WNBA Makes Allisha Gray Announcement After Fever's Blowout Loss to Dream originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Indiana had done well to fill the massive void left by Caitlin Clark amid her injury spell, which extended to four straight games on Tuesday. They won two straight games without the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year, but there's no denying that the Fever felt Clark's absence against the Dream.
It was Allisha Gray who led the charge once again for Atlanta in this one, as the two-time All-Star went off for a game-high 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting, six rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block in 33 minutes of action.
Not long after the final buzzer, the WNBA announced Gray as the game's Top Performer.
Gray has kept her foot on the gas for the Dream since being named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week earlier this month. She has been pivotal to Atlanta's success this season, and there are currently no signs of the 6-foot guard slowing down anytime soon.

The Fever, on the other hand, fall to 4-5 ahead of their big matchup against the defending champs, the New York Liberty, on Saturday. It remains to be seen at this point if Clark will be able to suit up for that highly anticipated clash.

Lexie Hull Sends Message About Hidden Caitlin Clark Video
Lexie Hull Sends Message About Hidden Caitlin Clark Video originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Tyrese Haliburton's soaring jumper as the buzzer sounded lifted the Indiana Pacers back in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks. Advertisement With 7.3 seconds left and the Pacers trailing by two, Haliburton dribbled down the court, faded toward the arc and released a high-arching shot that bounced on the rim before dropping through the net, forcing overtime in the 138-135 thriller. Indiana would go on to complete the comeback, but it was Haliburton's buzzer‑beater that cemented his status as one of the league's most clutch playmakers. While Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark was watching from afar, she admitted to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne that she'd videotaped her own reaction to the play. "I videotaped myself, like, the final play and I have my reaction in real time. It's a pretty iconic video. Maybe one day everybody will see it, but no, not right now,' Clark revealed, citing too many "curse words" in her unfiltered reaction. Advertisement However, Lexie Hull, Clark's Fever teammate, wasn't going to let it slide, responding to Clark's comments with, "I have the reaction video. Taking bids now." Entering the WNBA as the first overall pick in 2024, Clark set rookie scoring (769), assist (337) and 3‑point (122) season records, guided the Fever to their first playoff berth since 2016 and earned Rookie of the Year honors. Hull, on the other hand, taken sixth overall by Indiana in the 2022 draft, has carved out a vital role of her own, becoming one of the team's spark plugs off the bench.

Trade Idea Moves Dolphins' Tyreek Hill to Cardinals
Trade Idea Moves Dolphins' Tyreek Hill to Cardinals originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In the immediate aftermath of the Miami Dolphins' final regular season game of 2024, which resulted in the Florida-based franchise missing the playoffs, wide receiver Tyreek Hill made his stance on returning to the team as clear as can be. Advertisement "I'm out, bro," Hill told reporters in the locker room after the game. A move out of Miami has yet to materialize for Hill, who has not made any public statements about wanting to leave since January and attended the Dolphins' mandatory minicamp this week. Bleacher Report's Alex Kay believes that will not be the case by September, as he suggests the Dolphins' front office should field calls with that of the Arizona Cardinals. Kay predicts the Dolphins' return package will include two draft picks – a third- and fourth-rounder in 2026. The financial ramifications of the deal should be incentive enough for Miami to move Hill, Kay wrote. Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (10) practices during mandatory minicamp at Hard Rock Navarro-Imagn Images "Hill's contract calls for him to earn $27.7 million in guaranteed salary this season, but cutting or trading him would result in a manageable dead money hit of just $12.8 million. It would also free up nearly $15 million in immediate cap room," Kay wrote. "With the 'Phins sitting on just $14 million in available cap space — the sixth-lowest in the league — a breakup makes plenty of fiscal sense." Advertisement Kay likes the Cardinals as an ideal trade destination for Hill because it would provide them with a one-two punch at a position the team has not pursued aggressively in the draft or trade market so far this offseason. "The team is on the rise under head coach Jonathan Gannon, going from 4-13 in his first season to 8-9 last year. The receiving corps still needs a jolt, however, as Arizona avoided making any major splashes in free agency or the draft at the position," Kay wrote. "While the Cardinals have a foundational pass-catcher in Marvin Harrison Jr. to build around for the long haul, adding Hill would give quarterback Kyler Murray the weapons he needs to contend in wide-open NFC West races this coming year and over the next few seasons." Hill, who was named to the NFL's 2010s All-Decade Team, has put together a laundry list of accomplishments since his rookie season in 2016. He is a Super Bowl champion, a five-time First-Team All-Pro, and an eight-time Pro Bowler.
