"CAITLIN CLARK KENT AHH," another fan wrote.
"Caitlin Clark 👋⭐️," a third user wrote.
"Caitlin has had these glasses for quite some time now!" another user wrote.
"What are you talkin about?" a fifth user wrote. "Thanks not Caitlin Clark, that's Caitlin Kent, reporter for the Daily Planet."
"the glasses omg i can't," another user wrote.
"Glasses Caitlin," a seventh user wrote. "Pacers by 30."
In Game 4 on Friday, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the NBA's regular-season MVP, rose to the occasion by scoring 15 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter. Jalen Williams had 27 points, and super sub Alex Caruso came off the bench to add 20 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the field and five steals.

Brittney Griner Sparks Fresh Outrage For Denying Hurling 'Racist' Remark At Caitlin Clark As Fans Demand Apology
Brittney Griner is finally addressing the heated moment she seemingly had over Caitlin Clark during a May 22nd game between the Atlantic Dream and the Indiana Fever. Griner allegedly called Clark a "f-cking white girl," but she denied it, saying she only remembers "being mad." Advertisement At the time, fans slammed Brittney Griner for the remark, with many calling on the WNBA to put measures in place to prevent such an occurrence. Brittney Griner Doesn't Remember Making Alleged Remark MEGA Brittney Griner has admitted to saying something during a heated moment when her team met Caitlin Clark's team in May, but doesn't remember exactly what was said. During the encounter, Griner fouled out in a tackle with Clark, who may have exaggerated some contact to draw a foul in an 81-76 Fever win. The three-time Olympic Gold medalist was then seen venting her frustration on the bench with lip readers on social media speculating that she said "f-cking white girl," which she denies. Advertisement "I remember fouling out, being mad," Griner told Outkick's Dan Zaksheske on Sunday. "I really can't remember what I said, honestly." When asked if it was possible that she said "f-cking white girl," Griner denied any such comments. "I know it wasn't that because I wouldn't use that type of language," she said. Zaksheske then offered to replay a video of the incident to help her refresh her memory, but Griner didn't seem to think it would help her decipher what she truly said. Fans Call Out Brittney Griner Griner's latest comment led to fresh calls for her to apologize, with many accusing her of lying. Advertisement One person wrote on X, "Well as long as she doesn't remember saying it I guess there's nothing to see here folks. Rosanne should've tried that excuse." When the video of the incident made the rounds on social media, it also drew strong reactions from several fans. "You're so insecure, and it's funny how you tell the whole world without admitting it to yourself," a fan wrote at the time. Another WNBA fan said, "I am frustrated by the negative attention directed at Caitlin Clark from some women in the league due to her exceptional talent. Referring to her in derogatory terms is unprofessional and unacceptable." Advertisement Some individuals online even accused Griner of playing the race card while calling for an investigation into the matter. "The @WNBA is fine with players being racist," a fan wrote. "As long as it's racism against white people. Fun fact, you can file a lawsuit anywhere." Netizens Claim Brittney Griner Said' F-cking Wack Call' MEGA However, several individuals online have defended Griner, speculating she didn't use those words. "Lips don't quite match up to saying 'White' at all. Particularly, there doesn't appear to be any 'T' enunciation. And she definitely didn't say 'Girl,'" one fan added. "Imagine if right-wing influencers on X didn't actively and knowingly monetize off of stirring up racial division." Advertisement Another fan said that Griner actually yelled that the referee had made a "f-cking wack call" by penalizing her for the sixth time in the game. Brittney Griner Was Involved In A Drug Controversy MEGA Griner was previously involved in a controversy and missed the 2022 season when she was detained in Russia for nearly 10 months. At the time, authorities conducted a search on her luggage and discovered vape cartridges containing oil derived from cannabis. Fortunately for Griner, she was eventually freed in a prisoner swap. Earlier this month, Outkick founder Clay Travis claimed the WNBA had banned his publication from covering Griner out of fear they would ask her about the controversial video, a ban which appears to have now been lifted. Advertisement "The @wnba has refused to credential @outkick for @brittneygriner games because they don't want her asked about the 'f-cking white girl' viral video comment," Travis wrote on X. "And no other 'media' outlet in America covering the WNBA is willing to ask her about it." Caitlin Clark Returns From Injury With A Bang MEGA Meanwhile, Clark returned with a bang as the Indiana Fever squared up to the Liberty on Saturday. She scored 14 points on 5-for-7 shooting in the first quarter and kicked things into gear with three treys in 38 seconds. The match, which took place at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, saw the Indiana Fever record a 102-88 win with Clark scoring a team-high 32 points — hitting 7 of her 14 3-point attempts — to go along with nine assists and eight rebounds. Advertisement According to the New York Post, she'd missed the last five games due to a strained quad shortly after her encounter with Griner. Before the game on Saturday, she made clear her intention to put up a sterling performance. "Why would I be out there to play 20 minutes?" she told reporters. "I'm out there to win and give everything I have for this team."

