WNBA players safe after Turkish terrorist attack

If you were online last night, you saw the news leak of the Istanbul nightclub terror attack. Thankfully, WNBA players near the scene are all safe and accounted for:

A handful of WNBA players, including Essence Carson, Chelsea Gray and Jantel Lavender of the Los Angeles Sparks, were next door to a deadly shooting in a nightclub in Istanbul early Sunday morning.

The league later issued a statement that all WNBA players competing now in Istanbul "are accounted for and safe."?About two dozen WNBA players are in Turkey during their offseason playing in a league there.
