New Indiana Fever Player Sends Clear Message Amid Caitlin Clark's Injury
New Indiana Fever Player Sends Clear Message Amid Caitlin Clark's Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever are amid a three-game losing streak and have started their 2025 WNBA season with a 2-4 record. However, the franchise is dealing with some other concerns. Advertisement All-WNBA guard Caitlin Clark suffered a left quad strain in a May 24 loss to the New York Liberty, leaving her out for at least two weeks. Fellow guards Sydney Colson (leg) and Sophie Cunningham (ankle) were both injured during Friday's loss as well. With Indiana short on guards for the foreseeable future, the Fever have signed guard Aari McDonald via emergency hardship exception. This allows any team to sign a player if it drops below 10 game-eligible players. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin ClarkBrett Davis-Imagn Images Out of Arizona, McDonald was selected third overall with the No. 3 pick in the first round of the 2021 WNBA Draft. After spending her first three seasons with the Atlanta Dream, McDonald was traded to the Los Angeles Sparks in 2024. For her career, she averaged 8.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. Advertisement McDonald took part in her first practice with the Fever on Monday. Afterward, when asked what it's like to join Indiana, McDonald shared her thoughts. "Very anxious, like it felt weird sitting at home just watching the game this time of the year," McDonald said. "But when I got the call, I was very blessed. It's a humbling experience to join a team like the Fever. I'm just excited and ready to compete and just win.' The Fever will face the Washington Mystics on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. ET, and coach Stephanie White believes McDonald will have to play. "Yeah, I mean she's got to play," White said. "She's brought in here to play, to handle the ball. We'll do a good job of keeping it simple for her. But she's a player and this is what she does."

Man Stabs 12 in Spree at Oregon Homeless Shelter, Police Say
A man went on a stabbing spree at a homeless shelter in Salem, Ore., on Sunday, injuring 12 people — five seriously — before he was arrested near the facility, the authorities said. The man, Tony Latrell Williams, 42, of Bend, Ore., was talking with several people in the lobby of the facility, Union Gospel Mission, when he took out a knife and began stabbing people, the Salem Police Department said in news release. The victims ranged in age from 26 to 57, the police said. They said that two victims were staff members, and the 10 others were either guests at the shelter or were just outside the facility. Five of the victims, all men, remained hospitalized on Monday, the police said. The attack did not appear to have been targeted, though the investigation was continuing, the police said. Mr. Williams was arraigned on Monday on one count of attempted murder and 11 counts of second-degree assault, said Brendan P. Murphy, the chief deputy district attorney for Marion County, Ore. He did not enter a plea because he did not have legal representation, Mr. Murphy said. Mr. Williams is being held without bail at the Marion County Jail pending his next court appearance, set for June 9. Mayor Julie Hoy of Salem said in a statement it was not yet clear why the attack 'happened in our community.' 'We do know that this is a tragedy for the 12 victims and their families, the Union Gospel Mission community and Salem,' Ms. Hoy said. 'Today, we are praying for strength and peace for all victims and their families.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
