A’ja Wilson and Jackie Young combine for 50 points to lead the Aces past the Tempo 109-83

TORONTO (AP) — A’ja Wilson scored 26 points, Jackie Young had a season-high 24 points to go with 12 assists, and the Las Vegas Aces beat the Toronto Tempo 109-83 on Monday night.

Wilson went 11 of 14 from the field and Young made four 3-pointers, the last to give Las Vegas a 99-79 lead with 3:39 left in the fourth.

Toronto was without coach Sandy Brondello, who was serving a one-game suspension for an “inappropriate” comment she made about Atlanta star Angel Reese during the Dream’s 111-92 win on Friday. Associate head coach Olaf Lange led the team in Brondello’s absence.

NaLyssa Smith chipped in with 18 points for Las Vegas (18-7). Becky Hammon passed Richie Adubato and Pokey Chatman (134) into 13th place in WNBA history for career coaching wins.

Isabelle Harrison had a career-high 26 points to go with 11 rebounds for Toronto (10-16), which has lost three straight games and seven of its last eight. María Conde had 15 points and eight rebounds, while Marina Mabrey added 14 points.

The Tempo were also without Brittney Sykes (foot), Kiki Rice (ankle) and Nyara Sabally (rib cage).

Aces: At Washington on Wednesday.

Tempo: Play at Minnesota on July 28, following the All-Star break.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Rescue crews in Afghanistan searched Tuesday for survivors and bodies among the rubble of houses destroyed by devastating flash floods that authorities say have killed nearly two dozen people and left more than 100 people missing.

The Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority said Tuesday that 23 people had died, 80 had been injured and more than 100 were missing after floods struck the eastern province of Nuristan on Monday, causing an undetermined number of buildings to collapse. The provincial capital city of Parun was among the areas affected, authorities said.

More extreme weather has been forecast, with heavy rain; thunderstorms; strong winds accompanied by dust and sand; and flash floods predicted in 10 of the country’s 34 provinces, the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation’s meteorology department said Monday evening. The ministry warned residents to avoid riverbanks and other areas at risk of flooding.

Afghanistan is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events, with snow and heavy rain that trigger flash floods, often killing dozens, or even hundreds, of people at a time. In 2024, more than 300 people died in springtime flash floods. Earlier this year, at least 110 people were killed by widespread flooding and landslides in several parts of the country.

Decades of conflict, along with poor infrastructure, a struggling economy, deforestation and the intensifying effects of climate change, have amplified the impact of such disasters, particularly in remote areas where many homes are built of mud and offer limited protection against sudden deluges or heavy snowfall.
