NBA Draft prospect Jared McCain is being impersonated by someone on Snapchat who has been scamming fans for money.
The catfish account reportedly builds trust with fans before offering them “gifted items from SKIMS and other companies at a discounted price,” according to TMZ Sports.
Last fall, SKIMS — an underwear and loungewear line founded by Kim Kardashian — entered into a multi-year partnership with the NBA, WNBA and USA Basketball.

The third installment of “Mean Girls” premiers today at noon on ESPN.
There were two “Mean Girls” movies – the good one in 2004 with Lindsey Lohan as the nice girl/home-schooled Cady Heron and Rachel McAdams as the consummate high school “It” girl and head title namesake Regina George and the forgettable reboot this year.
And there have been two college “Mean Girls” match-ups on the basketball court between America’s Sweetheart Caitlin Clark as Cady and villain Angel Reese as Regina, sort of.

Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz had other ideas.
Cincinnati took the field for the bottom of the ninth with a 5-3 lead, and with closer Alexis Diaz on the bump. Pete Crow-Armstrong singled to lead off, then pinch-hitter Michael Busch was walked.

A scary moment in Syracuse last night when Buffalo Bisons catcher Payton Henry was hit in the head by a batter’s backswing.
The scary incident happened in the 7th inning of last night’s game between the Blue Jays Triple-A affiliate and the Syracuse Mets. 
Syracuse third baseman Pablo Reyes was at the plate facing a 1-2 count when he swung and missed. His follow-through ended up hitting the back of catcher Payton Henry’s head, immediately sending the 26-year-old crashing to the dirt as the umpire and Bisons training staff rushed to help him.

Are you ready to watch Caitlin Clark’s next WNBA game? The Fever host the Chicago Sky today at noon.

Nike appeared to forget the WNBA exists in a now-deleted tweet.
The popular apparel company tweeted late Thursday night, “And that’s that… a week without hoops msh [upside down face] emoji” following the Mavericks advancing to the NBA Finals.
It was clearly a reference to the fact there’s no men’s pro basketball until the Celtics and Mavericks face off in the finals.

With the Oilers up 3-2, here are key trends to monitor, and players who will be critical in a possible clinching game.
