Lynx: Bridget Carleton, Napheesa Collier, Alanna Smith, Kayla McBride, Courtney Williams
Brian Haenchen, IndyStar: Lynx 87-79
"The big variable here is, obviously, the status of Caitlin Clark. The Fever improved to 3-4 sans Clark this season with last Friday's win over the now-five-win Dallas Wings, but the first-place Lynx present an entirely different challenge. They'd lost only twice entering Sunday's game vs. Connecticut and have a veteran roster led by WNBA All-Star team captain Napheesa Collier.
"The Fever should be well-rested and I think that will help them keep it close, regardless of Clark's status. But that's a really, really good Lynx team and they should be especially dialed in with the (checks notes) Commissioner's Cup hanging in the balance."
She is out for the third game with a groin injury. She previously missed five games with a quad injury.

BC 39's first two-time winner came from back for consecutive victories: 'Gave it all I had'
INDIANAPOLIS — During Wednesday night's third qualifier race for the BC 39 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway dirt track, Cannon McIntosh's car was upside down near the Turn 3 fence. Just a few short hours later, the Bixby, Oklahoma native kissed the bricks on the wall after claiming his second consecutive victory in the 39-lap feature race on the fifth-mile oval, and becoming the first to win the BC 39 twice. McIntosh only led the final two laps of the race after getting the lead from Jacob Denney on a late restart. 'If he left it open, I was going to go attack,' McIntosh said. 'I was able to clear him (Denney) there and he crossed under, kind of hopped our wheel, didn't really know what was going to happen there and he didn't protect the second time, so I dove it off in there again and gave it all I had.' Second place finisher Gavin Miller pulled off a slide job on Denney going to the white flag and the light contact between the pair was enough to slow both down and allow the No. 71K Keith Kunz Motorsports machine to win. Tuesday night's preliminary feature winner Justin Grant started the race from the pole and led the race's first 36 laps but late contact on the front stretch with Denney punctured the California native's left front tire. The pair had contact again on the back stretch before another yellow flag for multiple stopped cars exiting Turn 2. 'I don't think (Grant) knew I had that big of a run coming down the front stretch when we hit and then I slid him down to one,' Denney said. 'I smoked the curb. I didn't know he was there and we hit again. So I don't feel like it's any of our fault. It's just hard racing for the win there and both weren't going to give an inch just enough for each other to not crash. So it was a good race with him.' On the ensuing restart, Denney led McIntosh and Miller as the trio headed to the first turn. McIntosh went underneath Denney to pull off a slide job and nearly cleared the Ohio native but the pair had contact exiting Turn 2. Denney went high again going into Turn 3 and that time McIntosh made the pass stick en route to victory. Insider: How Andretti Global is making a midseason shop switch into IndyStar's old printing center For McIntosh, it was all about proving that his crew guys were the best. The team replaced numerous parts on the car after determining that a backup car would not be needed following his flip in the third qualifier race. McIntosh then started fourth in the B-Main which he won to advance to the feature where he started 19th. 'If that car fired off tonight, we had a chance,' McIntosh said. 'Those guys have worked hard and gave me a great piece and I truly couldn't have done it without them and their hard work. They could have given up on me and gotten it back out there and not put much effort into it and thought, 'Yeah, well he's out of it, he is just not showing up today.' But they worked their butts off and they believe in me. So it comes down to me doing my job there at the end. They gave me a winning car. It was up to me to go do the job and I'm just thankful we were able to do it.' IMS president Doug Boles was on hand to hand McIntosh his tie after McIntosh's victory. He was upbeat about the race and its future at the dirt track. 'We've never really had a contract, it's a handshake deal and they'll definitely be back next year,' Boles said. 'We'll just figure out the right date. Hopefully we can get ahead of that, you know, get people to know earlier. This is the first time we've done a Tuesday-Wednesday show. So we've got to figure out how that is and, and figure out what the right date is for it.' Boles had to juggle the BC 39's date with the dirt track's debut in Indiana Sprint Week on July 24, and that had other logistical hurdles. The track's biggest expense for hosting the races is in renting the temporary grandstands that must be rented, built up and torn down for both the BC 39 and the Sprint Week race in three weeks' time. Insider: 5 thoughts on IndyCar's new car, what it could mean for the sport's future, paddock insight But that expense doesn't dampen Boles' enthusiasm for the BC 39. 'For me, this is my second favorite day of the year,' Boles said. 'And to continue to have this, I think it's just great grassroots racing, great way to stay connected to USAC and obviously the connection of our organization and USAC goes way back. So that's really, really important for us.' As for McIntosh, sweeping the dirt races at IMS would be on his bucket list for 2025. 'I don't have anything planned or lined up, but I sure would like to, but yeah, we'll see,' McIntosh said. 'Maybe something will come about, maybe this interview will make it out there and something happens.'

