Hall of Fame members Lauren Jackson and Elena Delle Donne headline a quartet of WNBA legends participating in Friday night’s Shooting Stars showcase in Chicago, part of the league’s All-Star weekend festivities.

Three-time MVP Jackson and two-time MVP Delle Donne will be joined by five-time WNBA champion Rebekkah Brunson and three-time champion Deanna “Tweety” Nolan, the league announced Thursday. The contest begins at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN, Disney+ and the ESPN App.

Each of the retired stars will lead a three-person team alongside a current WNBA player and a standout high school player from Nike EYBL, bringing together three generations in one competition.

Jackson leads a Seattle team along with Storm rookie Flau’jae Johnson and Delle Donne’s Washington team includes Mystics center Shakira Austin. Brunson’s Minnesota squad features Lynx guard Courtney Williams, while Nolan will partner on the Detroit/Dallas team with Wings forward Jessica Shepard.

The high school players — Jezelle “GG” Banks, Ryan Carter, Tatianna Griffin and Morghan Reckley — have not yet been assigned to teams.

Shooting Stars is a timed, two-round shooting competition in which teams have 70 seconds to score as many points as possible from seven locations around the court, ranging from layups to long 3-pointers. The two teams with the most points in the first round advance to the championship round.

Also Thursday, guard-forward Kahleah Copper of the Phoenix Mercury was named as an injury replacement for Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum for Saturday’s WNBA All-Star Game.

This marks the fifth All-Star selection for Copper, 31, who ranks seventh in the league in scoring with a team-leading 20.5 points per game.

Three-time Stanley Cup champion Patrick Kane rejoined the Chicago Blackhawks on a two-year, $16 million contract on Thursday.

The 37-year-old forward starred in Chicago for 16 seasons before being traded to the New York Rangers in February of 2023. He spent the past three campaigns with the Detroit Red Wings.

“Day in and day out for 16 seasons, Patrick captivated the city of Chicago with his dazzling skill, creating some of the most memorable moments in Blackhawks history as he helped bring our storied franchise back to the pinnacle of our sport,” Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson said. “He’s shown on countless occasions that he knows what it takes to win at the highest levels, and we couldn’t be prouder for Patrick to once again call the United Center home and continue to shine in Chicago’s brightest lights.”

Drafted No. 1 overall by Chicago in 2007, Kane has collected 1,400 points (508 goals, 892 assists) in 1,369 regular-season games. He ranks second in Blackhawks history in assists (779) and points (1,225) ands is third in goals (446) and games played (1,161).

He won the Calder Trophy as the league’s top rookie in 2007-08 and added the Hart Memorial Trophy, Art Ross Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award to his collection in 2015-16.

Kane contributed 57 points (16 goals, 41 assists) in 67 games with the Red Wings in 2025-26.

Kane is a nine-time All-Star and the NHL’s all-time leader in points by an American-born player. He and Alex Ovechkin are the only players with at least 40 points in each of the past 19 seasons.

Kane captured Stanley Cups with Chicago in 2010, 2013 and 2015 and has posted 138 points (53 goals, 85 assists) in 143 career postseason games. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP in 2013.

Free agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill still has “no power” in his surgically repaired left leg, 10 months after undergoing two operations.

The eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro selection posted a workout video on YouTube on Wednesday night, updating his recovery from a dislocated left knee and torn ACL sustained in late September last season.

“My left leg is the one that I injured,” said Hill, 32. “I have no power in my left leg, so I’m trying to regain all the power back in my left leg. But it’s one day at a time.”

Hill, who said doctors told him he “might not be able to walk again” after the injury, is seen running and performing a variety of exercises in the video.

With NFL teams starting to report to training camp this week, Hill did not say when he will be ready to get back on the field.

“I ain’t going to tell you what my timeline is, but timeline looking real good right now, man,” Hill said.

The Miami Dolphins released Hill on Feb. 16 in a cost-cutting move after four seasons with the team, making him a free agent for the first time in his career.

Hill caught 21 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown in four games in 2025 before the injury. He has 819 catches for 11,363 yards and 83 TDs in 145 career games for the Kansas City Chiefs (2016-21) and Dolphins (2022-25).
