Paige Bueckers' Replacement Turned Heads on Saturday
Paige Bueckers' Replacement Turned Heads on Saturday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Paige Bueckers missed her fifth game of the season for the Dallas Wings on Saturday after being ruled out against the Washington Mystics with a knee injury. Advertisement Stepping in to replace Bueckers in the starting five was fellow rookie JJ Quinerly, who got her first career start after averaging just 7.2 minutes off the bench in 14 appearances this season. Quinerly made sure to take full advantage of her big opportunity on Saturday by going off for a career-high 15 points on 4-of-6 shooting and 6-of-6 from the charity stripe, to go along with four rebounds, four assists and one triple in 33 minutes of action. Quinerly's eye-opening outing drew the attention of the WNBA, which named the former West Virginia star as the game's Top Performer. View the original article to see embedded media. The WNBA's announcement on Quinerly turned heads on Instagram as the fans shared their reaction to the rookie's big game. Advertisement "🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾" a comment on Instagram read. "JJ Quinerly showed up and showed out — what a debut start! 🌟🏀" an X user commented. "She's been this good. 6th Player of the Year in the future," declared another. Dallas Wings guard JJ Quinerly (11) stepped up for her team after starter guard Paige Bueckers is sidelined with a knee injury.© Jerome Miron-Imagn Images "YESS JJ!!! 🔥" a Wings fan reacted to Dallas also naming Quinerly as the Player of the Game. "she cooked tn🙌" another said. "lil dynamite! 🔥" a reaction read. Quinerly, Dallas' third-round pick from the 2025 WNBA Draft, made waves with her performance on Saturday night. Her move to the starting five won't be a permanent one, especially with Bueckers looking to return for the Wings' matchup against the Phoenix Mercury on Thursday. Advertisement Nevertheless, Quinerly was certainly able to turn a few heads with her strong outing against the Mystics, which could just lead to a more prominent role in the rotation moving forward.

Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua: An 'insane fight,' yes, but also a real possibility?
ANAHEIM, Calif. – After going the distance to defeat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Jake Paul made some major callouts. Canelo Alvarez, Gervonta Davis, Tommy Fury, champion Badu Jack, Anthony Joshua and champion Gilberto Ramirez all were names uttered by Paul. But of those possible opponents, there's one big fish that Paul and his manager, Nakisa Bidarian, are looking to catch – and that's Joshua. Advertisement "I think that's the main one that we talk a lot about is, if it's not for the title, it's looking at Tommy if he's reasonable and then Anthony Joshua," Bidarian told reporters, including MMA Junkie, on Saturday after Paul's unanimous decision win at Honda Center. "And he's adamant that he wants to make that fight happen at the end of 2026." Paul vs. Joshua. Or, put another way, Paul vs. one of the top heavyweights of this generation: Can you believe that? While it'd be a stretch to say the fight is "in the works" in the traditional sense of that term, there are definitely wheels in motion. Paul hopes to make that fight come to fruition so he can finally silence his haters, of which they were out in full force to watch his win over Chavez Jr. "That's the criticism: 'Fight someone in their prime who's a beast.' I think people just want to see me lose," Paul said. "That's really what the message is behind it all. Anthony Joshua is an insane fight, but I want that challenge. We've been DM'ing back and forth, he wants to make it happen, he called me up, and it's looking very likely for next year." Jun 28, 2025; Anaheim, California, USA; Jake Paul moves in for a hit against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at Honda Center. Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images Bidarian said he and Paul plan to meet with Matchroom Boxing's Eddie Hearn, who promotes Joshua, about a possible fight toward the end of next year. Advertisement Paul's only fight to take place at heavyweight was against 58-year-old Mike Tyson last November. Suffice to say, fighting Joshua, 35, would be a challenge like Paul's never faced before, which is all the more reason why he wants it so badly. "I'm definitely not a heavyweight, but I'm still gonna take the challenge," Paul said. "But you look at Deontay Wilder, he was beating these guys weighing 215 pounds. Anything is possible. Granted, he's like 6-6 or something, but anything is possible. And so I like the challenge."
