Here’s the latest I can confirm:
- Natalie Sago was announced as part of the NBA’s postseason officiating crew for the 2025-26 season, making her the third woman in league history to work playoff games (alongside Violet Palmer and Ashley Moyer-Gleich). This includes the play-in tournament and the first round of the playoffs for 2026.[1][2]
- Coverage notes her reaction to the news and the criteria the league uses to select playoff officials, emphasizing performance grades, play-calling accuracy, and team rankings.[2][1]
If you’d like, I can pull the most current local reports or provide a quick summary of any notable playoff assignments or on-court moments involving Sago from the latest games. Would you like me to do that?
