During the fourth quarter of the game at Michelob Ultra Arena, Kate Martin blocked a shot by Sparks center Li Yueru to save two points for the home team. The Aces would squeak out an 89-82 victory to improve to 2-0.

Here’s the video of Martin’s highlight reel play:

And here’s an epic shot from a photographer of Plum’s reaction to the block:

This image of Plum and Martin quickly went viral and garnered plenty of awesome reactions on social media:

The Aces selected Kate Martin in the second round (18th overall) in last month’s 2024 WNBA Draft. Martin and Caitlin Clark (the first overall pick to the Indiana Fever) helped the Iowa Hawkeyes to consecutive national championship game appearances in 2023 and 2024 which they lost to LSU and South Carolina, respectively.

In Saturday’s victory against Los Angeles, Martin played 26 minutes and tallied three points, five rebounds and three assists to go along with her block.

Las Vegas continues their four-game homestand with another contest against Phoenix on Tuesday before welcoming Clark and the Fever next Saturday.

Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce all but confirmed that he’ll never come out of retirement after revealing a remarkable offseason body transformation.

Though he was still at the top of his game last year, Jason Kelce decided to hang up the cleats on his illustrious career that will lead to a spot in the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.

Because Kelce was playing at a high level in his age-36 season, many fans can’t help but wonder if he’d come out of retirement and return to the Eagles — especially if they’re in Super Bowl contention.

But during an interview with the Associated Press, Jason Kelce made it clear that a comeback is not happening. Kelce cited that the Eagles won’t be calling him back after his drastic offseason weight loss:

“They’re not going to call me to come back and play center at 260 pounds, and I’m moving on to the next thing and I’m excited to watch Cam (Jurgens). I really think Cam is going to be tremendous this year. He’s going to really show people how great of a player he is.

He was good for us last year at right guard and he’s going to flourish at center. And for me personally, my days of playing are just done and I do not foresee any scenario taking place other than maybe medicine inventing a way to get rid of arthritis that I would ever entertain coming back at all anymore.”
