WNBA - English
Caitlin Clark continues to carve out her place in WNBA history, even as the Indiana Fever navigate a season marked by turbulence, controversy, and increasingly physical play as she sets another record.
During Tuesday night’s 88-71 victory over the Connecticut Sun, a game that featured multiple ejections, technical fouls, and near-constant conflict, Clark quietly achieved yet another milestone.
Caitlin Clark needs to work on her body language as she appear fully annoyed with her teammate
The guard secured the Fever’s spot in the 2025 Commissioner’s Cup Final, but also showed off her elite playmaking capabilities by surpassing the 50-assist mark during the contest, becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 100 points and 50 assists in a single season.
In the opening half, the 23-year-old recorded 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting, along with one rebound, five assists, two steals, and three three-pointers and it was her fourth assist of the night that sealed her name in the record books once again.
The previous record-holder? Caitlin Clark herself, who achieved the feat in eight games during her debut season. This year, she did it in just six. Whilst famed for her “logo three” shots, clearly she knows how to effectively move the ball too.
Clark clinches Commissioner’s Cup spot amid crazy Suns clash
Yet this historic achievement nearly went unnoticed amid the game’s volatile energy. The matchup between Indiana and Connecticut quickly spiraled into a physical battle, culminating in multiple incidents involving Clark and her teammates.
One of the game’s flashpoints occurred in the third quarter. As Clark drove into the lane, the Sun’s guard, Jacy Sheldon, appeared to poke her in the eye. She naturally responded verbally, and tensions escalated quickly
Marina Mabrey of the Sun shoved Clark to the floor, and both teams converged. After a prolonged review, officials issued technical fouls to Mabrey, Clark, and veteran forward Tina Charles.
Perceiving a lack of justice, Sophie Cunningham committed a hard foul on Sheldon in what appeared to be a retaliatory act by sending her crashing to the floor, triggering another confrontation. That led to the ejections of Cunningham and Sheldon, as well as Lindsay Allen.
“If they had taken care of it earlier, we wouldn’t be in this situation right now,” analyst Debbie Antonelli said during the broadcast, suggesting the WNBA’s referees ultimately caused the tempers to flare up at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Despite the disruptions, the Fever maintained composure where it mattered most on the scoreboard. The victory, paired with their earlier 102-88 win over the previously unbeaten New York Liberty, sealed Indiana’s spot in the Commissioner’s Cup final on July 1.
There, they will face the Minnesota Lynx, who clinched the Western Conference slot after defeating the Las Vegas Aces 76-62 and also have an 11-1 record in the WNBA regular season. The game will take place at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

Cowboys add versatile cornerback to the mix in bid to bolster secondary
The Dallas Cowboys have made a strategic move to reinforce their defensive backfield by signing cornerback Robert Rochell to a one-year contract. This addition, confirmed by NFL insider Adam Schefter, brings a veteran presence to a secondary that already features standout talents such as Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland.

Jordon Hudson takes aim at Bill Belichick’s ex: “The Nantucket socialites” return to the center of scandal
Jordon Hudson, 24, has stirred controversy once again by directing a pointed remark at Linda Holliday, ex-partner of NFL icon Bill Belichick, through an Instagram post. What began as a heartfelt tribute to her friend Melissa Sapini, a former Miss Massachusetts, quickly turned into a reference to the couple's rocky history-particularly involving the so-called "Nantucket socialites."The post, which praised Sapini for her strength and grace, included a line that caught immediate attention:What a mess!
