Angel Reese Accuses Former NFL Quarterback of Lying
If you're unfamiliar, the tension between Reese and Griffin likely started after the onetime Heisman Trophy winner said the Chicago Sky forward "hates" Caitlin Clark following an on-court confrontation between the two rivals back in May.
Griffin added fuel to the fire Thursday when he bizarrely brought up the Clark/Reese situation again while ostensibly trying to defend Reese from a racist photo edit h saw online.
In his comments, Griffin alleged that multiple people close to Reese have confirmed her feelings about Clark to him.
"I never attacked her or her family when I stated and backed up with clear basketball evidence that Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark. It's sports. Everybody won't like each other," Griffin said. "People in Angel's inner circle called me and told me I was right and Angel Reese has grown to hate Caitlin Clark because of the media always asking her about Caitlin and being constantly compared to her."
Reese saw Griffin's tweet, and she issued a pretty blunt response calling the former ESPN analyst a liar.
"lying on this app when everybody know the first and last name of everybody in my circle for clout is nastyyyy work," Reese tweeted.
It didn't stop there either, as Reese's mother also got involved. She replied to Griffin's tweet and also accused him of making things up.
"Man stop with the My daughter's 'circle' is so small & tight so I'd be interested 2 know who called U Whomever U say 'called' U is not in her circle 2 speak on her feelings towards a media/fandom made up beef," Reese's mom said. "Just stay on that side bc the doors are closed over here."
It's important to note that we don't have any proof over who isn't being truthful here, but moving forward, Griffin would probably be best served not mentioning Reese's name on social media.
All he's earned by doing so is unnecessary drama.

Lynx star Napheesa Collier exits game vs. Aces with right ankle injury
Minnesota Lynx star and WNBA MVP frontrunner Napheesa Collier left Saturday's road game against the Las Vegas Aces late in the third quarter with a right ankle injury. Collier rolled her ankle while running into Lynx forward Alanna Smith, who, like Collier, was tracking a potential offensive rebound. Collier's right foot collided with the back of Smith's left foot. After getting twisted up, Collier hit the deck. The five-time All-Star forward couldn't stand up at first. The Lynx trainers had her sit back down. But ultimately she was able to walk gingerly off the court and into the locker room under her own power, albeit with an arm around the shoulder a Minnesota staffer. At the time, the Lynx were up 92-49 on the Aces, who had their bench in the game from about midway through the third quarter on. Collier scored just four points during a 67-point Lynx first half that featured lights out shooting from her teammates, including from five-time All-Star guard Kayla McBride, who tied a WNBA record with 8 made 3s in one half. But Collier joined the scoring party in the third quarter when she recorded 14 points, giving her 18 on the day before she went down. Collier, who captained an All-Star team this year, entered the weekend with a league-high 23.8 points per game. This story is being updated.

Byron Buxton looks to be a calming presence in Twins' clubhouse after a flurry of deadline moves
CLEVELAND (AP) — Every time Byron Buxton picked up his phone Thursday afternoon, there was a text message or news ping that one of his Minnesota Twins teammates was being traded. Two days later, Buxton was still trying to take in all the moves the Twins made as the front office made nine trades and turned over nearly 40% of the roster. Even though the All-Star center fielder is on the 10-day injured list with left ribcage inflammation, Buxton joined the Twins in Cleveland for this weekend's series as the franchise's clubhouse leader wanted to be there to provide support and be a sounding board for teammates. 'I mean ,trading nine guys like that is something that's not normal, so it was a little bit of a shock for sure,' Buxton said before Saturday's game. 'Right now, obviously, I haven't processed it. I don't know who has processed it, but something we'll talk about a little bit more at the end of the season.' Manager Rocco Baldelli said that having Buxton on the trip was important, not only for the support that he can give, but also because he remains on track to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday when the Twins are at Detroit. 'Keeping him with our trainers here and being able to get on the field here with the group when he's ready was important, but also the support that he's going to be giving the guys around him. Everybody looks to him, everyone looks to see how he'll respond to things, and he's a passionate guy. He cares about his teammates and his team and guys respect him immensely.' Buxton said he understands that baseball is a business and he anticipated moves were going to be made near the deadline. However, the amount of turnover was surprising. The Twins' most-significant move near the deadline was when shortstop Carlos Correa was dealt to Houston. Correa broke into the majors with the Astros and still has a house in Houston as he waived his no-trade clause. 'It's one of those things where you didn't think he was going to leave but with the opportunity that was ahead of him and just him being an Astro before, it's hard to pass that up in his situation. I couldn't be happier for him and his family. It is what's best for him,' Buxton said about Correa. While there are a lot of unknowns about the Twins as the team remains for sale, Buxton is trying to focus on the present. That includes making sure the new faces on the team can get acclimated quickly as well as trying to make sure the season doesn't spiral too much out of control. Minnesota won the AL Central in 2023, but missed the playoffs with an 82-80 mark last season. The Twins entered Saturday at 51-58 and on a three-game losing streak. 'These guys coming up, I don't want them to look at this as 'I finally got a shot.' You came up here because you want to win and you want to be better. So it's just playing together and having each other's backs is going to be the biggest thing going forward,' he said. ___ AP MLB:
