The Aces held 'A'One Night' for A'ja Wilson and Bam Adebayo pulled up
A'ja Wilson's favorite Olympian from out of town pulled up to Las Vegas to celebrate the launch of the A'One.
The Aces center's signature shoes officially launched Tuesday, and to recognize the momentous occasion, Las Vegas held a themed night for fans to celebrate with Wilson and encouraged them to wear their A'Ones. However, fans weren't the only ones who pulled up to the Michaelob Ultra Arena in Wilson's unmistakable pink kicks. Several of Wilson's teammates wore their A'Ones she recently gifted them, and even her former college coach, Dawn Staley, made an appearance rocking a sweet soon-to-be-released blue colorway.

No celebration would be complete without an appearance from Wilson's beau, Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo. You just knew Adebayo wasn't missing such a big night. Cameras caught him sitting courtside, cool as ever, rocking his pair of A'One's, which he jokingly said he didn't have hours before.
We can't wait to see Adebayo wearing more A'Ones (perhaps the blue version with the Heat's "Miami Vice" uniform?) very soon.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson could step up in his second season.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson could step up in his second season. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers traded away star wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys earlier this offseason, so they would love someone to step up and replace him in the 2025 season. Advertisement In a recent article by PFF's Ryan Smith, he picks 10 second-year players who could make a bigger impact in 2025 than they did in their rookie seasons. While his case is a bit different, one of the players he picks is Steelers receiver Roman Wilson. "Wilson had a rookie season to forget in 2024, as he suffered an ankle injury in the Steelers' first padded practice... His NFL debut in Week 6 lasted just five snaps before a hamstring injury ended his campaign for good," Smith wrote. "Moving forward, Wilson has an opportunity to step up into a bigger role... Pittsburgh has very little depth at wide receiver behind recently acquired D.K. Metcalf, and the team will need his production to contend in a tough AFC North division." Wilson was not able to show what he is capable of in his rookie season due to injuries, but there is a reason the Steelers selected him in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. In his final season with the Michigan Wolverines, the 23-year-old wideout tallied up 789 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns, and was a key part in his team winning the National Championship. Advertisement Multiple sources have said that Wilson is impressing in Steelers OTAs, so he will be looking to show that promise when the 2025 regular season starts.

📸 Game on? Wilson hands Wales lifeline with crucial goal against Belgium Wales are not down and out just yet! It was a dismal opening 30 minutes for Craig Bellamy's side in their World Cup qualifier against Belgium in Brussels. An early penalty from Romelu Lukaku was followed by strikes from Youri Tielemans and Jérémy Doku as the hosts cruised to a 3-0 lead. Advertisement However, there was plenty of drama on the brink of halftime as Matz Sels was penalised for a foul on Chris Mepham, and Harry Wilson cooly converted the resulting penalty to give Wales a lifeline. Can Wales complete a comeback or will Belgium restore their three goal advantage in the second half? 📸 NICOLAS TUCAT - AFP or licensors

Caitlin Clark injury update: When will Fever star return? 'We're gonna play the long game'
INDIANAPOLIS – Caitlin Clark will not play in Tuesday's game at Atlanta, Fever coach Stephanie White said on Monday. Clark's status for the game, which come just over two weeks after she suffered a quad strain, was previously up in the air. Clark didn't rule out playing in the game in her availability on June 3, but said she would need to be re-evaluated and left it up to the Fever's medical staff to make the final decision. Now, that question has been answered. "Not for tomorrow, no," White said Monday when asked if Clark would be available on Tuesday. Personal touches, secret messages: Behind the scenes of making Caitlin Clark's new Wilson basketballs Clark suffered a quad strain sometime during the Fever's game against the New York Liberty on May 24, though she couldn't pinpoint the specific play it happened. She reported some pain after the game and got an MRI, which showed a strain in her left quad. 'Obviously, adrenaline covers up a lot of stuff when you're in the heat of battle,' Clark said during her media availability on June 3. 'And after the game, I had some pain, and then we got an MRI, and that kind of gave me the result that I didn't want to see. But, you know, those types of things don't lie.' Clark's original timeline was that she would be out for two weeks before she would be re-evaluated, setting her re-evaluation date at June 8. She was evaluated this weekend and allowed to begin some aspects of practice again, White said, but not necessarily cleared for basketball activities at the highest level. "I don't know if cleared is the right word, I mean, she's ready to start ramping back up," White said. "But it's completely different when you're just doing 1-on-1 workouts, and when you're out there in 5-on-5, getting up and down the floor, moving laterally. So she's been allowed to do some practicing, not everything. And we're gonna be smart, and we're gonna be cautious, and we're gonna play the long game." Clark participated in the portion of practice open to media Monday afternoon, which were shooting drills from midrange and 3-point range. They went around the arc as a team, making shots from each corner, each wing and the top of the key. Clark didn't seem limited in that portion of practice, running for rebounds and shooting as normal. But shooting drills are much different than actual practice — both in the amount of contact and the intricacies of it. "It's one thing to do some shooting drills," White said. "It's another thing to get out there on the floor, get back into movement patterns, rhythm, timing, and so that's what part of, you know, picking and choosing things that they can be in in practice, so that we can see their progression." White did not provide a specific timeline for Clark's return to the court. The Fever play at Atlanta on Tuesday, then return to Indianapolis and a have a few days off before playing the New York Liberty on Saturday. No, the Fever star will miss her fifth straight game as she recovers from a quad injury. Coach Stephanie White confirmed Monday that Clark would not play on Tuesday.
