Fowles, transactions, Gray foundation, college news

Sylvia Fowles and Chicago Sky standoff:

The Chicago Sky are preparing to move on without center Sylvia Fowles. She and the organization have been at a stalemate since September, when Fowles declined a contract offer. She wants to be traded.

Her agent, Lindsay Kagawa Colas, hasn't returned my requests for comment, either.

More WNBA news:

Lynx rookie Reshanda Gray got a $12,000 donation last week to start a foundation. She plans to start an organization in South Los Angeles, where she was raised.

Dayton forward Ally Malott graduates Sunday, and looks forward to the WNBA.
