Indiana Fever sensation Caitlin Clark will miss her second straight game with a left groin injury, the team announced ahead of Friday’s game against the Dallas Wings. Clark previously missed Thursday night’s loss to the Los Angeles Sparks as a result of an awkward fall late in a Tuesday win against the Seattle Storm. In 31 minutes, Clark was limited to a season-low six points on 3-of-13 shooting. She also missed all six of her 3-point attempts — her third game this season without a make from beyond the arc.
The Fever’s next WNBA regular-season game is July 3 against the Aces, but they play the Lynx two days before for the Commissioner’s Cup. Clark previously missed five games while recovering from a quad injury she suffered in May.
Clark is still averaging 18.2 points and 8.9 assists per game, even if her shooting has trailed off in recent weeks. She’s made just one of her last 23 shots from deep and her season 3-point percentage has dipped to 29.5%. She also led all players with 515,993 votes on the early ballot for the WNBA All-Star game.
“That’s exactly what the league needs is people excited about that type of stuff and wanting to be involved and feeling like their vote really counts and feeling like they can make an impact on the All-Star Game,” Clark said of the All-Star voting. “It’s really exciting to see and hopefully as we continue to go here year, to year, to year it just continues to grow.”
It’s been a busy time for the Fever after they waived six-time All-Star DeWanna Bonner on Wednesday. Indiana signed guard Aari McDonald, who averaged 11 points in three games on a hardship waiver for the Fever earlier in the season, in a corresponding move.

Detroit is college football’s new cradle of QBs. Is Donald Tabron the next Bryce Underwood?
For this year and years to come, a 45-mile corridor in southeast Michigan has a chance to be known as a cradle of College Football Playoff quarterbacks. To illustrate the point, all you have to do is put a pin in the map and connect the strings.One piece of string stretches from Detroit’s Martin Luther King High School to Eugene, Ore., where Dante Moore starts for the sixth-ranked Oregon Ducks. Another connects the town of Saline with South Bend, Ind., where CJ Carr is a first-year starter for No. 12 Notre Dame. The short strand connecting Belleville with Ann Arbor represents Bryce Underwood, the star freshman who will get his first true taste of the Michigan-Michigan State rivalry when the No. 25 Wolverines face the Spartans on Saturday night.AdvertisementThere’s another piece of string, length yet to be determined, set aside […]
What I’m seeing from the Flyers after 6 games: Vladar excelling, Michkov playing catch-up
Travis Konecny is, in fact, still Travis Konecny.The Philadelphia Flyers’ emotional leader recorded his first goal of the season on Monday in a 5-2 win over the Seattle Kraken, after he failed to convert on a handful of chances in previous games. It was only a matter of time before he broke through.AdvertisementBut then Konecny reminded everyone else at Xfinity Mobile Arena of the other part of his game and personality that is so valued in Philadelphia. After taking exception to Ryan Lindgren plowing into Owen Tippett in the third period of a game that was essentially decided by that point, he made a beeline toward the Kraken defenseman, who then initiated a fight. Konecny, of course, was more than happy to oblige — and afterward, cameras caught him demonstrably jawing at Lindgren with the two in the penalty box.“I […]
Juraj Slafkovský’s game is taking steps, and it has nothing to do with scoring goals
MONTREAL — Juraj Slafkovský stood at his locker answering questions after scoring in a second straight game, and he was wearing the price of doing business.He had a scratch on his cheek and another one or two on his neck. He was nicked up just about everywhere.And he didn’t care. His Montreal Canadiens were back on the winning side.AdvertisementTwo days earlier, before the Canadiens’ game against the New York Rangers, Slafkovský’s coach, Martin St. Louis, was asked what he was seeing in the young power forward’s game even though, at the time, he had one power-play goal and no assists in five games.“Slaf is fine,” St. Louis responded. “I think, offensively, would he like his touches to be a bit better? Yes. But I feel it’s like the rest of our team. Defensively, he’s been really, really good. And again, […]

Geno Auriemma has a serious message for the Dallas Wings after wasting Paige Bueckers’ talent
UConn legend Geno Auriemma has issued a warning to the Dallas Wings following their horrific 10-34 season, urging the organization not to waste the potential of the WNBA star Paige Bueckers.Speaking recently in an interview, Auriemma said the Wings front office needs to do better at making a smarter, collective decision as it goes looking for its next head coach.

2025 NFL quarterback rankings ahead of Week 8
Drake Maye is standing out for his accuracy: Maye's 95.2% adjusted completion percentage in Week 7 moved him to the second-highest mark on the season, and his 69.4% accuracy percentage ranks third. Jalen Hurts put on a show in Week 7: Hurts silenced much of the criticism when he went 5-for-6 for 215 yards and four big-time throws on passes that traveled 20 or more yards downfield. Hurts is only the second quarterback this season to record a deep passing grade of 99.9 in a single game. Unlock your edge with PFF+: Access Premium Stats, dominate fantasy with in-season tools and projections and make smarter bets with the new PFF Player Prop Tool.
