Indiana Fever Make Caitlin Clark WNBA All-Star Announcement on Tuesday

Indiana Fever Make Caitlin Clark WNBA All-Star Announcement on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After winning their last two games without All-WNBA guard Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever have jumped to 4-4 on the young 2025 WNBA season. Advertisement On Tuesday, the Fever will be without Clark for a fifth straight game, taking on Brittney Griner and the Atlanta Dream. In Indiana's fourth game of the season, a narrow 90-88 loss to the New York Liberty, Clark suffered a left quad strain that has left her out for over two weeks. Still, the former Iowa Hawkeyes guard is averaging 19.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game. Despite missing half of the Fever's games, Indiana announced just hours before Tuesday's matchup that fans can vote for Clark to make her second WNBA All-Star appearance, along with Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston. "⭐️ WNBA All-Star Voting June 12-28 ⭐️," the Fever wrote on X. "mark your calendars & set your alarms 🗳️ vote Aliyah Boston, Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell into the @WNBA All-Star game starting Thursday at 2 p.m.!" The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game will take place at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, home of the Fever, on Saturday, July 19, at 8:30 p.m. ET. Voting will begin on Thursday at 2:00 p.m. ET and end on Saturday, June 28, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Advertisement This year, fans will account for 50% of the All-Star voting, while players count for 25% and the media counts for the last 25%. The four guards and six frontcourt players who tally the most votes will earn starting spots. The two players with the most votes will be named captains of their team and will select the final 12 reserve spots.

Caitlin Clark's Childhood Resemblance to WNBA Rookie Turns Heads

Caitlin Clark's Childhood Resemblance to WNBA Rookie Turns Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Is this a "Parent Trap" situation? Many fans have noticed that Indiana Fever's star player, Caitlin Clark, and Washington Mystics rookie Sonia Citron look very similar. Advertisement Clark became one of the most talked-about players in college basketball at Iowa, known for her deep shooting range and high-scoring games. She broke multiple NCAA records before being drafted first overall by the Indiana Fever in 2024, bringing massive attention and pressure to both the WNBA and women's basketball overall. Meanwhile, Citron made a name for herself at Notre Dame when she played with them from 2021 to 2025 with her steady two-way play and court awareness. She was a consistent presence on both ends of the floor. After declaring for the 2025 WNBA Draft, she was picked by the Washington Mystics.

Many have made these claims before, that the two look very similar. Fans interacted with the Citron fan account that posted the childhood photos to agree.

Then @SoniaCitronGoat replied to this comment with a video fan edit of Clark and Citron's similar photos, saying "Subtle connections are there." An X account dedicated to Clark wrote, "They're twins! 😁" along with a gif of a lady rejoicing and laughing. "😭😭😭🤣 those cuts," this X user said, referring to their matching bobs. "Wait Caitlin Elizebeth Clark AND Sonia Elizabeth Citron?!?" this fan posted, pointing out that the players both have the same middle name. "They might be twins FR!" "Sonia Citron has the same middle name and jersey number as Caitlin Clark," a user said. "I have no point or punchline to offer. I just find that interesting."

Micah Parsons will attend Cowboys training camp with or without a contract extension: 'I'll be out there'

Micah Parsons confirmed that he would attend the Dallas Cowboys training camp in Oxnard, California in August, even if he and the team do not reach a new contractual agreement. The statement comes as the pass rusher attempts to negotiate a new deal in Dallas. On Tuesday, Parsons was present at the Cowboys mandatory minicamp and told media members, 'I'll be out there.' Advertisement Parsons did not clarify if he would be participating in the Oxnard camps despite guaranteeing his presence. He also did not participate in drills on Tuesday despite addressing the press. According to The Athletic's Jon Machota, Parsons mentioned a lengthy meeting with team owner Jerry Jones in which his contract was not discussed. The Cowboys' minicamp runs through Thursday, meaning Parsons may get an answer about his contract over the next 48 hours. Before Tuesday, Parsons made a social media statement that had fans wondering if he was foreshadowing a training camp holdout. 'Even though the contract is not done, I have teammates and a playbook!' Parsons posted on X. 'I'm preparing as if I will be on the field the first week of camp! But it's in the owner's hands. I'm ready to win a Super Bowl." Advertisement Parsons is currently under the fifth-year option of his rookie contract that pays him $24 million in 2025. In his fourth year with America's Team, the 26-year-old tallied 30 solo and 13 assisted tackles with 12 sacks. Unfortunately, after three straight 12-5 seasons, the Cowboys had a tragic 7-10 record and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2021. The brutal ending led to the Cowboys firing coach Mike McCarthy after five seasons. The head coach was replaced by Brian Schottenheimer, who assured Parsons his contractual limbo would be sorted. After Parsons called his new coach for a TikTok video, Schottenheimer commended Parsons' attitude over the situation. 'I know this is weird for everybody, but look, you're handling everything the right way, bro,' Schottenheimer told Parsons. 'This thing is going to get worked out.'