Mets Announce Pete Alonso, Juan Soto News After Third Straight Loss
Mets Announce Pete Alonso, Juan Soto News After Third Straight Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Mets are looking to rebound from their first series sweep of the season after dropping the latest set against the Tampa Bay Rays. Despite two strong shutout performances from the pitching staff earlier in the week, New York struggled to maintain consistency, and the offense seemed out of sync at the plate. Advertisement Right fielder Juan Soto and first baseman Pete Alonso both cooled off during the series, combining for just three hits over the three games. Soto, in particular, struck out multiple times in key moments, and Alonso's power was noticeably absent. However, despite the weekend's struggles, both players have fueled New York's success in recent weeks. Mets right fielder Juan Soto (22) celebrates with first baseman Pete Carchietta-Imagn Images On Monday, the Mets celebrated a shining moment: Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, and Juan Soto all emerged as frontrunners in the initial All-Star ballot returns. Lindor leads his respective position, but Alonso and Soto each trail at least one other player. The team took to social media to capture their excitement about the news: Advertisement "ALL-STAR BALLOT UPDATE Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, and Juan Soto are amongst the leaders for their positions!" the Mets announced on X. Throughout the 2025 season, Alonso has been elite. He's hit 17 home runs and leads the National League with 63 RBIs, and is on his way to potentially earning his fourth All-Star appearance. Soto has also shown flashes of his MVP-caliber form, reaching 13 home runs and 36 RBIs this campaign. With Monday off, the Mets will turn their sights to a big Tuesday matchup in Atlanta against the Braves. They'll look to regain form and recapture their offensive rhythm—leaning on their All-Star trio to lead the way.

Red Sox Urged to Trade for Brewers' Rhys Hoskins ‘Right Now' Amid Rafael Devers Trade
Red Sox Urged to Trade for Brewers' Rhys Hoskins 'Right Now' Amid Rafael Devers Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After the Boston Red Sox traded away superstar designated hitter Rafael Devers, there are a lot of questions left for the Red Sox front office. With the team sitting above .500 and in range of a Wild Card spot, the team shouldn't be in rebuild or selling mode. They should instead be trying to acquire MLB talent to contribute to a postseason run. Advertisement With all of the money freed up from the Devers trade, there are plenty of paths Craig Breslow and the front office can take. One MLB executive believes they should swing a deal for Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins. According to an article from Mark Feinsand of a National League MLB executive urged the Red Sox to acquire Hoskins to shift the narrative on the Devers deal. "'What the general public never factors in their knee-jerk trade reactions in what the teams trading away the large contract can now go do with those dollars,' and an NL executive said," Feinsand reported. "Boston should go and trade for someone like [Brewers first baseman] Rhys Hoskins right now. Then the deal takes on a whole new dimension." Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins (12) hits a single in the fourth inning against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Stratman-Imagn Images If Boston did use some of the money on Hoskins, while it wouldn't negate the negative feelings from the fanbase over that decision, it would help soften the blow of losing the final player from the 2018 World Series squad. Advertisement Hoskins is currently under contract for $18 million in 2025 and has a mutual option of $18 million for the 2026 season. The Red Sox could offer an extension and move off Triston Casas permanently, or they could use him for just one year, and let Hoskins walk after the 2025 season for a new payday. Whatever the Red Sox could do with Hoskins, they'd be getting a great slugging hitter on their roster. In 2025, Hoskins had 56 hits, 23 runs scored, nine doubles, 10 home runs, 37 RBIs, 30 walks, and 73 strikeouts in 229 at-bats. The Brewers' slugging first baseman is a player the Red Sox need, and he's also likely to become available if the Brewers begin to lose games in the build-up to the MLB trade deadline. From the perspective of an MLB executive, adding someone like Hoskins with the freed-up money from the Devers trade should be something the Red Sox do "right now." Not only would it add offensive firepower, but it'd also help justify the deal and help round out a roster with plenty of question marks following Devers' departure.
