WNBA Reacts to Caitlin Clark's Actions During Chicago Sky Game
WNBA Reacts to Caitlin Clark's Actions During Chicago Sky Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On Saturday, the Chicago Sky hosted the Indiana Fever at the United Center, with the Fever sittting at 3-4 on the young season, while the Sky held a 2-4 mark. Advertisement However, the biggest storyline of the game was Indiana playing without its 2024 No. 1 overall pick, Caitlin Clark, who continues to recover from a left quadriceps strain sustained in late May. Midway through the first quarter, veteran guard Kelsey Mitchell provided a spark for the short-handed Fever, sinking a signature step-back jumper over a Sky defender to put Indiana up by double digits (17-7). As Mitchell's jumper fell through the net, cameras caught Clark on the Fever bench celebrating emphatically. Moments later, the WNBA took to X to share a clip of her reaction. Clark's injury was first disclosed on May 26, when team officials announced she would miss at least two weeks following imaging that revealed a left quadriceps strain. Advertisement Without Clark, the Fever have struggled, losing two of their three last games, falling first to the 3-6 Washington Mystics before suffering a loss at home to the 2-6 Connecticut Sun.

Should she regain full health, the Fever would welcome back their linchpin as they aim to climb back toward .500 and contend in both the Cup and regular season. Through four contests, Clark was leading the team in scoring (19.0 PPG) and assists (9.3) while also averaging 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.

Caitlin Clark's Clear Message to Aliyah Boston During Chicago Sky Blowout
Caitlin Clark's Clear Message to Aliyah Boston During Chicago Sky Blowout originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever continued to build momentum in their 2025 season with a commanding 79-52 victory over the Chicago Sky on Saturday. Advertisement After jumping out to a 41-28 lead at halftime, the Fever never looked back, thanks in large part to a balanced offensive attack. Kelsey Mitchell paced the team with 17 points, while veteran Natasha Howard chipped in 13. Guard Aari McDonald also made an impact off the bench with 12 points, helping Indiana improve to 4-4 on the season and extend its win streak to two games. Missing her fourth straight contest due to a left quad injury, Fever star Caitlin Clark was anything but a bystander on the sideline. Cameras frequently cut to Clark as she roared encouragement to teammates, most notably with co-star Aliyah Boston. Advertisement As Boston sat catching her breath on the bench, Clark embraced her teammate before rising from her courtside seat, leaning in and saying, "Ok, let's have fun." Clark was named the Rookie of the Year last season after being selected first overall by Indiana in the 2024 WNBA Draft. In her first season with the Fever, she led the team in scoring (19.2 PPG), led the league in assists (8.4 APG) and set a rookie record in 3-pointers made (122), earning All-Rookie, All-Star and All-WNBA First Team honors. Indiana Fever's Aliyah Boston (7) and Caitlin Clark (22) share a light Hollars/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Meanwhile, Boston was voted the 2023 WNBA Rookie of the Year after going first overall to Indiana. She has since been named a two-time WNBA All-Star (2023, 2024) and led the league in field-goal percentage as a rookie (57.8%). Advertisement With Clark sidelined, Boston has shouldered much of the offensive load, averaging 15.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.6 blocks through Indiana's first eight contests.

