Caitlin Clark wants to sir to pot at WNBA All Star Game
Even off the court, Caitlin Clark finds a way to steal the spotlight
Sidelined with a groin injury she picked up against the Connecticut Sun, the Indiana Fever's standout guard had to sit this one out. Instead of playing, she took on a new role — co-coaching 'Team Clark' alongside Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello.
Clark had some fun with it, trading players and even swapping coaches with Team Collier captain Napheesa Collier. The Fever's Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell also landed on her roster.

But even in street clothes, Clark wasn't about to play it safe.
Speaking on ESPN's 'WNBA Countdown,' she hinted at some sideline antics. 'I think I've got to heckle the refs,' Clark said. 'Maybe I can get a technical or something... maybe even get ejected.'
The All-Star event may have been an exhibition, but Clark was clearly still in competitor mode. And if her track record is any indication, that competitive fire hasn't cooled. She entered the break already with two technicals this season, halfway to her self-imposed goal of keeping it under three. She racked up six in her rookie year.
While Clark generally avoids criticizing officials publicly, her circle hasn't held back. Her coach, family, and even her boyfriend have made comments about how she's officiated.
Earlier this year, she told WNBA legends Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird that limiting technical fouls was a key goal for her in 2025. That's proving to be harder than it sounds.
Even from the bench, Clark can't help but push the edge. And the refs may not be safe, not even during an exhibition game.

Through foundation, Hornets' Brandon Miller hosts 1st Charlotte youth camp
Young athletes by the dozen had help honing their basketball skills at Queens University of Charlotte, with guidance from NBA coaches, players, and a Hornets legend. Hornets star Brandon Miller set to host basketball camp in Charlotte for first time The 'BMill Skills Factory' is a two-day camp designed for children ages 9-14, courtesy of the Team Miller Foundation, a nonprofit founded by Hornets forward Brandon Miller alongside his family. Team Miller also hosts the event annually at his alma mater in Nashville. 'I wasn't thinking it would be like this,' Brandon Miller said of the turnout. 'Me being here in the kid's presence, I think it's a blessing for the kids, just to learn new stuff about the game and learn new things about life.' Hornets legend Muggsy Bogues was among volunteers, along with Hornets head coach Charles Lee, and Miller's college teammate Noah Clowney. 'We're going to make them accountable, focused, but more importantly, have some fun,' Bogues said. 'One of the biggest qualities that Brandon has is his work ethic, and that's what we want,' said Miller's father, Darrell Miller. 'We only have them for two days here, but this goes on for 365 days.' 'This is just not an experience the kids have for now. They're going to remember this for a lifetime,' added Yolanda Miller, Miller's mother. The two recalled how their son was once a young camper, himself, and now among the NBA's rising stars. 'Charlotte is our second home now,' Brandon Miller said. 'Just to see kids show up in another city, another state just to support the foundation, it excites us. It brings us joy.'

Rock Hill High School football team gives back with free youth camp
The Rock Hill High School football team is hosting a free youth camp Saturday, aimed at giving back to the community and fostering a positive culture within the team. Rock Hill High School names new head football coach The camp will take place near District 3 Stadium and is open to more than 100 elementary and middle school kids interested in playing football. This initiative comes after the team faced culture concerns last year, leading to the appointment of a new head coach, Leon Boulware. 'The culture has changed and shifted. The kids are working really hard for it,' said Boulware. He's been helping the teens unite after parents complained about the program and the culture. 'I noticed the kids didn't know each other well, so I took them to the team camp for three days and got away from Rock Hill,' the coach said. The team has a new bond and is giving back Saturday with a free football camp for more than 100 elementary and middle school kids who want to play football. 'These camps are expensive it costs a lot of money and parents don't have money to send kids to these camps,' said parent Brad Basselman. 'On my staff alone, I have three former NFL players,' Boulware said. 'It's important to see they're right here in this area they came from the same background.' The team is expecting changes on the field. 'The goal is to always win,' Boulware said. 'We are going to take it one week at a time.' The camp will be held between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. before it gets too hot.
