With record crowd watching, Sky get blown out by Fever in first WNBA game at United Center
CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Sky coach Tyler Marsh recalled working the 2020 NBA All-Star game at the United Center when he was an assistant with the Toronto Raptors. He mentioned that his first experience at a WNBA All-Star game was also in Chicago — two years later at Wintrust Arena. 'It's been cool moments,' Marsh said. There was another big one on Saturday night. Though the Sky got blown out by Indiana 79-52, it was the first WNBA game at the United Center. 'It's an incredible moment for this league," said Marsh, in his first season coaching the Sky. "It's an incredible moment for our team and our staff and our city, really. I think that's the cool part about it is we get to represent our city in this building on a historic night. It's not lost among us how important and significant it is — and for myself to be part of that and to represent the W in that capacity, to represent the Sky in that capacity, is something that I don't take for granted.' A matchup that got moved from the smaller Wintrust Arena and was supposed to feature two of the league's brightest young stars in Chicago's Angel Reese and Indiana's Caitlin Clark didn't play out as envisioned. The Fever rolled over the Sky for the second time this season. And they did it without the injured Clark. The 2024 Rookie of the Year missed her fourth straight game because of a quad issue and watched the primetime, nationally televised game from the sideline. That had to be a bummer for the fans who showed up wearing Clark jerseys. The enthusiastic crowd of 19,496 surpassed Chicago's previous high of 16,444 in 2016 at Allstate Arena in suburban Rosemont, though tickets weren't hard to find. They were listed on StubHub for as little as $9 a few hours before tipoff. By comparison, when Clark and Reese played their first game in Chicago last season, courtside seats at Wintrust Arena were going for $5,000 on Ticketmaster an hour before tipoff. That game drew the celebrities, with Chicago native Chance The Rapper, comedian Jason Sudeikis and New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson in the sellout crowd along with Pro Basketball Hall of Famer Cheryl Swoopes. Even so, this was a big night. And the significance of playing at the United Center wasn't lost on the players and coaches. The Sky and Fever will meet again at the home of the NBA's Bulls and NHL's Blackhawks on July 27. 'We just continue to make milestones for women,' Reese said. 'Women belong here. I think this is gonna be the first of many. Obviously, we have two here this year. But we could continue to see this — and all our games at NBA arenas.' Reese and Clark have helped carry the league to new heights in popularity after taking their rivalry from LSU and Iowa to the pros. They brought the style and swagger that captivated the nation when they were going at it in college and spurring debates about sport and society. But the night wasn't just about them. 'It just shows how much women's basketball is growing, and it's amazing to see it,' said Sky center Kamilla Cardoso, another young star. For Fever assistant Austin Kelly, who was filling in with coach Stephanie White missing the game for personal reasons, playing at the United Center brought back memories of watching the Bulls during the Michael Jordan-Scottie Pippen dynasty. 'I was born in '89,' he said. 'I played AAU basketball. We were on the road, me and my teammates were crammed into hotels — the Days Inn or whatever it was — watching them in June. A lot of memories of watching Jordan, watching the Bulls growing up. I think they were everyone's favorite team, especially youngsters like us growing up in the '90s.' Marsh said Sky player-development coach Aaron Johnson, who's from Chicago, had this game circled on his proverbial calendar. 'Since it got announced that we would be playing this game, it was something that he really got emotional about. Not to put him on Front Street, but this is a building that he grew up idolizing and sitting in the nosebleeds, and going from that to being able to step on the floor, those are the types of moments that you can't really put a price on," Marsh said. You take those experiences for what it is and it comes with the moment, but also, you're extremely excited for our players to be a part of that as well.' ___

Fantasy baseball: Stashing prospects can be solid strategy — but don't bank on it
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Prospect fever is real. Every season, fantasy baseball managers scour minor league boxscores and prospect rankings in hopes of discovering the next big breakout star before anyone else. Though this strategy can pay off, stashing rookies on your fantasy roster is trickier than it seems — especially when roster spots are limited and immediate playing time isn't guaranteed. Talent alone isn't enough, opportunity is just as important. Take, for instance, top prospect Matt Shaw. He is loaded with upside, but what makes him an appealing stash is his clear path to at-bats. An infielder in the Cubs organization, Shaw has surged through the system and is knocking on the door with little in his way at second base or third, depending on team needs. Matt Shaw hits a single in the ninth inning of the Cubs' road loss to the Nationals on June 5, 2025. AP When a rookie's timeline aligns with organizational need, stashing makes sense — even if the player is not on the roster yet. Nevertheless, many prospects, even those producing elite numbers in Triple-A, are stuck behind established big leaguers. Case in point: Jordan Lawlar. Lawlar, one of the most talented young infielders in the game, is raking at Triple-A Reno. His numbers are fantasy gold — .339/.419/.583 with seven home runs, 37 RBIs and 13 stolen bases. But there is one big problem: There is no room for him in Arizona's infield. Ketel Marte is an All-Star at second, Geraldo Perdomo is quietly excelling at shortstop, and Eugenio Suárez remains a productive veteran at third. Lawlar's recent eight-game MLB call-up underscored the issue — he barely saw the field and was quickly sent back to the minors. As long as the Diamondbacks remain healthy and competitive, Lawlar's fantasy impact will remain limited — regardless of how ready he looks in the minors. Roman Anthony runs to first base during a Red Sox spring training game against Mexico's Sultanes on March 24, 2025. AFP via Getty Images Another prime example is Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony. The 20-year-old is drawing attention with his high OBP and emerging power — .291/.422/.485 with nine homers and three steals at Triple-A Worcester. From a raw talent perspective, Anthony looks like a future star. But Boston's outfield is crowded. Ceddanne Rafaela is a regular in center field, Wilyer Abreu is playing well in right, and Jarren Duran has secured left field. Unless the Red Sox make a trade, shift Rafael Devers to first base (which opens up the DH spot or third), or move Rafaela to shortstop (pushing Trevor Story off the field), there is no room for Anthony to see regular big league at-bats. In redraft leagues, wasting a roster spot on a stash with no clear timetable for promotion is dangerous. Roster flexibility is critical, especially during the long grind of the fantasy season, when injuries and slumps require constant adjustments. Learn all you need to know about MLB Betting The bottom line: Fantasy managers need to weigh not just talent but opportunity. Stashing a prospect like Matt Shaw? Go for it. But holding onto Jordan Lawlar or Roman Anthony in standard formats may do more harm than good — at least for now.

