Hello, friend

Three weeks from Friday, the WNBA season begins! Let’s go!

With training camp set to begin on Sunday, things are starting to get real… and rookies are cleaning out their closets?!

Here are today’s must-reads:

• Surprise WNBA cut shows the league’s need for roster expansion

• Put some respect on Lynn Williams’ dominance

• The secret to NWSL team success

Now, let’s get to why you opened the email.

🏀 Someone, please buy Aliyah Boston’s electric scooter 🛵

I had to scramble to change this newsletter because it was brought to my attention that the No. 1 WNBA pick, South Carolina and now Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston, is selling her scooter and all of us have a chance to buy it.

The price is $400 and you have to go pick it up yourself in Columbia, South Carolina. But it seems like a steal? In a Twitter verification-less world, I almost thought this was fake!

Since Boston’s in Indiana ahead of training camp it’s unlikely she’ll be the one delivering it to you, though many people in the replies have requested for her to autograph it. Never say never, though.

I have just one request if anyone reading this is the buyer — please take pictures using it. Please brag about having it. Please get it painted in Indy Fever gold or brand it as a South Carolina Gamecocks scooter. You have a wonderful opportunity here.

Also please DM me, Matt Ellentuck, if you do any of the above. Thanks!
