Washington D.C.: Westbrook suffers ankle injury in Game 2 for Wizards

🏀Wizards: Bradley Beal scored 33 points, but the Wizards were outplayed by the Philadelphia 76ers in yesterday’s 120–95 Game 2 loss to go down 0-2 in the series. Russell Westbrook scored just 10 points before leaving in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. Uh oh.

• The Wiz return to nearly 10,000 fans at Capital One Arena for Game 3 on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET. Home’s best, fewer Sixers fans.

🥎Softball: JMU and Virginia Tech softball (both unseeded) will aim for upsets in the best-of-three Super Regionals. JMU pitcher Odicci Alexander and the Dukes will carry their 27 game win streak (!!!) into tomorrow’s 9 p.m. ET matchup with No. 8 Missouri, while pitcher Keely Rochard and the Hokies face the defending champs UCLA tonight at 9:30 p.m. ET. Work it.

🏀Mystics: Amidst the fervor of Leilani Mitchell making her second Australian Olympic team (the world's second-ranked team behind the U.S.) and Tina Charles posting her third straight 30-point performance, we’re reminded that some things are bigger than ball.

• In the press conference after the Mystics’ win on Tuesday — which marked one year since George Floyd’s murder — Natasha Cloud and Ariel Atkins took no questions about basketball, bringing awareness to the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act instead.

⚽Spirit: The Spirit nabbed a chippy 2–1 win over the Houston Dash last night with goals from the Ashleys (Sanchez and Hatch). First regular season win in the books!