Indiana All-Stars put it all together to sweep Kentucky, win for 45th time in past 52 games
INDIANAPOLIS – It happened quick. A Michael Cooper 3-pointer. A Mark Zackery IV layup. A Braylon Mullins' 3-pointer off a between-the-legs assist from Zackery. Just like that, the 2025 graduating class put its stamp — more of an exclamation point — on its senior season in the Indiana All-Stars' annual series against the Kentucky All-Stars. The All-Stars rolled to a 106-92 win Saturday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in front of 5,411 fans to put the wraps on Indiana's 45th win in the past 52 games against Kentucky since 1999. Mullins, IndyStar Mr. Basketball who will have his graduation party Sunday and then leave for UConn on Monday, led the All-Stars with 20 points, nine rebounds and seven assists to earn MVP honors. 'We gave the crowd a game.' Indiana, Kentucky set girls single-game scoring record in 2OT nail-biter 'You can't really say we didn't play great,' Mullins said. 'We all played together and had fun tonight. You can't do anything better than playing on Gainbridge (Fieldhouse) floor. It certainly helped that Malachi (Moreno) wasn't on the floor because there was a lot more opening up. But we all played great together.' Kentucky was playing without Moreno, its Mr. Basketball. The 7-1 star center who went for 22 points, 14 rebounds and four blocked shots in Friday night's game at Lexington Catholic High School — a hard-fought 98-89 Indiana win — stayed back in Lexington as he gets started with his college career at Kentucky. But regardless of Moreno's presence, it was just a cleaner, crisper Indiana team on Saturday. A big reason for that, among several factors, was the play of point guard Mark Zackery IV of Ben Davis, who finished with 10 points on 2-for-4 shooting from the 3-point line, along with six assists and five steals. Zackery, a Notre Dame football recruit, seemed to shake the rust off after playing just two games during the season due to surgery on his thumb. 'Those first two games were kind of like preseason games for me,' Zackery said of the game vs. the Junior All-Stars on Wednesday and at Kentucky on Friday. 'Tonight I felt like I came out and did what I was supposed to do and had a couple boards, had a couple assists, got my 10 points and we got the win, so it was a good night.' The Indiana All-Stars took command with a 13-0 run at the end of the first half, going into halftime with a 50-32 lead. The game was essentially over at that point, though a couple of Brady Koehler-to-Justin Kirby alley-oops — the second bounced off the floor to a waiting Kirby — certainly sealed the deal. Indiana led by as many as 32 points midway through the second half. Indiana All-Stars boys history: Which schools have most? Players list by school 'It was definitely fun to end it that way, especially catching all those lobs,' said Kirby, who finished with 11 points and four rebounds. 'Playing with some of my favorite guys in my last high school game, I just had a great time playing with them. I wish the best for all of them.' Lawrence North's Azavier Robinson, a Butler recruit, was named the Wooden-MCL Citizenship award winner. Others in double-figure scoring for the Indiana All-Stars were Jeffersonville's Tre Singleton (12 points, six rebounds), Cathedral's Koehler (12 points, seven rebounds, four assists, three steals) and Jeffersonville guard Michael Cooper (10 points). It was the first sweep of Kentucky since 2022. Crispus Attucks' Dezmon Briscoe swept the floor as the buzzer sounded to celebrate the feat. Kentucky was led by 18 points from East Tennessee State recruit Maddox Huff. 'Give these guys credit because they really worked all week,' Urban said. 'We had a great practice Thursday and a really good film session. I felt they were really loose but they were a fun group and really connected and when it was time to lace them up and go play, they did a really good job. They were a super fun group to be around.' And just like that, as each of Indiana All-Stars departed Gainbridge Fieldhouse, it was off to a new and much different chapter of the lives. Zackery IV reports to Notre Dame on Sunday. Kirby leaves for Miami of Ohio in a week. Mullins to UConn. Koehler to Notre Dame. Robinson is already moved into Butler. After several nights at Marian University, Mullins said he was ready for a good night's sleep in his own bed. '(This week) was kind of preparation for college,' Mullins said. 'I got to room with a couple roommates (Koehler was his roommate and Zackery and Robinson were in the adjoining room), so we got a little taste of that and we were all able to hang out all week. I enjoyed it. But I do miss my bed.'
