Caitlin Clark is understandably the most talked about player in the WNBA, and as such, everyone wants to ask her questions.
Unfortunately, that means that her Indiana Fever teammates end up taking a backseat during press conferences.
However, after an 89-77 loss to the Seattle Storm earlier this week, Clark made sure that one of her teammates — Aliyah Boston — got to field some of the spotlight.
After fielding a range of questions, Clark asked the media to ask Boston a question.
“Ask Aliyah a question,” Clark said. 
“No, I’m good,” Boston said.

Paul Skenes is showing with every start why he may already be one of the best two or three pitchers in Major League Baseball.

Clanton has the round to beat on Saturday at the Rocket Mortgage Classic as he looks to pull a Nick Dunlap move and win.
Florida State sophomore Luke Clanton burst onto the scene Saturday at the Rocket Mortgage Classic as he posted the score to beat.
He signed for a 7-under 65 to sit at 14-under and just a few shots behind the leaders.
Clanton recorded six birdies, an eagle and one bogey on the day. He was 5-under through 11 holes before he dropped a shot at the 12th.

Jackie Taylor — daughter of slain former NFL player Sean Taylor — has found a perfect way to honor her father’s memory.
Jackie is set to begin her freshman season on the University of North Carolina’s volleyball team. There, she’ll wear No. 21, the same number Sean wore with the then-Washington Redskins. She wore both No. 1 and 21 while playing for her dad’s alma mater of Gulliver Prep in Miami, where he wore No. 1 on the football team.
Sean was murdered during a home invasion in 2007 when Jackie was only 18 months old.

Now that all 225 selections have been made, what stands out the most? Here are the picks, trades and moments we’ll remember — for better or worse.

Paul Geroge wants out of Los Angeles, or at the very least, he wants more money to stay.
The Clippers guard declined a $48.8 million dollar player option that would have guaranteed he would play for Los Angeles next summer. Now, he has the option to sign a four-year, $221 million maximum contract with the Clippers (which are the numbers for the max contract George can get), or he can sign with another team.
Now, first of all, I can’t imagine looking at nearly $50 million (for one year of work!) and being like, “Ya know what? That’s not enough for me.

Saturday’s previously scheduled main event may have been derailed by the littlest piggy, but that doesn’t mean UFC 303 doesn’t still have plenty to offer for fight fans.

OutKick’s Riley Gaines — host of the Gaines For Girls podcast — was on hand for the Independent Women’s Forum: Take Back Title IX Summer 2024 Bus Tour’s stop in Nashville this week, which was hosted by Hot Mic‘s own Jonathan Hutton and Chad Withrow.
The event saw a substantial list of women fighting the good fight to keep women’s sports exactly that: women’s sports. That included Gaines, Coach Kim Russell, Paula Scanlan, and many more speakers who shared their personal stories and talked about new plans to alter Title IX.
