WNBA and Team USA star A’ja Wilson came under fire from one of her Las Vegas Aces teammates following her gold medal win in Paris on Sunday.

Sydney Colson, who seems like she can’t wait for A’ja to get back, referred to her colleague as “fake” in a social media post, reminding the center who her real teammates are on the back of her successful campaign at the Olympics.

The shot from Colson came after Wilson posted a photo of the U.S. women’s basketball gold medal champions to her Instagram Story and captioned it: “Whatta groupppp.”

Colson responded to the caption via X/Twitter, writing, “Whatta groupppp.” some s**t just fake to me.”

Colson’s tweet went viral on the platform, with most fans aware that it was only a playful shot.

“Don’t let her come back acting brand new!!!” one wrote.

“Big ‘oh those your lil summer friends from your grandma house’ energy…” another commented.

“Syd, we know you not mad. You’re good! 🤣🤣🤣🤣,” a third wrote.

“Don’t worry Syd they’re coming back soon 🤣🩷,” a user joked.

A’ja Wilson Responded To Her Teammate In Kind

A’Ja Wilson has since offered a response to her teammate’s teasing.

“jealously is just love and hate at the same time,” she tweeted.

The Aces teammates will reunite this week and resume their charge for a three-peat this Saturday, with a fixture against the New York Liberty scheduled.

Wilson and Colson are both important players for Vegas and will be crucial to their title defense, though one doesn’t seem like she’ll allow the other to cruise around on cloud nine.

Michigan Wolverines HC Sherrone Moore Provides Major Update On Team’s Starting QB Plans For 2024 Season With JJ McCarthy No Longer Around

Michigan Wolverines head football coach Sherrone Moore provided an interesting update on his team’s plans at quarterback as the regular season draws closer.

The defending national champions will look a lot different this year. Head coach Jim Harbaugh returned to the NFL after accepting the Los Angeles Chargers’ HC vacancy, and Moore was named the new head coach of the Michigan Wolverines.

Michigan will also have a new starting quarterback. Last year’s signal-caller, JJ McCarthy, declared for the 2024 NFL Draft and was taken 10th overall by the Minnesota Vikings.

Davis Warren, Jack Tuttle and Alex Orji are the three front-runners for the starting job, according to Tony Garcia of the Detroit Free Press. Tuttle attempted 17 passes in minimal action last season, completing 15 of them for 130 yards and a touchdown.

With the Aug. 31 season opener against Fresno State drawing closer, Moore stresses that he’s still taking his time deciding on the new starting QB in Ann Arbor:

“The ideal timeline is when we feel like we’ve got the guy who will help us win. There’s not a date, not a time. We will have a feel as a staff…(Offensive coordinator) Kirk Campbell is a phenomenal coach…he will make a great decision and we will be there to make it together.”
