WNBA - English
Caitlin Clark is having a great start to her second year in the WNBA, with the Indiana Fever guard averaging 19.3 points, 9 assists and 6.3 rebounds in three games played so far in the 2025 regular season.
That’s one of the reasons why in the WNBA championship odds market, the Fever have gone from +2500 to +300 and currently hold roughly 80% of the handle. Only the current champions New York Liberty (+225) and Las Vegas Aces (+275) have better odds to win the title.
Caitlin Clark makes Brittney Griner cuss her out during a heated game
And Clark enters the year as the betting favorite (+195) to win the MVP award, giving her an implied probability of 33.9% in her second season. More than half (52.7%) of the tickets are on Caitlin to win the award over Las Vegas Aces superstar center A’ja Wilson (+200) and Minnesota Lynx standout Napheesa Collier (+250).
Clark makes Griner cuss her out
Caitlin Clark’s Performance Could Ignite Hype and Ratings in Upcoming Matchup
Caitlin Clark‘s greatness, though, comes with a price that includes animosity from rivals, and that’s just what the former Iowa Hawkeyes is going through right now. Indiana Fever beat the Atlanta Dream 81-76 to get a valuable road win, but a gesture on the bench surprised WNBA fans.
Center Brittney Griner, one of the most dominant and impactful players in the WNBA, set up a screen for one of her teammates when Clark ran into the Atlanta Dream‘s player. To some fans, Caitlin was guilty of flopping and Griner didn’t like her opponent’s gesture one bit.
She got called for her fifth foul and had to sit in the bench. The 6’9 center couldn’t hold her emotions and she called Clark out, even cussing her out by saying “f****** white girl,” which sparked a debate in social media about the attitude towards Caitlin.
The WNBA MVP race is going to be an exciting one
The WNBA MVP race is going to be one of the most exciting things to watch during the 2025 regular season. Las Vegas Aces forward A’ja Wilson unanimously won her third MVP in 2024 after an incredible season, averaging 26.9 points per game with 2.6 blocks, 2.3 assists, 1.8 steals, and 11.9 rebounds on over 50% shooting from the field.
Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier finished second in voting in 2024, and she seems motivated to begin 2025 with a vengeance and with the goal of winning that award in mind. She wrapped up opening weekend, averaging 28.3 points, five rebounds, and 2.5 assists on 56 percent shooting from the field and a 67% shooting from three.
Wilson had 31 points, 16 rebounds, three assists, two steals, a block, and shot 50 percent from the field in the Aces‘ opening against the New York Liberty this past weekend. Caitlin Clark picked up a triple-double (20 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) to help lead the Fever to a win in their season opener.

Angel Reese’s role questioned amid reports of tension with Chicago Sky teammate
Angel Reese entered the new WNBA season with massive expectations, but just two games into the campaign, questions are already surfacing about her fit with the Chicago Sky - particularly alongside fellow frontcourt talent Kamilla Cardoso.In the Sky's home opener on Thursday night, the team was thoroughly outmatched by the defending champion New York Liberty, and Reese endured a particularly difficult night. Despite playing 27 minutes, she failed to make a single shot from the floor. One possession in particular - where Reese was blocked multiple times but refused to pass out to an open teammate - drew criticism from fans and triggered speculation about a lack of team cohesion.The moment that truly caught attention, however, was Kamilla Cardoso's reaction. As Reese struggled through the play, Cardoso simply walked toward the other end of the court, showing no interest in […]

Arsenal pull off greatest European upset – and Slegers deserves the credit
It was meant to be Chelsea. It was meant to be Sonia Bompastor, the European specialist, and the only individual to have conquered the Champions League as a player and a coach three times.But Chelsea could not do what Arsenal have. They could not beat Barcelona. Renee Slegers led her team up to the winner's podium at the Estadio Jose Alvalade, with realisation only just setting in, as unassuming as ever in club shorts and t-shirt, boots on, as if she were leading a regular training session.Moments later she waded through the glitter and red and white streamers after Kim Little and Leah Williamson jointly hoisted the Champions League trophy aloft, its glare reflecting the scorching heat of the Lisbon sun, and was embraced by her family.The triumph was Arsenal's, but the architect was Slegers.
