Caitlin Clark 'progressing,' but not expected to return for Fever's second-half opener on Tuesday
Caitlin Clark continues to have an uncertain timetable to return from her groin injury. Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White told reporters Sunday that the Fever star is unlikely to play when the team resumes its season on Tuesday and that she will undergo additional testing, per ESPN's Alexa Philippou. White reportedly said the team hopes to have a more clear timeline after the testing. From ESPN: "I think she's progressing," White said. "I think that we're continuing to address everything that needs to be addressed ... I don't expect her to be available on Tuesday, so we're just going to continue to take it one day at a time and let her get her evaluations early this week." Clark has been out since aggravating her groin injury last Tuesday, the latest frustration in a disappointing season so far for the WNBA's biggest ratings draw. She missed five games between May and June with a quad injury, then four games with the original groin injury in late June. The latest injury caused her to miss both the WNBA All-Star Game and 3-point contest, in which she figured to be the marquee attraction. The Fever hosted the All-Star festivities for the first time in the franchise's 26-year history and Clark's face was plastered throughout Indianapolis. With its namesake and starter Sabou Sabally out, Team Clark was blown out by Team Collier in the All-Star Game. New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu emerged victorious in the 3-point contest. At 12-11, the Fever sit in sixth-place in the overall WNBA standings, but are just a game and a half away from dropping out of the eight-team playoff field entirely. Indiana broke the league's longest playoff drought last year in Clark's historic rookie season, but was hoping to take a major step forward this year after the addition of veteran talent like Natasha Howard, Sophie Cunningham and DeWanna Bonner (not all of them worked out). It's hard to imagine a serious run for the Fever without a 100% Clark, and we should have a better idea of how feasible that is after her testing this week.

Brewers tie Cubs for first place with 10th straight win, while slumping Dodgers lose Freddie Freeman to wrist contusion
The Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers continued their opposite trajectories on Sunday. The Brewers picked up their 10th straight win with a 6-5 victory and tied the Chicago Cubs for first place in the NL Central. The Los Angeles Dodgers not only suffered their 10th loss in 12 games, they also saw star first baseman Freddie Freeman exit with a wrist contusion. With two sweeps of the Dodgers in the span of two weeks, the Brewers became the first team to sweep Los Angeles in a season series of at least four games since 2006, when the St. Louis Cardinals took all seven games, per Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. As recently as June 18, the Brewers were 6.5 games behind the Cubs. They now share the title of best record in MLB with Chicago and the Detroit Tigers, at 59-40. As recently as July 3, the Dodgers were up nine games in the NL West. They now sit just 3.5 games ahead of the second-place San Diego Padres, with a record of 58-42. The Dodgers got a small reprieve when they finished the first half with two wins over the San Francisco Giants, but have now come out of the All-Star break with a thud. The offense was listless on Friday. The defense couldn't get a shutdown inning when it needed on Saturday. Sunday began as a different story when a third-inning rally, capped off by a Shohei Ohtani homer, made it 3-0 Los Angeles. The Brewers tied the game an inning later via a defensive meltdown by the Dodgers, who committed three errors in the game. One of the players responsible for those errors, Esteury Ruiz, redeemed himself with a homer in the fifth inning, but the Brewers again came back an inning later and took the lead for good this time. It was after that when Freeman, the reigning World Series MVP took an 88 mph sinker to the wrist from Milwaukee Brewers starter Jose Quintana. The 35-year-old Freeman immediately started walking to the dugout, and the Dodgers sooner announced that he left with a left wrist contusion. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters after the game that Freeman's X-rays came back negative and he's day-to-day going forward. There had already been cause for concern with Freeman, as he has been quietly awful after a torrid start to the season. Since the start of June, he's hit .201/.274/.282 with only one homer and a 57 wRC+ that ranked as the ninth-worst among qualified players entering Sunday. The Dodgers nearly came back in the ninth inning, loading the bases and scoring a run off Brewers set-up man Abner Uribe, but Mookie Betts, another former MVP who has struggled lately, lined out to end the game. Very little is going right for the Dodgers these days. Their next chance to turn things around will be a home series against the Minnesota Twins. Meanwhile, the Brewers will try to continue their streak in a road series against the Seattle Mariners beginning Monday.

Lakers' Bronny James has Luka Doncic to blame for unfavorable free agency news
Things appeared to be lining up well for 20-year-old Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James. The USC product was a solid performer in the Summer League and was believed to be primed for a more productive sophomore NBA campaign following a relatively unproductive rookie season (he averaged 2.3 points per game in 6.7 minutes of action). However, on Saturday, ESPN's Shams Charania announced that former Boston Celtics guard and Defensive Player of the Year, Marcus Smart, will sign with the Lakers once Los Angeles makes ample room for him, negatively impacting James' chances of earning minutes next season. Based on a recent report made by the Athletic's Dan Woike, James has Luka Doncic to blame for the unfavorable free agency news. "Doncic, according to league sources, had communicated his desires for a capable rim-running center, shooting help and defensive support," Woike stated. "The Lakers responded by filling those needs with Deandre Ayton, Jake LaRavia and, soon, Marcus Smart." "In addition to that, league sources said, Doncic has been an active recruiter for the Lakers this summer and helped secure commitments from Ayton and Smart after both unexpectedly hit free agency via contract buyouts.' Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp While Doncic is undoubtedly pleased with the Lakers' current state, James likely wishes the organization hadn't made any additional roster moves after landing Ayton and LaRavia. Smart is the perfect win-now backcourt asset for the Lakers. The 31-year-old is a defensive mastermind who offers enough offensive production to be regarded as an impactful two-way asset. The Celtics reached the Eastern Conference Finals five times under Smart's leadership at the point guard position, and nearly captured an NBA championship in 2022. The Oklahoma State product averaged 11.5 points, 6.3 assists, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game during his final season with the Celtics (2022-23), shooting 41.5% from the field and 33.6% from deep. Without Smart in the fold, James' stiffest bench competition would have been Gabe Vincent, who's struggled to find his way in a Lakers uniform. However, now that all signs point to Los Angeles including Vincent in a consolidation trade to clear space for a more valuable asset in Smart, it's safe to say James' odds of solidifying a refined role under JJ Redick in Year 2 have taken a massive hit. Granted, continuing to develop in the G-League would help the former McDonald's All-American expand his offensive arsenal and increase his comfort as a playmaker. Still, there's no denying that the eventual addition of Smart, thanks to Doncic's recruitment chops, will make it challenging for James to make noise with the Lakers during the 2025-26 season.
