The Dallas Wings have signed Kaila Charles and Haley Jones to hardship contracts, the team announced Tuesday. Both players are expected to be available for the Wings' game on Tuesday night against the Golden State Valkyries.

The news comes after it was revealed that Maddy Siegrist will miss a significant amount of time with a knee injury. Siegrist is expected to return later this season, but her official injury timeline has yet to be revealed.
Tyasha Harris will miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury. Luisa Geiselsoder and Teaira McCowan are currently away from the Wings while they participate in EuroBasket.
The Wings qualified for hardship contracts amid all of the absences. Dallas is hopeful that Charles and Jones can positively impact the team.
Charles played 11 games with Dallas before getting waived on Saturday. She will now receive another opportunity with the Wings with the hardship contract. Charles has averaged 4.9 points and 3.5 rebounds per outing so far this season. The 27-year-old brings versatility to the roster at 6'1″.

Jones also offers versatility. The 6'1″ 24-year-old can play the guard or forward positions. She appeared in four games with the Phoenix Mercury in 2025 before the team headed in a different direction. Jones averaged 2.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game during that span.
The Wings will enter play on Tuesday night with a 1-11 overall record. Dallas could still turn things around, but the team certainly needs to begin winning games as soon as possible. The absences of four impactful players obviously won't help matters, but perhaps Kaila Charles and Haley Jones will make a difference for the short-handed Wings.
The Valkyries are 5-5 so far in 2025. Golden State will present a challenge as Dallas hopes to earn a big victory at home. Tuesday night's tip-off is scheduled for 8 PM EST in Arlington, TX.

Lightning Lose Defenseman To Western Conference Club
Nick Perbix's time with the Tampa Bay Lightning has officially come to an end. After hitting the market as an unrestricted free agent (UFA), Perbix has signed a two-year, $5.5 million contract with the Nashville Predators. It was confirmed shortly before the start of free agency that Perbix would become a UFA. Now, he has found his new home and will look to help the Predators get things back on track from here. Advertisement Perbix, 27, spent each of the last three seasons with the Lightning. In 220 games as a Bolt, he recorded 13 goals, 50 assists, 63 points, and a plus-27 rating. This included six goals, 19 points, and a plus-8 rating in 74 contests this past campaign. When looking at the Predators' roster, Perbix should be a solid addition to their group. It was no secret that they needed help on their right side, and Perbix should be a nice fit in their top four because of it.

Cowboys 'Should Be In Playoff Mix,' Insists National Media Prediction
Cowboys 'Should Be In Playoff Mix,' Insists National Media Prediction originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One of the hardest things to do right now is predict how the 2025 season will go for the Dallas Cowboys. Advertisement Yes, we aren't even in Oxnard yet, but some have already given their take on what the year might look like. Colin Cowherd believes the Cowboys will be humiliated every week, while others, like Ryan Clark, think Dallas and Dak Prescott don't have any excuses in 2025 - a deep playoff run is what is needed. I'm of the belief that if Dallas makes the playoffs under Brian Schottenheimer and can sneak a win, that's a successful season. And for Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer, despite the Micah Parsons distraction, the Cowboys should be playoff-bound. "Another year, another simmering contract situation for the Cowboys," Breer wrote. "The Micah Parsons negotiation will be front and center when the team lands in Oxnard, Calif., for training camp. That said, I think their new head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, is a good fit to handle it, given the culture he's started to build and will be a better fit in the role than people might expect. If young linemen Tyler Guyton, Cooper Beebe and Tyler Booker come along, Dallas should be in the playoff mix." Dallas Cowboys' Brian Schottenheimer and Jerry Jones.© Tim Heitman-Imagn Images The offensive line, although revamped, has some question marks, especially regarding Tyler Guyton's improvement and how Tyler Booker will adapt to the rigors of NFL football. Advertisement The run game, with Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams (possibly Jaydon Blue), looks to be better than what Dak Prescott had last year, and then we have the George Pickens addition to help CeeDee Lamb and the passing game. Add all of that together, and with the injury bug that tore through the team last season staying away, the Cowboys should be up to their eyeballs in the NFC East race. Will they win it? Who knows, but you don't have to win the division to make the playoffs. And that might be what awaits Schottenheimer's Cowboys in 2025.

Sergio Scariolo to end long tenure as Spain men's basketball head coach
Sergio Scariolo plans to step down as Spain's men's basketball head coach after this summer's EuroBasket, ending a run that included the last four Olympics. Scariolo, a 64-year-old Italian, coached La Roja from 2009-12 and also since 2015 through the end of the nation's golden generation. With plays like brothers Pau and Marc Gasol, plus Ricky Rubio, he guided Spain to Olympic silver and bronze medals in 2012 and 2016 and the FIBA World Cup title in 2019, plus four European Championships. In 2012, 2016 and 2021, Spain lost to the U.S. in the Olympic playoff rounds by an average margin of nine points. Spain was eliminated in the group stage in Paris, its first Olympics without the retired Pau Gasol since the 2000 Sydney Games. 'My first words are to thank Sergio for all his commitment to the national team,' Spain basketball federation president Elisa Aguilar said in a press release, according to a translation. 'Five golds, one silver, and two bronzes define Sergio's role in these 15 years. He has known how to improve the performance of our players and has always shown a comprehensive vision of our sport, involved in player development, and has been a visionary. anticipating all the problems we could have. 'Although we still have time together, I want to thank you for creating that competitive capacity of our team. When he told me the final moment had arrived, it wasn't good news, but I understood that he had earned the power to decide when to leave the national team's bench. He is the best coach of all time, the one who has given us the most and best wins.' Kurt Helin,
