In the sixth episode released on Thursday, Colson and Plaisance discussed the Indiana Fever guard's rehab, the latest tennis news and more. They also tried to unravel Skylar Diggins' words from a game against the Minnesota Lynx earlier this season.

A video of the Seattle Storm guard was played and they attempted to decipher Diggins' words by reading her lip movement.

"She says: 'It's you, it's you moth******ker, where you at?" Colson said.

Colson added that fans speculated Diggins said another explicit word; however, she debunked it.

"Just so you know, she's black. She's not saying c**t," Colson said. "I thought that was so important to say because black people don't use c**t as an insult when we are talking to people. It's not part of the vernacular."

Plaisance agreed with her co-host and revealed that the insult fans speculated Diggins used was mainly used as white folk slang. Colson highlighted that the Storm guard's comments created drama, which is beneficial to the league, as fans attend games for entertainment.

Colson also revealed that she can already bend her knee comfortably. She is expected to be ready before next season's training camp.
