The Indiana Fever and superstar guard Caitlin Clark faced off against the Dallas Wings on Sunday. After a dominant win over the Atlanta Dream in their last outing, the Fever were looking to start a winning streak with the All-Star break coming up soon.
Clark and Indiana put together a strong performance, pulling off a dominant win.
During the game, there was a sequence that Clark put together that had fans in awe. Not only did she flash her defensive ability with a block, she backed that up with a beautiful full-court assist for a basket at the other end to Sophie Cunningham.

"Defense to offense, that was so beautiful to watch!" one fan commented.
Another fan chimed in, "I was hollering like a Banshee!!!! Awwww oooooh!"
"Such a perfect pass too. Those people are really going to have a hard time hating on this play," a third comment read.
A fourth fan wrote, "If you watch the game without hate in your heart... there's simply no comparison."
"That pass was Pat Mahomes like," another fan said.
Throughout the course of the 2025 WNBA season, Clark has struggled with injury issues. She has missed two different stints of time with two separate injuries.
Coming into Sunday's game against the Wings, Clark had played in 11 games. In those appearances, she had averaged 16.9 points, 8.6 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game and shot 37.6 percent from the floor and 28.9 percent from three-point range.

Obviously, those aren't the numbers Clark was hoping to produce in year two. The MVP hype that surrounded her before the season hasn't been lived up to, but the injury problems have really derailed her season.
Despite the slow start, Clark is starting to look like her old self. Over the last two games, the Fever have looked like the potential contender that they were expected to be.
Hopefully, this is just the start of an impressive run for both Clark and Indiana as a team.

Fever Coach Stephanie White Challenges Caitlin Clark
Fever Coach Stephanie White Challenges Caitlin Clark originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever have been rolling as of late, winning two straight games. Indiana recently defeated Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings 102-83. Before the win over the Wings, the fever defeated Brittney Griner and the Atlanta Dream. Advertisement After the win over Dallas, head coach Stephanie White spoke on the return of Caitlin Clark. Clark has been back in the Fever lineup over the past three games after dealing with a groin injury that once had her sidelined for five straight games. White discussed Clark getting back in rhythm over the past several games. She mentioned that Clark is starting to feel more explosive and her offense has clearly helped the Fever improve. While Clark has always been known for her offensive success, White is challenging Clark to be a consistent contributor on the defensive end. She explained that Clark has to take more pride in accomplishing goals on the defensive end, and so far she's done so. Advertisement 'You can tell she's starting to feel a little bit better, more explosive,' White said, per the Indiana Fever on YouTube. 'Her anticipation is really good. She read the plays, she read the rotations. Did a really good job of getting a hand in the passing lane. Staying disciplined to tip it so she can go steal it. That's what it's going to take from her, consistently. She's got to be able to bring able to bring the offense and the defense on the other end of the floor… For us to accomplish the things that we want to accomplish she's got to take more pride in that and I think she's done that.' Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White. © Grace Smith/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Throughout her second season in the WNBA, Caitlin Clark has averaged 1.7 steals and 0.6 blocks per game. She's been quite active on the defensive end at times, but it seems consistency on that end of the floor is the main point of emphasis for Stephanie White. Advertisement Aside from her defensive statistics, Clark has posted 16.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game. She leads the Fever in average assists, proving to be one of the best facilitators in the WNBA . This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.

MLB can't afford to miss out on Shohei Ohtani vs. Aaron Judge in Home Run Derby
ATLANTA — Major League Baseball will present its annual Home Run Derby on Monday night, and Shohei Ohtani isn't on the list of scheduled participants. Aaron Judge isn't either. A home run contest without baseball's two most famous home-run hitters? What's the point? Ohtani pointed to the contest's physical demands as to why he didn't compete. Judge said he would only consider participating if the event was staged in New York. How unfortunate for baseball, which has the perfect stage to showcase its two most popular players but can't persuade them to perform on it. Here's one potential remedy: Let Ohtani and Judge write the rules. That might not change Judge's position, but it could change Ohtani's. Ohtani has certainly pondered modifications that could be made to the Derby to make him more inclined to participate, some of which he shared at All-Star media day. 'That's not for me to decide,' Ohtani said in Japanese. 'However, personally, I think there could be limits on the number of pitches, the number of swings, and a focus on flight distance.' The commissioner's office should listen. As profitable as baseball is, its cultural relevance in this country is diminishing. The most popular athletes in the United States are football and basketball players. Outside of Ohtani, and maybe Judge, no baseball player transcends his sport. In Ohtani, baseball finally has its long-awaited face of the game, and the sport would be negligent to not maximize his stardom, both domestically and abroad. Cal Raleigh of the Seattle Mariners might be the major league leader in home runs, but he's a nobody as far as the general public is concerned. The same is true of everyone else in the eight-player Derby field — Matt Olson of the Atlanta Braves, James Wood of the Washington Nationals, Junior Caminero of the Tampa Bay Rays, Jazz Chisholm Jr. of the New York Yankees, Byron Buxton of the Minnesota Twins, Oneil Cruz of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Brent Rooker of the Wandering Athletics. By participating in the Derby, Ohtani wouldn't just draw attention to the event. He would also elevate his competitors, giving them chances to introduce themselves to audiences that would otherwise remain ignorant of their existences. If baseball has to reduce the number of swings taken by Derby participants to gain that kind of exposure for its players, it should reduce the number of swings taken by Derby participants. For that matter, if Ohtani says he would participate only if he's allowed to hit soccer balls, let him hit soccer balls. Why not? What would be compromised, the integrity of a barely-watchable made-for-television event? Ohtani's reticence is based on history. When Ohtani made his only Derby appearance in 2021, the format was similar to what it is now. In the first round, Ohtani had three minutes to hit as many homers as possible, as would be the case today. The Derby has since added a 40-pitch limit. Ohtani was eliminated by Juan Soto in the opening round, after which he said with a simile, 'It was more tiring than the regular season.' Ohtani went on to win his first most valuable player award that year, but the Derby marked a turning point in his season. In 84 games before the All-Star break, Ohtani batted .279 with 33 homers and 70 runs batted in. In his 71 games after, he hit just .229 with 13 homers and 71 RBIs. He implied that experience was why he was unlikely to return any time soon. 'With the current rules, it's pretty difficult,' Ohtani said last month, 'so for now, I don't think there's much of a chance.' For baseball, that translates to limited viewership. Viewership for the Derby was at its highest in the first decade of the 2000s. Of the five most-viewed Derbys, only one was staged in the last 15 years: The 2017 Derby, which Judge won as a rookie. Judge has not competed since. The Derby doesn't make the players. The players make the Derby. And if the sport's only superstar is open to taking part, the league should facilitate it.
