After her fantastic return to the court in the New York Liberty‘s trashing, Caitlin Clark returned to Gainbridge Fieldhouse to once again be the star for the Indiana Fever. Without going all out, Clark showed why she is the top star in the WNBA. On June 17, despite taking several hard hits during the game, the 23-year-old led her team to an 88-71 win over the Connecticut Sun, proving that nothing can throw her off her game.
And there’s more: with this performance, she became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 100 points and 50 assists in a season, according to Polymarket Hoops. A record that highlights her impact-even with the physical play she’s constantly facing.
Caitlin Clark needs to work on her body language as she appear fully annoyed with her teammate
A native of Iowa who shattered the NCAA scoring record with 3,951 points, Clark entered the WNBA as the No. 1 pick in the 2024 Draft and quickly became a fan favorite. Her game-marked by deep threes and flashy assists reminiscent of Stephen Curry-has packed arenas and boosted the popularity of women’s basketball.
But this game came with controversy. As Hater Report put it: “Caitlin Clark gets hit hard again and again with no call…“-a clear nod to how aggressively she’s being guarded. Fans definitely noticed.
Caitlin Clark powers Fever win
But the game was so violent, especially against Clark, that even Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy tweeted, “Kick Marina Maybrey out of the league,” referring to the Sun player who was especially aggressive in her play against the Iowa legend.
On X, another user wrote: “Caitlin Clark is a tank but this is getting ridiculous,” venting frustration over the lack of calls in her favor. Another fan added: “Caitlin Clark carrying the load again while taking hits… refs need to step up,” echoing growing concern about the physical toll on her.

Kordisté obsadili v týmové soutěži na mistrovství Evropy osmé místo
Třetí tým z loňské pařížské olympiády, kde byl v sestavě místo Pavlíka loučící se Jiří Beran, měl v Janově jako čtvrtý nasazený volný los v prvním kole. Ve druhém vyřadil po přesvědčivé výhře 45:30 ruský výběr startující pod hlavičkou týmu neutrálních sportovců (AIN).Proti Němcům, kteří byli nasazeni jako číslo 11 a v osmifinále vyřadili turnajové šestky z Izraele, ale Češi od počátku tahali za kratší konec. Jurka ještě po úvodním duelu předal „štafetu“ ve vedení 4:3, ale od té doby měl navrch soupeř. Ze zbylých osmi soubojů ještě dva těsné dílčí úspěchy zaznamenal Rubeš, ale jen zmírnil ztrátu a rozjetí Němci už se nenechali zastavit.V bojích o konečné umístění utrpěli kordisté nejprve porážku 31:45 s favorizovanými Maďary, které ve čtvrtfinále překvapivě vyřadili Nizozemci.

Fantasy Baseball Trade Analyzer: These big-name hitters may be worth moving this summer
Having been actively involved in the trade market for more than two decades, I can confidently say that the hardest thing for a fantasy baseball manager is to sell high on a player who is having a tremendous season.[Smarter waivers, better trades, optimized lineups — Yahoo Fantasy Plus unlocks it all]After all, the manager either drafted this player or added him via the waiver wire because they believed that the player could be successful. When they see their predictions coming to fruition, they feel validated and want to see the season through to the end. However, there are times when a player is outperforming even the optimistic predictions the manager had for him, and the right move is to trade the player away before he experiences regression.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis week’s article is solely comprised of hitters who are off to terrific starts […]

2025 NBA Draft: Will Spurs, 76ers trade down from top 3? It’s a rare move, but here’s why it could make sense
Trading down from a top-3 pick is a rare move in the NBA. You almost never see it. Why would you? Rookie-scale contracts are the best deals in basketball, and the higher a team picks, the better its odds historically of landing a franchise changer. Most GMs would rather get fired swinging for a future All-Star than risk sliding down the board and watching the guy they passed on torch them for the next decade.McHale and Parish for Joe Barry Carroll. Webber for Penny. Fultz for Tatum. Luka for Trae. These are the kinds of trades that have shaped eras.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSince 1980, only 10 teams with a top-3 pick have traded down and stayed within the lottery. That’s 10 out of 135 chances over 45 drafts. Here they are:1980: Celtics traded No. 1 to WarriorsWarriors picked Joe Barry CarrollCeltics moved down […]
