Shocked Announcement — Kate Martin Breaks The Internet With The Most…
In a moment no one saw coming, star guard Kate Martin set the basketball world abuzz with a stunning midnight announcement which blew up social like a championship scoreboard buzzer.
And then at exactly 12:01 a.m., Martin went on Instagram Live — no warning, no teaser — and released the kind of news that upended fan assumptions in one swift turn.
After a late-night whirlwind that left the basketball Twitter community in an uproar, WNBA guard Kate Martin is here to put an end to the speculation regarding her mythical transfer to LSU — a transfer that, as a reminder, was never real.
It all began with a fan-made tweet that went viral, saying Martin had posted a “midnight announcement” on the way that he was coming back to college so he could play for LSU. Within hours, the internet had taken the bait and spun up theories and “confirmations” that had absolutely no basis in fact.
On Monday morning, Martin took to X (formerly Twitter) to set the record straight in classic Kate candor — honest, direct, and all heart.
“Y’all, I wake up to the wildest shit 😂 I am not transferring to LSU. I’m never going back to college. I’m proud to be right here where I am. 100% locked in. Let’s keep it movin’.”
That team is, of course, the Las Vegas Aces, where Martin has been making a name for herself as a reliable, high-IQ player who plays with some serious veteran energy — as a rookie.
Fans immediately rallied behind her. Responses came in that commended her loyalty and highlighted the ridiculousness of the rumor. “This is why we love you, Katereal one through and through,” one user commented.
If the rumor accomplished anything, it was to remind fans exactly how much they appreciate Martin’s presence — on the court and off of it. And if she’s staying put? The Aces just added an even more powerful voice in their locker room.
