Fever Coach Stephanie White's Blunt Response to Exciting Caitlin Clark News
Looking for their third straight win, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever visited Boston to take on coach Stephanie White's former team, the Connecticut Sun, on Tuesday at TD Garden.

In her second WNBA season, Clark has seen a drop in her scoring production from last year, averaging 16.7 points on 37.4% shooting, 4.8 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game. She is also having one of the worst 3-point shooting seasons of her career, averaging just 28.9% through 12 games.
But a three-game stretch before Clark's groin injury may have cost her total average. From June 19-24, she shot 1-of-23 from distance, good for 4.3%.
Still, despite the recent shooting woes, Clark accepted an invite to perform in the 3-point contest at the 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend, which will be held at Gainbridge Fieldhouse (Indianapolis). The former Iowa star notably did not participate in 2024.

Ahead of Tuesday's game, White joined the media in Boston for a pregame press conference. When asked about Clark playing in the 3-point contest, White shared her response.

"She doesn't need any pointers from me," White said. "No, we haven't talked about it. In fact, I saw it on the news. But, I mean, I'm happy that she's doing it. Certainly, in the state of Indiana and Indianapolis, so it's a great opportunity to continue to showcase what she does best to our fans and WNBA All-Star fans."
Along with Clark, four other WNBA stars will be participating in the 3-point contest. Those include Washington Mystics guard Sonia Citron, Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray, New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu and Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum.
The 2025 WNBA 3-point shootout will take place on Friday at 8:00 p.m. ET, before the All-Star game the following day. After Tuesday's game, the Fever will have one final battle before the big weekend, facing the Liberty on Wednesday.

Serena Williams Poses in Blue Bikini on Yacht in New Photos
This just in: Serena Williams is living her best life rn. The tennis icon just dropped some bikini pics from her luxurious yacht getaway, and let me tell ya, she is serving. And I'm not the only one who thinks so—fans are pouring into her comments section with all the praise. Please see for yourself: Oh, and she posted this to TikTok, too, just so we could get a better look at the suit: Now to answer the question that I (and several hundred other commenters) are asking: Where did Serena get that blue suit??? Lucky for you, I tracked it down. In her pics, Serena is wearing the Cala Roja Top and Byron Bottom in azure crinkle from Monday Swimwear—but IMO, it's the matching Palermo Skirt that really brings this ~lewk~ together. Serena, the woman that you are! In addition to being an Instagram star, a tennis champ (yes, even in retirement), a mother of two, and a beauty and fashion mogul, Serena recently added a new accomplishment to her resume: WNBA team co-owner. Earlier this year, she announced her new ownership role in the first Canadian WNBA team, the Toronto Tempo, because what can't she do? 'I am thrilled to announce my ownership role in the first Canadian WNBA team, the Toronto Tempo,' Serena said in a statement, as reported by NBC News. 'This moment is not just about basketball; it is about showcasing the true value and potential of female athletes—I have always said that women's sports are an incredible investment opportunity.' Though the Tempo won't officially start playing until 2026, I have a feeling that—with Serena's backing—they're going to be a team to watch. In the meantime: I'm grabbing Serena's azure suit before it goes out of stock.

INDIANAPOLIS — Washington Mystics guard Brittney Sykes and Atlanta Dream forward Brionna Jones were announced Thursday as replacements for the All-Star Game by WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. The pair replace Indiana's Caitlin Clark and Phoenix's Satou Sabally, who are injured and can't play in Saturday's game. Clark, who injured her groin on Tuesday, announced on social media she's out for this weekend to recover. The league didn't announce a replacement yet for Clark in the 3-point contest Friday night. Both will be on Clark's team, which is coached Sandy Brondello. Clark and Sabally were in the starting lineup for the team and Brondello will name their replacements. This will be Sykes' first All-Star appearance and Jones will be playing in her fourth one.
