Aerial Powers tells Andre Iguodala WNBA is done with 'being marginalized' after 'No. 23' tweet

Directly beneath the number on a WNBA player’s jersey is their surname. It would be wise of three-time NBA champion Andre Iguodala to note that.

Iguodala, who is with the Miami Heat in the NBA bubble near Orlando, Florida, tuned in Tuesday night to see the Washington Mystics defeat the Connecticut Sun. But when he turned to Twitter to give a shoutout to an impressive player, he failed to name Aerial Powers and instead used only her jersey number.

Powers, whose Mystics are the reigning champions, took issue with it and started a terse back-and-forth.