NBA trade rumors: 2 Kevin Durant suitors emerge, latest Giannis update, and Cavs star available
The 2025 NBA Finals are in full swing between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder, but it's already the offseason for the other 28 teams in the league. ESPN insider Shams Charania has predicted this will be the 'craziest' summer of player movement ever, and the rumor mill is heating up with the draft and free agency both just weeks away. The first-round of the 2025 NBA Draft will take place on Wednesday, June 25, with the second round following the next day. NBA free agency will unofficially get underway on July 1 when talks can open between players and teams. Free agency deals won't be official until July 6. While this is a weaker crop of free agents at the top of the class, there is some intrigue around young restricted free agents Josh Giddey and Jonathan Kuminga. Advertisement Here are the latest NBA rumors about the draft and free agency coming out over the weekend. Kevin Durant's suitors are lining up The worst kept secret in the NBA is that Kevin Durant is going to be traded in the offseason. We named six teams who feel like a natural trade partner for the Phoenix Suns in this deal earlier this year. It feels likely a Durant deal will get done soon, and two teams are already emerging as popular trade candidates. Long-time Phoenix Suns reporter John Gambadoro reported that Durant mentioned the Spurs to a friend as a possible landing spot. 'I know somebody who has been with Kevin Durant recently. And Kevin Durant and this person talked about the Spurs.' The Toronto Raptors are another team being mentioned for Durant. ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported Toronto is interested in making a big trade this summer earlier this week. NBA insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer named the Raptors as a Durant suitor, saying that Toronto has a much easier pathway to landing KD than it does trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Advertisement The Houston Rockets are another logical Durant suitor, but there are conflicting reports on talks between the teams recently. There have been some whispers that the Suns want a lottery pick in the 2025 draft in a potential Durant deal. Given Phoenix's obvious bias for Michigan State alums, would they try to target point guard Jase Richardson? Now that the Suns have hired a head coach and GM, expect Durant trade talks to go quickly. The only thing holding them up may be the status of the only player potentially available this summer who is better than KD. Giannis Antetokounmpo leaning towards staying with Bucks? Will Giannis Antetokounmpo request a trade away from the Milwaukee Bucks this summer? The NBA has been hanging on that question from the moment Damian Lillard tore his Achilles in the first round of the 2025 playoffs. There's no viable pathway to contention for the Bucks next season without Lillard, and the team wasn't particularly close to contending even with him. Milwaukee has no future draft capital or salary cap flexibility to improve the team in the near or medium-term. Given Antetokounmpo's frequent comments about wanting to win multiple championships in his career, it sure feels like this a good time for him to move on from the Bucks. Advertisement Not so fast. According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, there is 'not a lot of belief right now' that Giannis will actually request a trade. Maybe Antetokounmpo believes the East will be open next year after Jayson Tatum's Achilles tear doomed the Boston Celtics' contention chances. Antetokounmpo and his wife also welcomed their fourth baby last month, so this might not be the best time for a change of scenery. Finally, there was also a report that the Knicks are expected to make a big offer for Giannis. Sadly for them, the Knicks already traded a Giannis package for Mikal Bridges last summer. New York just has nothing to trade in terms of future picks, and it sure doesn't seem like the Bucks will want Karl-Anthony Towns or Bridges back. Antetokounmpo really should request a trade from Milwaukee this summer if his biggest priority if winning another championship while he's still in his prime (he'll turn 31 years old in Dec.). Giannis has always seemed happy in Milwaukee, though, where he's had the whole organization catered around him. It's perfectly fine if he doesn't want to leave that yet. Cavs making Darius Garland potentially available in trade? The Cavs' won 64 games this season, the second-most in the NBA behind the Thunder. That only made their second round playoff exit at the hands of the Indiana Pacers tougher to swallow. The Cavs have a few notable free agents this summer (Ty Jerome, De'Andre Hunter, Sam Merrill) that they will have trouble keeping with a massive payroll and potential second apron crunch coming. Cleveland governor Dan Gilbert has always spent a lot of money to field a competitive team, and getting the Cavs to take the next step is going to require not just money, but also creativity from the front office. Advertisement Could the Cavs move off one of their 'core four'? ESPN's Brian Windhorst named 25-year-old All-Star point guard Darius Garland as a player the Cavs could potentially move this season. Garland is really, really good, and his foot injury was a big reason why Cleveland flamed out early in the playoffs. If Cleveland really does trade Garland, expect another good young player and a draft pick to come back. The Cavs are going to be in a great spot in the East next year regardless. Cleveland joins the Pacers and New York Knicks as the early front-runners in the conference with Boston expected to have a down year because of Tatum's injury. The East is wide open, and this summer is the ideal time for Cleveland to make a push to get even better. Advertisement More from
