On Tuesday, the Fever began a back-to-back, facing Tina Charles and the Connecticut Sun at TD Garden in Boston.
Boston is having arguably the best season of her three-year WNBA career. Averaging a career-high 16.2 points on 58.3% shooting, 7.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists (prior to Tuesday), Boston was also named to her third All-Star game, becoming a starter for the first time.
And against the Sun, Boston was quick to show off her playmaking skills.
With just over six minutes left in the second quarter, Caitlin Clark received a pass beyond the arc from Boston, who then set a screen for the point guard. As Clark was doubled, she passed to Boston at the top of the 3-point line, before the former South Carolina star zipped a pass to a wide-open Natasha Howard, who made an easy layup. This increased Indiana's lead to 37-30.

Even the commentators on ESPN were impressed by Boston's assist, calling it a "blaze of a pass."
The Fever reacted to the play by sharing multiple different angles of Boston's pass on social media.
"'That was a blaze of a pass!'" the Indiana Fever wrote on X. "Every angle of Aliyah Boston's bullet pass to a wide-open Natasha Howard under the basket is tonight's 360 degree play presented by Sequel 🤩"
Following the Sun game, the Fever will finish their back-to-back on Wednesday, facing Breanna Stewart and the New York Liberty for the third time in 2025.

LA Sparks' Cameron Brink nears return after 13-month ACL recovery

NEW YORK (AP) — Cameron Brink can see the light at the end of the tunnel. She's been out for 13 months after tearing the ACL in her left knee in a game at Connecticut in June last season. Now she's been cleared to play again and is eager to get back on the court with her Los Angeles Sparks teammates. 'I feel great. I'm super thankful that the Sparks have let me take my time and really feel great coming back,' Brink said to a few reporters after shootaround Saturday. 'I'm excited to be out there with my teammates.' Brink has been working toward playing in a game. After the Sparks finished their pregame shootaround, Brink went to the Barclays Center practice court and got in another 20-minute workout. 'I've put in a lot of hard work. I feel like what people usually see is me living my life normally, but people don't see the hours and hours that I put in the gym with my trainers, amazing training staff," she said. 'I've been working my (behind) off, so I definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel for sure.' Coach Lynne Roberts said that Brink won't play against the Liberty on Saturday night, but expects the 6-foot-4 forward back soon. Three of their next four games are at home after Saturday. 'It's hard to come in midseason, and then you add the mental aspect that every athlete struggles with being out that long,' Roberts said. Brink's been around the team as much as she could over the past year and also found ways to keep herself busy during the long rehab process, starting a podcast and graduating from Stanford. 'It's really tough mental, waking up every day and watching your team from the sideline cheering everyone on. I love cheering on my teammates, but there comes a point where I want to be out there too,' Brink said. 'So, I'm just really happy to be at that point and just thankful for everyone along the way.' Brink said that it's been tough during the long recovery period. She knows it will take time to get back to where she was before she got injured. Before she got hurt, Brink, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, was averaging 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks. 'It's a little nerve-wracking for sure., I'm just really going to try to be patient with myself because I'm definitely not where I was last year,' she said. 'It's still a work in progress, but yeah, just thankful for the fans. Really excited to be able to just go out there and do what I love.' ___ AP WNBA:

‘Coyote vs. Acme' Finally Reveals a Release Date at Comic-Con

If the long, twist-filled 'Coyote vs. Acme' fight for a release was 'It's a Wonderful Life,' then Ketchup Entertainment would be all the townspeople at the end (79-year-old spoiler) chipping in to make sure George Bailey doesn't go under. That's as far as the analogy goes, though film fans can easily guess who is Mr. Potter in this scenario. Regardless, the townspeople have won the day, and 'Coyote vs. Acme' is indeed on its way — finally — with a theatrical release set for August 28, 2026. To sum things up as quickly as possible: the $70 million live-action/animated movie was one of a few (paging 'Batgirl') that were shelved in 2023 as tax write-offs for Warner Bros. (to the tune of $30 million), even though the movie had tested well. After a fan outcry, the film was put up for sale to other studios… but then it quickly was dead in the water again, when nobody met the price WB wanted. A cast and crew funeral screening was even held for the movie. It was dead. George Bailey was going to jump off the bridge. More from IndieWire How 'Oh, Hi!' Makes Doomscrolling Funny What If 'The Virgin Suicides' Felt More Like a Cursed Object? Try the Feverish 'Honeycomb' for Summer Enter Clarence- eh… 'The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Toons Movie,' which Ketchup distributed, though it was only set for a streaming HBO Max (or Max at the time) release. They then made a deal earlier this year for 'Coyote vs. Acme,' which the film's star Will Forte expressed relief over earlier this year, telling THR, 'I never thought it would happen so it just came out of nowhere and I'm so thrilled,' he said. 'Thank you Ketchup Entertainment, I'm so excited for people to see this movie. I'm gonna promote the crap out of it, just tell me what you want me to do and I'll go, I'll do whatever — go to the top of Mount Everest, I'm there.' So the film's San Diego Comic-Con panel, to say the least, was hotly anticipated. And Ketchup did not disappoint. 'This movie wasn't suppose to come out,' panel moderator Paul Scheer said (via Deadline). 'I heard Warner Bros wouldn't release the film — I've never heard of Warner Bros! This is really an Acme decision and I'm saying that for legal purposes.' The even had 'an Acme lawyer' appear, attempting to halt the film's release. 'These are cease and desist papers from the Acme Corporation. You do not have permission to share information and footage from this anti-Acme film. Please leave the stage,' the performer said, then addressed a cosplaying audience member, 'As a copyrighted costume, sir, please disrobe.' May the other shelved Warner Bros. properties — which also includes another animated film 'Scoob! Holiday Haunt' — one day find such a rebirth. Until then, they await discovery at the Island of Misfit Toys. But that is another analogy for another day. Until then, check out 'Coyote vs. Acme' in theaters August 28, 2026.

Steelers announce 2025 Hall of Honor class headlined by Ben Roethlisberger

Few NFL franchises can boast the sheer volume of talent over the decades that the Pittsburgh Steelers can. The Pro Football Hall of Fame is filled with former Steelers and the franchise has six Super Bowl championships. The team also has their own Ring of Honor and each year a select few former Steelers legends get their names added. On Saturday, the Steelers announced the three former Steelers who will be a part of the 2025 class. This class is headlined by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. He is joined by center Maurkice Pouncey and outside linebacker Joey Porter. To be considered for the Hall of Honor, a player must be retired for at least three seasons, have spent at least three seasons with the Steelers, and obviously have had a significant impact on the team during their tenure. Other members of the Hall of Honor include Terry Bradshaw, Joe Greene, Franco Harris, Jack Lambert, Jack Ham, Mel Blount, Mike Webster, Dermontti Dawson, John Stallworth, Rod Woodson, Troy Polamalu, Donnie Shell, Ernie Stautner, Jerome Bettis, and Alan Faneca. According to the team's press release, the Steelers will welcome the 2025 Hall of Honor Class when the team takes on the Miami Dolphins on Monday, Dec. 15.
