WNBA Fans Loving Caitlin Clark's Message For Sabrina Ionescu
Caitlin Clark wasn't able to play in this year's All-Star game due to a groin injury. It was a crushing blow to every fan who showed up to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday night.
Unfortunately, injuries have plagued Clark this season. Not only has she suffered a groin injury twice in the past month, she has missed time due to a quad strain. Just a few days ago, she received some words of encouragement from fellow All-Star guard Sabrina Ionescu.
"I've been able to talk to her a lot through this process," Ionescu said. "Honestly, I went through something kind of similar in my career. My first year I didn't play due to injury, and then in my second year I had a few soft-tissue injuries. You look back and it's kind of a blessing in disguise because you're able to just learn and grow and understand it's just part of your journey."
Ionescu also gave Clark credit for being the face of the league, telling reporters "she means a lot more to the game than just showing up and playing."
If Clark was healthy this past weekend, she would've shared a backcourt with Ionescu. That being said, it's possible we'll see them join forces in the future.
On Sunday night, Ionescu shared photos from All-Star weekend in Indy. Her post received this comment from Clark: "looking real natural in that locker room."
There's no guarantee Clark and Ionescu will be teammates, but fans are certainly hoping that'll happen.
"Future teammates in Indiana," one fan replied.
"Splash sisters," another fan said.
"Please team up," a third fan wrote.
Ionescu has been outstanding for the New York Liberty, earning All-Star honors four times since 2020. It's hard to envision a world where she leaves the Big Apple for Indiana, but Clark might just be an excellent recruiter.

Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter Call Out Aaron Boone, Yankees After Loss to Marlins
Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter Call Out Aaron Boone, Yankees After Loss to Marlins originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There isn't a team under more pressure and a bigger microscope than the New York Yankees. While they hold a competitive 60-51 record, they're currently playing some of the sloppiest baseball of the season — and it's costing them. Just a few weeks ago, New York sat atop the AL East. But entering Sunday, after back-to-back losses to the Miami Marlins, they've slipped to third place behind the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox, trailing Toronto by 4 1/2 games. On Friday, the Yankees blew a 6-0 lead and lost 13-12, with three of their newly acquired trade deadline relievers giving up multiple earned runs. Then on Saturday, they were held scoreless in a 2-0 loss, highlighted by a costly baserunning blunder when Jazz Chisholm Jr. was doubled off at first base on an infield popup — a play that drew instant backlash from fans calling for manager Aaron Boone to bench him. Boone defended Chisholm postgame, but the scrutiny only intensified later that night when former Yankees legends Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter echoed the same frustrations during the "MLB on Fox" broadcast, criticizing the team's lack of accountability and overall sluggish play. 'You can't make this up,' Rodriguez said. 'I mean, look, you can bring in nine relievers, it's not going to make a difference. I don't care if you bring back their '98 bullpen with Mariano [Rivera], Mike Stanton, and Jeff Nelson, if your pitchers are going 3 1/3, 4 1/3 innings it's not going to work.' 'Where's the accountability?' Rodriguez added. 'If any one of us made a mistake, we would be sitting out right on the bench. I see mistake after mistake and there are no consequences.' Jeter echoed Rodriguez's honest, yet truthful comments about the 27-time World Series champions. 'They make way too many mistakes,' Jeter said. 'And you can't get away with making that number of mistakes against great teams. It just doesn't happen. They had baserunning mistakes today — you saw the guy getting thrown out at home plate. You can't continue to do it. You have to clean it up.' 'There are no excuses. You have to play better,' Jeter continued. 'If you don't play better, you're not going to go very far.'This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

Jets rookie TE Mason Taylor sidelined by high-ankle sprain
Jets second-round pick Mason Taylor won't be making his preseason debut this week. Taylor has been out of practice the last couple of days and head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters at a Tuesday press conference that the rookie is dealing with a high-ankle sprain. Glenn said that Taylor is out for at least a week as a result of the injury. Glenn also said that defensive tackle Byron Cowart has an ankle injury. Cowart was carted off at Tuesday's practice and edge rusher Will McDonald left the session with back spasms. Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor has missed practice with a knee injury, but Glenn said that the team does not believe that it is a serious issue.
