point Contest occurred—and both lived up to the hype.
There were plenty of worthy shooters involved in the 3-Point Contest, but in the end, Dallas Wings rookie Azzi Fudd took home the trophy. She became the first rookie ever to win the competition. She had 24 points in the first round and then upped the ante, scoring 30 in the final.
Fudd's 30-point performance defeated the Portland Fire's Bridget Carleton, who had just 19 points in the final round after scoring 27 points in the first round.
The four other participants who were eliminated in the opening round included the Atlanta Dream's Rhyne Howard (20), Toronto Tempo's Marina Mabrey (18), Seattle Storm's Natisha Heideman (17) and Golden State Valkyries' Janelle Salaün (19).

Gross margin expanded 530 basis points to 35.7%, driven by a shift toward high-margin, less cyclical revenue streams including brokerage, finance, insurance, and marina operations.
Management attributed the 7% decline in same-store sales to broader industry softness and lower unit volumes, though the company claims to be outperforming general industry trends.
Boat margins improved for the second consecutive quarter as industry inventory levels began to normalize, reducing the need for aggressive promotional activity.
The premium end of the marine market remains more resilient than value segments, aligning with the company's core product portfolio and customer base.

After a long and frustrating journey that no one could have seen coming this season, the Pirates have moved on from their former closer.
Pittsburgh officially designated right-handed pitcher Dennis Santana for ****** ignment on Thursday, cutting ties with the polarizing reliever.
The Bucs acquired reliever Ron Marinaccio from the San Diego Padres in exchange for International Signing Bonus Pool Money and cut ties with Santana to clear room on the 40-man roster.
Santana could clear waivers and return to the organization to pitch in Triple-A Indianapolis.
Santana entered the season as the reliever many thought the Pirates could rely on the most following a 2.18 ERA and 16 saves in 70 appearances last year.

Despite being an All-Star snub, Azzi Fudd will still head to Chicago this weekend to participate in the WNBA's 3-point contest. She'll be joined by the Portland Fire's Bridget Carleton, the Seattle Storm's Natisha Hiedeman, the Atlanta Dream's Rhyne Howard, the Toronto Tempo's Marina Mabrey and the Golden State Valkyries' Janelle Salaun.
As a rookie with the Dallas Wings, Fudd is only shooting 38.8 percent from deep, though she's tied for the 10th-most makes in the league with 50. She's also made at least three shots from behind the arc in four consecutive games, the second-longest streak by a rookie since 1998.
During her senior year at UConn, Fudd knocked down triples at a 44.7 percent clip and finished five threes away from the program's single-season record. Throughout her career, she owned a 42.2 3-point percentage, tied for sixth-best in team history.
The 2026 3-point contest will feature two rounds with five shooting locations around the arc. The first four racks will have five game ******* worth one point each along with one money ball worth two points. The final rack will only have money ******* . The two players with the highest scores in the opening round will advance to the final.
Fudd previously participated in a high school 3-point contest back in 2021, which she won despite wearing a walking boot. While she has proven herself to be more than just a shooter, that's still the hallmark of her game.

New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu has dominated the WNBA 3-Point Contest for years, setting the all-time 3-point contest record in both the WNBA and NBA after scoring 37 of 40 points in 2023. But Ionescu won't be participating at this year's contest in Chicago, meaning bragging rights are up for grabs.
Ionescu, Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride were invited to participate in the 3-point contest, but declined, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.
Toronto Tempo guard Marina Mabrey and Atlanta Dream forward Rhyne Howard headline the field of six WNBA stars set to participate in the 2026 WNBA 3-Point contest on Friday, July 24, which precedes the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game between Team Teresa Weatherspoon and Team Cynthia Cooper on Saturday.
The 2026 WNBA Shooting Stars contest is also taking place Friday at Wintrust Arena.
Mabrey and Howard rank first and second in the league, respectively, in 3-pointers made. Howard previously participated in the competition in 2022, while Mabrey competed in the 2024 event. Dallas Wings guard Azzi Fudd is the only rookie in the competition.
