WNBA - English
As the Indiana Pacers gear up for their showdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder, it’s not just Tyrese Haliburton or Obi Toppin turning heads-WNBA rookie phenom Caitlin Clark is stealing the spotlight without ever stepping onto the hardwood.
Before Game 1 tipped off, Pacers forward Obi Toppin couldn’t stop gushing about the Indiana Fever’s No. 1 pick. “Caitlin’s amazing. Super amazing,” he said. “She brings so much energy, not just to the Fever, but to the whole city. We love watching her just as much as she loves watching us.”
In fact, Clark has become a courtside fixture during the Pacers’ playoff run-and possibly a good luck charm. The Pacers are undefeated in all seven games she’s attended, a stat fans are starting to take very seriously.
Clark is more than just a Pacers fan
Her off-court influence runs deep. According to Toppin, she’s grown close with Haliburton and his wife, chats with players regularly, and has even trained with them. “It’s a joy to have her there. She’s part of the family,” he added.
Ben Sheppard echoed the love in an interview with Marca TV: “She supports us so well. We see her around the arena all the time. Her success is inspiring, and her presence helps keep the energy up.”
Even as a quadriceps injury temporarily sidelines Clark from WNBA action, her impact in Indianapolis is undeniable. Since her arrival as the top pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, she’s become not just a superstar athlete but a unifying force in the city’s sports scene.
Support will continue to flow from both sides
Toppin, who publicly congratulated Clark on her Rookie of the Year award last fall, summed it up best: “We’re gonna keep supporting each other and do great things.”
And if Clark keeps showing up courtside, maybe the Pacers will too-like, say, NBA Champions great.

The Hoodie Meets the Hype: Bill Belichick’s UNC Debut Feels Like Prime Time
For over two decades, NFL coaches tried to emulate Bill Belichick, the mastermind behind six Super Bowl titles with the New England Patriots. Now, as he begins his first season in college football with North Carolina, Belichick appears to be following in the footsteps of another NFL icon-turned-college-coach: Deion Sanders.FOX Sports' Colin Cowherd sees a lot of similarities between the team that Belichick has entering Year 1 in Chapel Hill and the team that Coach Prime built in his first year at Colorado. In fact, Cowherd believes that the Tar Heels will go through similar ups and downs to the ones Sanders' Buffs experienced in 2023. "They're gonna sell out games," Cowherd said on "The Joel Klatt Show." "It's gonna be fascinating. It'll be great for TV ratings. At the end of the year, you're like, ‘I don’t know how good […]

Slot critical of Newcastle approach: That wasn’t a football match
Arne Slot criticised Newcastle's approach in Liverpool's dramatic 3-2 win at St James' Park, declaring "that wasn't a football match" when asked for his assessment of the game.Liverpool came away with a victory against 10-man Newcastle on Monday Night Football after the Magpies thought they had come from 2-0 down to secure a draw. Sixteen-year-old Rio Ngumoha's winner 10 minutes into injury-time capped off a raucous, chaotic game that had been dominated by the future of Alexander Isak beforehand.The Toon comeback was even more impressive given they played half of the game with 10 men after makeshift No 9 Anthony Gordon was sent off in first-half injury-time.It was a scrappy affair from the outset with 19 fouls before the break. Newcastle then resorted their attacking play to purely set-pieces with a man fewer - a tactic that caused Liverpool problems […]
Obrovské drama! Liverpoolu vystřelil výhru šestnáctiletý mladík v desáté minutě nastavení
Liverpool poslal do vedení v 35. minutě Ryan Gravenberch. Newcastle poté v nastavení prvního poločasu přišel o vyloučeného Anthonyho Gordona a krátce po přestávce přidal druhou branku obhájců titulu Hugo Ekitiké.Domácí se ale nevzdali a i v oslabení byli nebezpeční. V 57. minutě se dočkali snížení, když se prosadil Bruno Guimaraes. O vyrovnání se pak v 88. minutě postaral William Osula, ale výhru nakonec Liverpoolu v desáté minutě nastavení zajistil Rio Ngumoha.NEUVĚŘITELNÝ závěr v St. James’ Parku! 🤯88’ Newcastle v deseti srovnává na 2:2! 💥90+10’ Teprve 16letý Rio Ngumoha vystřeluje Liverpoolu výhru! ☄️ pic.twitter.com/THPRCiwItA— CANAL+ Sport CZ/SK (@CANALSportCZ) August 25, 2025 Liverpool v nové sezoně Premier League vyhrál i podruhé.
