Chicago Sky vs. Indiana Fever Game: How to Watch on May 17
Rookie guard Caitlin Clark and forward Angel Reese transformed the WNBA last year in their first professional seasons. Both landed on the All-Star and All-Rookie teams for their efforts on the court. Clark led the league with 8.4 assists per game and Reese led the WNBA with 13.1 rebounds per contest. Advertisement The intense competition between these two young stars dates back to their college days. Reese and her LSU teammates famously knocked off Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes in the 2023 NCAA National Championship Game. Another chapter in this storied rivalry began last season when Reese and the Chicago Sky took on Clark and the Indiana Fever in four matchups throughout the season. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5).Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images These two up-and-coming franchises will kick off their 2025 WNBA seasons by facing off once again. Saturday's matchup will be the first of five games that the two teams are set to play this season. How to watch Chicago Sky vs. Indiana Fever Date : Saturday, May 17 Time : 3:00 p.m. EST Venue : Gainbridge Fieldhouse (Indianapolis, IN) How to Watch (TV) : ABC Streaming : ESPN+/Disney+/Fubo TV/Sling TV Sky record (2024): 13-27 Fever record (2024): 20-20 Sky Expected Starters G Ariel Atkins G Rachel Banham F Kia Nurse F Angel Reese C Kamilla Cardoso Fever Expected Starters G Caitlin Clark G Kelsey Mitchel F DeWanna Bonner F Natasha Howard C Aliyah Boston Advertisement Courtney Vandersloot, Rebecca Allen and Elizabeth Williams are expected to be key bench pieces for the Sky. The Fever should get great minutes out of Lexie Hull. Do not be surprised to see Sky rookie Hailey Van Lith or Fever rookie Makayla Timpson factor into the rotation either. Sky Injury Report: Hailey Van Lith -- QUESTIONABLE (Ankle) Moriah Jefferson -- OUT (Leg) Fever Injury Report: Sophie Cunningham -- OUT (Ankle) Van Lith's status for the game is currently unknown, but the Sky will be without Moriah Jefferson, a deep piece of their bench. Sophie Cunningham being out for the Fever is a major blow, as she was one of the team's best offseason additions. This should be an exciting matchup, as both the Sky and Fever made several key offseason additions. Most notably, both teams are led by new head coaches, as Tyler Marsh is now in Chicago and Stephanie White is in charge for the Fever. Advertisement Neither team wants to start off the year with a loss, and each game will be incredibly important in what should be a tight WNBA playoff race. Clark and Reese are always must-see TV when they face off, and Saturday should be no different.

Ohio State coach Kevin McGuff facing DUI charge
May 13 - Ohio State women's basketball coach Kevin McGuff is facing a drunken-driving charge after police said they found him parked in his front yard last week in Dublin, Ohio. On Tuesday, authorities confirmed McGuff's arrest on May 6 for operating a vehicle while intoxicated. The incident report released Tuesday said Dublin officers located McGuff, 55, inside a Toyota SUV that was partially parked on his lawn. Another driver had called police to report a vehicle driving recklessly and striking several curbs, officials said. Responding officers performed several field sobriety tests, including asking McGuff to say the alphabet from D to R. "Kevin could only say 'D' and could not recite any other letters," read the police report obtained by the Columbus Dispatch. McGuff refused a breathalyzer test and was taken into custody and charged with OVI, a first-degree misdemeanor. He was released about an hour later into his wife's custody. Ohio State's athletic department said it was aware of the arrest and is "monitoring the situation closely." "This is an ongoing, personal legal matter, and the department will share additional information at the appropriate time," a school spokesperson said. McGuff has a 276-113 record since taking over at Ohio State in 2013. The Buckeyes have reached the NCAA Tournament eight times under his leadership, including 2024-25 when they finished with a 26-7 record. He was the Big Ten Coach of the Year in 2023-24. --Field Level Media
