The GIST of It

Hello, 2025!
New year, same sports drama. In this episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz dive headfirst into Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler’s team-issued seven-game suspension, detailing the timeline behind this shocking breakup before sharing their takes on where Butler could land before the February 6th trade deadline.
Then in part two, the gals set up the ultimate pro women’s volleyball primer, digging into the Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF) and League One Volleyball (LOVB) before their seasons start this week. Ready, set, bumpin’ that.
