Mabrey’s 53 points matches WNBA scoring record

June 27, 2026

(AP) — Casual sports fans may not know much about Marina Mabrey. She doesn't garner the national attention of other more well-known WNBA players. But the feisty and competitive Mabrey created a buzz with one of the best shooting perfomances in WNBA history, matching the league scoring record of 53 points in a win over Los Angeles on Thursday night.

Humans and great apes share similar giggles

June 26, 2026

NEW YORK (AP) — Humans and great apes have been giggling in similar ways since branching off the evolutionary tree, a new study suggests. How do we know this?
