Caitlin Clark can dunk on LeBron James in NBA 2K26
Some sports moments can only happen in video games, like Indiana Fever superstar guard Caitlin Clark dunking on superstar Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James. While that's an improbable scenario in real life despite how amazing Clark is at basketball, NBA 2K26 allows for gamers to pit the two hoops legends against each other to the point where Clark can actually dunk on James. A viral clip from the upcoming NBA/WNBA video game shows Clark dunking on James and even taunting him after the fact. Again, this can only happen in a video game, but what a glorious example of why video games are so fun. Watch this as many times as you'd like! Whenever you play with the Fever against the Lakers, make sure to recreate this hysterical clip. When does NBA 2K26 come out? The game will be released on Friday, Sept. 5.

A'ja Wilson uses fart-based simile to describe forcing wins as Aces extend win streak to 6: "All you get is sh**"
After a tough run in the middle of the season, the Las Vegas Aces are turning things around. The Aces got a big 86-83 win over the Phoenix Mercury on Friday night to extend to a six-game win streak. Las Vegas star A'ja Wilson had another massive game, putting up 30 points and 16 rebounds in the win. And afterwards, Wilson dropped an all-time simile to describe the frustration and newfound patience she's had this season. "And I told myself after (the) All-Star break to just let the game come to me, like it's gonna be what it's gonna be," Wilson said postgame. "If I try (to) force it because I want this win so bad for my team, it's like forcing a fart. All you get is sh**. "I've just really learned to be patient with myself, but also with my teammates," she added. Chelsea Gray, who literally dropped her jaw after Wilson's remark, could only say one thing in response: "That's gonna go viral." Wilson's performance was her seventh 30-point game this season, and her 16th double-double. Her most recent 30-point double-double was last Sunday, as the 29-year-old center put up 32 points and 20 rebounds in a historic showing against the Connecticut Sun. Wilson is currently averaging a double-double, with an average of 22.3 points and 10 rebounds per game, and leads the Aces in most of the major categories, including steals, blocks and minutes played. But Wilson's success also means a lot of pressure on her to lead the Aces' to a win. Las Vegas has only lost during two of Wilson's double-double games this year, meaning that 12 of the team's 14 losses have come on days when Wilson wasn't operating at her highest (though still very high) level — and that no one else on the Aces was able to step up in the meantime. On Friday, at least, Wilson had a little bit more help. Gray put up 16 points and nine assists to flirt with a double-double, while Jackie Young had 17 points, seven rebounds and five assists in the win. Jewell Loyd had 10 points off the bench. Are the Aces turning their season around? The Aces started the season with a 5-5 record, showing off some early issues and prompting some early questions. Though things started to tick up again, Las Vegas then came out of the All-Star break with a couple of brutal games, including a 31-point loss to the Minnesota Lynx followed by another, historically bad 53-point loss to the Lynx a week later. But since that later loss, the Aces have yet to lose. Sure, there was a win over the league-worst Connecticut Sun, but also a win over the No. 2 New York Liberty, a pair of wins over the red-hot Golden State Valkyries, and Friday night's victory over the 19-13 Mercury. After several dominant years and back-to-back championships, there's been a relative slump for the Aces over the past two seasons. But things are going better for Las Vegas as the team approaches the home stretch of the regular season. The Aces are 20-14, ranked No. 5 and well in place for a playoff position; Wilson, a three-time league MVP, looks in fine form again. Plus, Las Vegas has some easy opponents upcoming, including the Dallas Wings on Sunday and a pair of games against the Chicago Sky. It might not be an easy cruise to the postseason, but things are looking up again.

C.J. Stroud's TD pass helps Texans defeat Panthers 20-3 in preseason
HOUSTON (AP) — C.J. Stroud threw a touchdown pass in limited work in his preseason debut to help the Houston Texans to a 20-3 win over the Carolina Panthers on Saturday. Stroud, who sat out in last week's 20-10 loss at Minnesota, played two series Saturday, going 6 for 8 for 44 yards. The Texans punted on their first possession before Stroud connected with Nico Collins on a 5-yard touchdown pass on fourth down to cap the second drive and make it 7-0. Collins is coming off consecutive 1,000-yard seasons after he led the Texans with 68 receptions for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns despite missing five games with an injury. Nick Chubb ran five times for 25 yards in his Texans' debut after spending his first seven seasons in Cleveland. Chubb played with the starters with Joe Mixon out recovering from a foot injury he sustained this offseason. Stroud, who has led the Texans to the postseason in both of his first two seasons, has a new offensive coordinator this year in Nick Caley after the former Patriots and Rams assistant was hired this offseason following the firing of Bobby Slowik. Carolina's Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 draft when Stroud was taken second, failed to move the offense in two drives. He was 0 for 2 and was sacked once Saturday after directing the offense for two drives with a TD pass in last week's 30-10 loss to Cleveland. Andy Dalton replaced him and was 2 of 4 for 22 yards before leaving with a right elbow injury. Rookie Ryan Fitzgerald's 52-yard field goal cut the lead to 7-3 about two minutes before halftime. Ka'imi Fairbairn made a 41-yard field goal just before halftime and added a 35-yard kick early in the third quarter to push the lead to 13-3. The Texans intercepted third-string quarterback Jack Plummer on consecutive drives in the second half. Damon Arnette grabbed the second one and three plays later the Texans made it 20-3 when British Brooks scored on a 1-yard run. Arnette, a first-round pick in 2020, is attempting a comeback after his career was derailed by legal troubles and he played just 13 games over two seasons before being released by the Raiders. He hasn't appeared in a regular-season NFL game since 2021 and last played for the UFL's Houston Roughnecks. Sitting out Carolina cornerback Jaycee Horn didn't play because of a thumb injury and left guard Damien Lewis also sat out because of a shoulder injury.
