Fans Notice the Same Thing in New Photo of Caitlin Clark After Concerning Injury News
Fans Notice the Same Thing in New Photo of Caitlin Clark After Concerning Injury News originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Indiana Fever revealed some unwanted news on the Caitlin Clark front on Monday. Head coach Stephanie White spoke to reporters during practice, and she confirmed that Clark won't be able to suit up in Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Dream despite the 23-year-old herself previously declaring her intention to return for that contest.

Clark is now set to miss her fifth straight game due to a lingering quad injury, and what's even more concerning is how White revealed that the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year has not yet been cleared for basketball activity.
Clark, however, will still be joining her team for the road game in Atlanta, as she has been throughout her injury spell. She will show her support from the sidelines as she cheers on her teammates during the game against the Dream.
The Fever shared photos of the players boarding the team plane as they traveled to Atlanta for Tuesday's matchup. Clark was all smiles in an all-black outfit with a Gatorade towel covering her head like a hoodie.
The fans on social media noticed the same thing about Clark and how she's decided to bring some delectable snacks for the flight ahead.

"Caitlin got the grub for everyone HAHA," a comment on Instagram read.
"Caitlin hit the @chickfila before the flight 👏👏" said another.
"I might get chick fil a for dinner too lol," a user wrote.

"Why is the baby 🐐 eating delicious chickens 😂😂😂" asked a fan.
"CC always with the Chick-Fil-A 😭😂" another said.
"Caitlin, you better be sharing😂" demanded a supporter.
As that last comment noted, it looks like Clark's carry-on is meant for sharing. She did have three cups of drinks in tow, and it does not seem like she's going to consume them all by herself.
The silver lining for the former Iowa star is that Coach White said the All-Star guard is ready to start "ramping back up" in terms of her activity in practice. At this point, however, it remains unclear if she will be able to return for the Fever's next game, which is on Saturday against the defending champions, the New York Liberty.

Lexie Hull Sends Message About Hidden Caitlin Clark Video
Lexie Hull Sends Message About Hidden Caitlin Clark Video originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Tyrese Haliburton's soaring jumper as the buzzer sounded lifted the Indiana Pacers back in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks. Advertisement With 7.3 seconds left and the Pacers trailing by two, Haliburton dribbled down the court, faded toward the arc and released a high-arching shot that bounced on the rim before dropping through the net, forcing overtime in the 138-135 thriller. Indiana would go on to complete the comeback, but it was Haliburton's buzzer‑beater that cemented his status as one of the league's most clutch playmakers. While Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark was watching from afar, she admitted to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne that she'd videotaped her own reaction to the play. "I videotaped myself, like, the final play and I have my reaction in real time. It's a pretty iconic video. Maybe one day everybody will see it, but no, not right now,' Clark revealed, citing too many "curse words" in her unfiltered reaction. Advertisement However, Lexie Hull, Clark's Fever teammate, wasn't going to let it slide, responding to Clark's comments with, "I have the reaction video. Taking bids now." Entering the WNBA as the first overall pick in 2024, Clark set rookie scoring (769), assist (337) and 3‑point (122) season records, guided the Fever to their first playoff berth since 2016 and earned Rookie of the Year honors. Hull, on the other hand, taken sixth overall by Indiana in the 2022 draft, has carved out a vital role of her own, becoming one of the team's spark plugs off the bench.

The Louisville, Kentucky, native, who starred at Indiana University, was selected in the first round of the 2023 WNBA Draft by the Fever. She played in 47 games for Indiana before being waived in February 2025. Advertisement Shortly after her release, Berger signed with the Minnesota Lynx on Feb. 7 and remained with them till May 14. However, she never appeared in a game for the team. In between WNBA stints, Berger gained experience overseas with Turkish clubs Genika KESB and OGM Ormanspor. Now, she's set for a fresh start in Australia. On Friday, the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL) announced a major signing: 'MAJOR SIGNING 📰 Grace Berger, former @indianafever player and American point guard, has signed with the Sydney Flames for WNBL 2025/26 🔥.' Berger played in 36 games during her rookie WNBA season, averaging 4.2 points per game.

Advertisement The Fever have had a turbulent start to the 2025 season. Indiana is 4-5 and has dealt with a string of injuries. Clark, in her second WNBA season, has missed the last five games.

Trade Idea Moves Dolphins' Tyreek Hill to Cardinals
Trade Idea Moves Dolphins' Tyreek Hill to Cardinals originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In the immediate aftermath of the Miami Dolphins' final regular season game of 2024, which resulted in the Florida-based franchise missing the playoffs, wide receiver Tyreek Hill made his stance on returning to the team as clear as can be. Advertisement "I'm out, bro," Hill told reporters in the locker room after the game. A move out of Miami has yet to materialize for Hill, who has not made any public statements about wanting to leave since January and attended the Dolphins' mandatory minicamp this week. Bleacher Report's Alex Kay believes that will not be the case by September, as he suggests the Dolphins' front office should field calls with that of the Arizona Cardinals. Kay predicts the Dolphins' return package will include two draft picks – a third- and fourth-rounder in 2026. The financial ramifications of the deal should be incentive enough for Miami to move Hill, Kay wrote. Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (10) practices during mandatory minicamp at Hard Rock Navarro-Imagn Images "Hill's contract calls for him to earn $27.7 million in guaranteed salary this season, but cutting or trading him would result in a manageable dead money hit of just $12.8 million. It would also free up nearly $15 million in immediate cap room," Kay wrote. "With the 'Phins sitting on just $14 million in available cap space — the sixth-lowest in the league — a breakup makes plenty of fiscal sense." Advertisement Kay likes the Cardinals as an ideal trade destination for Hill because it would provide them with a one-two punch at a position the team has not pursued aggressively in the draft or trade market so far this offseason. "The team is on the rise under head coach Jonathan Gannon, going from 4-13 in his first season to 8-9 last year. The receiving corps still needs a jolt, however, as Arizona avoided making any major splashes in free agency or the draft at the position," Kay wrote. "While the Cardinals have a foundational pass-catcher in Marvin Harrison Jr. to build around for the long haul, adding Hill would give quarterback Kyler Murray the weapons he needs to contend in wide-open NFC West races this coming year and over the next few seasons." Hill, who was named to the NFL's 2010s All-Decade Team, has put together a laundry list of accomplishments since his rookie season in 2016. He is a Super Bowl champion, a five-time First-Team All-Pro, and an eight-time Pro Bowler.
