(AP Photo/Michael Conroy) INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Caitlin Clark wasn't going to miss the NBA Finals, taking a baseline seat to cheer on the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night. The WNBA star — wearing a yellow T-shirt emblazoned with the famed 'In 49 other states it's just basketball. But this is Indiana' saying along with a finals logo — was seated with Indiana Fever teammates Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard for the game, in the same end of the floor as the Pacers' bench. Advertisement The Pacers were taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. It was the first Indiana home game in the NBA's title series since 2000. Among the other Indiana basketball royalty at the game: Hall of Famers Oscar Robertson and Reggie Miller, both seated near the court as well, along with Mark Jackson, Dale Davis and many other former Pacers. Former Indianapolis Colts star Edgerrin James also was among those in the crowd. And plenty of auto racing stars were at the game as well — including Alex Palou, the winner of this year's Indianapolis 500. He arrived for the game in a pace car from Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which was lit up in gold for the evening as a Pacers tribute. Clark and the Fever have been regular attendees at Pacers games during this playoff run when their schedule allows. The Fever don't play again until Saturday, at home against the defending WNBA champion New York Liberty. Clark has been sidelined with a thigh injury, but it's possible she returns to the lineup on Saturday. ___ AP NBA:

The Cleveland Guardians continue their series against the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers Saturday, May 24. The Guardians are looking to make up ground against the division rival Tigers, who've made another leap this season to be considered among the best teams in the American League (if not the outright favorite to have the AL's best record by season's end). Advertisement Winning games against Detroit would be huge for the Guardians as far as the standings go. Here's how fans can tune in to the national TV broadcast. How to watch the Guardians at Tigers game on TV The May 24 showdown between these division rivals will be televised on FOX. Fans can stream the game via with a valid login. MLB TV customers can watch through the app like normal, but blackout restrictions apply for in-state fans. Is the Guardians vs Tigers game on FanDuel Network today? No. Because the game is on national television it will not air on FanDuel Network locally. Who are the projected starters for the Guardians at Tigers game? May 11, 2025; Cleveland, Ohio, USA; Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Luis Ortiz (45) throws a pitch during the fourth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies at Progressive Field. Mandatory Credit: Ken Blaze-Imagn Images Righty Luis Ortiz is projected to be the Guardians starter May 24 against Detroit. After a rough start to the year, Ortiz has pitched better lately, although Cleveland has lost all three of the games he's started in May at the time of writing. Advertisement In his most recent start against the Cincinnati Reds May 18, Ortiz went five innings allowing two runs on six hits while striking out seven and allowing two walks. Guardians news: 'We're fun': Guardians manager Stephen Vogt intrigued with 'a very different team' Right-handed pitcher Casey Mize will take the hill as the starter for Detroit. Mize, a former No. 1 overall draft pick, is coming off the IL to make his return to the mound after dealing with a hamstring injury. With a 6-1 record to accompany a 2.53 ERA across seven starts this season, Mize appears to have finally harnessed his potential as a former top draft pick.
