It's Kira's block party, and you cannot get innnn ❌ Shakira Austin gets the early DENY inside! WAS-CHI | League Pass | Via @WNBA on X

What happened: The denial came as part of the 2026 postseason push slate. It follows an August run that included Austin powering through the lane for two.

Why it matters: Early rim stops ease foul pressure on help defenders.

What to watch: Watch whether interior attempts shift outside the rest of the way.