WNBA Coach Makes Strong Statement After Unexpected Roster Decision
WNBA Coach Makes Strong Statement After Unexpected Roster Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. WNBA teams have been making roster changes daily with the return of those who were involved in the FIBA AmeriCupW. Advertisement Several players around the league took some time away from their respective teams to represent their home country. Former Golden State Valkyries guard Julie Vanloo participated in the EuroBasket games with Team Belgium. After helping Team Belgium earn a medal, she traveled back to Golden State to continue the 2025 WNBA season. Despite her travels, Vanloo was released from the team. Upon arriving in Golden State, Vanloo was waived, a decision that fans have questioned. While the timing of the release has been an issue for some fans on social media, given Vanloo's long trip back to California, Valkyries head coach Natalie Nakase recently shared her thoughts on the subject. Advertisement "From my perspective, I thought it was respectful because whenever a situation like that happens, you bring them in and as an adult you say thanks face to face," Nakase said, per Kenzo Fukuda. Julie Vanloo took to social media after she was released from the Golden State Valkyries. She mentioned that she was taken aback by the Valkyries' decision, especially so sudden after her return to Golden State. "After traveling 18 hours back to the Bay, I missed the fan ceremony and the chance to share that special medal moment with my family and friends," Vanloo said. "I got back to San Fran as soon as I could. I left the party in the middle of the night after the game… To hear 1 hour upon arrival: we have to waive you. Honestly, that stung. I understand it's business, but nothing prepares you for the loneliness that comes with getting cut. It feels like the whole world suddenly crashes on your shoulders."

Angel Reese Reacts to Kamilla Cardoso News on Wednesday
Angel Reese Reacts to Kamilla Cardoso News on Wednesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky have struggled to begin the 2025 WNBA season, securing a 5-11 record through 16 games, good for fifth in the Eastern Conference. Advertisement Still, the Sky appear to have turned a corner in their last three games, going 2-1 during that stretch. However, they've been without center Kamilla Cardoso for the past two, with Elizabeth Williams recently stepping into the starting role. Cardoso temporarily left Chicago to join the Brazil National Team for the Women's AmeriCup in Chile. And Cardoso continued to shine. In Brazil's 106-49 win over El Salvador, Cardoso tallied 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting and 10 rebounds, marking her second double-double of the group stage. The FIBA Women's AmeriCup shared Cardoso's latest statline on Instagram with the caption: "Another day, another double-double for Kamilla Cardoso 💪." Advertisement Reese reacted to her teammate's performance by sharing the AmeriCup's post on her Instagram Story.

Through those four games, Cardoso averaged 11.8 points and 9.0 rebounds per game. Her teammate, Damiris Dantas, who also plays for the Indiana Fever, ranks second in AmeriCup scoring at 18.8 points per game. Although the Sky have struggled this season, Cardoso has shown growth in her second year in the WNBA. The 6-foot-9 center out of South Carolina is averaging 12.7 points on 56.1% shooting, along with 6.6 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game, all while playing more than four minutes fewer per night compared to her rookie season.
