How to watch New York Liberty vs Indiana Fever: TV/stream info, preview, tip off time
The undefeated New York Liberty — the reigning WNBA champions — face off against the Indiana Fever in a Commissioner's Cup matchup this Saturday, June 14, at 3:00 PM ET. New York won its last contest against the Fever, 90-88, on May 24. The New York Liberty improved to 9-0 — its best start in franchise history — after defeating the Chicago Sky 85-66 on Tuesday at home. Sabrina Ionescu finished with 23 points, 7 assists, and 4 steals in the win, while Breanna Stewart added 18 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists. Kennedy Burke became just the fifth player in WNBA history to shoot 100% from three-point range on more than three attempts in back-to-back games. She finished with 15 points, three of which were three-pointers. Burke is in her second season with the Liberty. Tonight, Kennedy Burke became one of only 5 players in @WNBA history to shoot 100% from beyond the arc on more than three attempts in consecutive games, joining Catherine Kraayeveld (as the only other NYL player to do so), Jennifer Azzi, Briann January, and Alysha Clark. 'I had a great conversation with Kennedy in the offseason about what her role would look like, and this is exactly what I imagined. We have confidence in her,' said Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello. 'She's looking good, feeling good, and knowing that her players trust her out there.' Sabrina Ionescu with the no-look DIME to Kennedy Burke, and the Liberty lead by 20 PTS! 🔥 CHI-NYL on ESPN | WNBA Commissioner's Cup presented by @coinbase The Indiana Fever fell 77-58 to the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday night on the road. Natasha Howard finished with a team-high 15 points and 10 rebounds in the loss. It was the team's fifth straight game without Caitlin Clark, who is out with a left quadriceps strain. Her last appearance was on May 24 against the Liberty. However, the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year could return soon. 'We're ready to start ramping back up … It's completely different when you're just doing one-on-one workouts than when you're out there in five-on-five, getting up and down the floor and moving laterally,' said Indiana head coach Stephanie White. "[Clark's] been allowed to do some practicing, not everything. We're going to be smart and we're going to be cautious and we're going to play the long game and work her back in, very intentionally.'

Kris Moutinho opens up on dark time after UFC release: I was close to 'ending it all'
Kris Moutinho opens up on dark time after UFC release: I was close to 'ending it all' ATLANTA – Kris Moutinho had very dark thoughts after his original stint in the UFC ended. Moutinho (14-6 MMA, 0-2 UFC) made his UFC debut on short notice against former bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley in July 2021. He lost the fight by third-round TKO at UFC 264 but earned a Fight of the Night bonus for his effort, which made him a fan favorte. But Moutinho would receive his walking papers after getting finished by Guido Cannetti in the first round at UFC Fight Night 203. That's when things took a really bad turn for the 32-year-old. "I went through a really bad time with relationships, with everything else," Moutinho told MMA Junkie and other reporters during Wednesday's UFC on ESPN 69 media day. "My life was just a mess. I was very close to ending this thing, ending it all and being done. "I don't want to talk too much about it, but it was a bad time, one of the worst times in my life. I found the girl I'm with now, my beautiful girlfriend. She saved me, saved my life, helped me find God a lot better, and I'm just in a better place." Moutinho has been given a second chance in the UFC after putting together a five-fight winning streak. However, the opportunity will come on short notice once again, and it'll be against undefeated Malcolm Wellmaker (9-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) on Saturday's UFC on ESPN 69 (ESPN, ESPN+) prelims at State Farm Arena. Despite the far-from-ideal circumstances, Moutinho insists he's at peace. "I feel like I'm where God put me, where I'm supposed to be," Moutinho said. "I feel like this is the guy that should have been here in 2021, the guy that is mentally focused, enjoys this stuff again. Then, I was just kind of going through the motions, and I was happy to be here, but I was kind of just happy to be here. I'm not that guy no more. I don't care. I'm coming to kill. I'm coming to knock him out. He has to kill me to get me out of there."
