Caitlin Clark is picking up where she left off.
On Sunday, Clark’s Indiana Fever played their second game of the preseason. This one was against the Brazil national team at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa, which is the same venue where Clark played her college games for Iowa. And just like she did in college, Clark was draining shots from long distance.
Late in the third quarter of the game, the Fever were leading Brazil 87-32. Clark pulled up from about 35 feet away and nailed a ridiculous three-pointer.

Clark made that three-pointer from just a foot or so behind the spot where she shot the ball on her record-breaking basket that set the NCAA points record.
Indiana won the preseason game 108-44. Clark finished with 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including four three-pointers.

The Indiana Fever announced devastating news on Tuesday, revealing that two-way guard Sophie Cunningham has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a torn MCL. The injury occurred during the Fever’s matchup against the Connecticut Sun over the weekend. Cunningham went down while rotating over on help defense, as Sun guard Bria Hartley drove baseline and ultimately fell into Cunningham’s knee while trying to pass out of a double-team. Cunningham immediately hit the floor in visible pain. While driving and kicking is a routine basketball play, some fans felt Hartley’s move came off as dirty and could have been avoided. Cunningham, however, addressed the situation on her podcast "Show Me Something," which dropped shortly after the season-ending injury news. Sophie Cunningham opens up about injury Sophie Cunningham revealed that she’s actually friends with Bria Hartley and doesn’t believe Hartley would ever try to hurt her intentionally. In fact, she admitted she even told her mom to delete a tweet that was directed at Hartley in the heat of the moment on Sunday. "I know Bria, and I'm actually really good friends with Bria," Cunningham said. "I think it was just a basketball play. I was in the wrong spot at the wrong time, she fell — there’s no way she would intentionally try to hurt me. I have nothing but love for Bria. I even told my mom, because she tweeted something… Bria and I are super cool. She would never try to hurt me. There are some girls that might, but she would never do that." Bria Hartley has faced backlash, but that narrative can now be put to rest after Cunningham publicly addressed the play and shared her personal thoughts. Unfortunately for the Fever, Cunningham becomes the third player to suffer a season-ending injury this year, joining Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald, who were both injured in the same game just over a week ago. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark remains sidelined, though head coach Stephanie White has expressed hope that she will return before the end of the season — a boost the Fever need now more than ever.
It is no secret that the relationship between Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys is not on solid ground, but that does not necessarily mean it is tarnished beyond repair. On the latest episode of his podcast, which was released on Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter predicted that Parsons and the Cowboys are "headed towards divorce." Schefter said the two sides have not spoken since April and that it seems like a matter of when — not if — they part ways. Longtime NFL reporter Josina Anderson was told the situation is not quite that grim, at least from the Cowboys' perspective. Anderson reported on Tuesday evening that the relationship between Parsons and Dallas "has not deteriorated to the point of an imminent divorce." "I did not detect any obvious tones of concern in my sourced conversation when I recently asked about ESPN's Adam Schefter's report stating he sees 'these two sides headed towards a divorce, in time.' ... I just feel Dallas has so much history with protracted (and) sensitive negotiations, thus my current impression is the club remains unrattled, at this time," Anderson wrote in a post on X. Parsons is earning just over $24M in the final year of his rookie contract this season. The 26-year-old had 12 sacks in 13 games last season and has 52.5 sacks in 63 career games. Parsons is arguably the best pass-rusher in the NFL when healthy. Although Parsons has formally requested a trade, the Cowboys maintain that they have no intention of dealing their four-time Pro Bowl defensive end. The only real leverage Parsons has is creating a headache in Dallas. He remains under contract, and the Cowboys also have the ability to use the franchise tag on him in each of the next two seasons. If Parsons were to sit out regular-season games, his contract would eventually toll. Even with Jerry Jones publicly taking shots at Parsons, one massive contract offer could change everything.
For the first time since early July, the Milwaukee Brewers have lost back-to-back games, dropping both contests of a doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. They lost the first game 6-4 and the second 4-1. In both games, their starting pitchers, Chad Patrick and Brandon Woodruff, failed to keep their pitch counts low and Cubs hitters off the basepaths. The second game was especially frustrating as Milwaukee’s offense forced Cubs starter Jameson Taillon to throw 30 pitches in the first inning, a frame that saw them score their only run, only to swing early and often after the opening frame, allowing Chicago’s starter to get through six innings. Taillon threw just 62 pitches between the second and sixth innings, and at one point retired 11 Brewers hitters in row. But the two games were not the only things Milwaukee lost on Tuesday. It appears they will be without their starting shortstop, Joey Ortiz, tomorrow and perhaps longer. Milwaukee Brewers Shortstop Joey Ortiz Has a Bone Bruise in His Knee Ortiz was 0-2 with a walk in the Game One of the doubleheader, but was pinch hit for later in the game by Anthony Seigler, who struck out. In Game Two, Ortiz was 1-3, but was not able to finish the game. He fouled a ball of his knee during his last at bat, prompting the Brewers to replace him Andruw Monasterio. Of course, Brewers fans’ minds immediately went to 2019 when Christian Yelich broke his knee cap when he fouled a ball off of it late in the season. Fortunately, x-rays revealed that Ortiz did not break any bones. Rather, he has a bone bruise which, in addition to some stomach issues, will keep him out of the lineup on Wednesday: Ortiz is hitting .233/.285/.329 with seven home runs and 43 RBI this season. It is likely that Monasterio will start in place of Ortiz.
LeBron James is addicted ... to golf, that is. The Los Angeles Lakers star said so himself, and he continues to show just how obsessed he is with the sport. After the Lakers' failed playoff run during the 2024-25 season, James has spent a huge chunk of his offseason playing golf. There have been a lot of comments about James' golf swing, with Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum even saying he needs to "loosen up a little bit." LeBron James Gives Himself a New Nickname Sure enough, James has shown significant improvement as he continues to work on his golf game. In fact, James was on a golf course along with plenty of friends recently, when he produced a highlight moment. Apparently, he pulled off a bunker chip-in, which his friends attested to. The Lakers forward called it "the highlight of the weekend" for him, adding that he "couldn't believe it." James was so hyped that he even gave himself a new nickname. "I mean call me LeScottie Scheffler," he wrote on his Instagram Stories, referencing the PGA Tour's current No. 1 golfer, Scottie Scheffler. It remains to be seen how Scheffler will react to James' self-proclaimed nickname, although it's not a surprise why the four-time NBA champion was inspired by the golf star. LeBron James' 'Cold' Message for Scottie Scheffler It's worth noting that James was among the first to celebrate Scheffler's latest victory at the BMW Championship. In the contest, Scheffler entered the final round trailing Robert MacIntyre by four strokes. However, he turned things around on the last day of the competition in Maryland and secured a two-shot victory to claim his fifth tournament title this year. During Scheffler's comeback, James was tuned in and even posted on X how "crazy" his performance was. "Scheffler so damn COLD out there!!" James exclaimed. James is obviously a huge fan of Scheffler, and with the Lakers star not afraid to show it, maybe fans would see the real Scottie Scheffler play LeScottie Scheffler in the future.
