WNBA Player Embarrassingly Denied Entry At Club After All-Star Game
A WNBA All-Star had an embarrassing time trying to get into a club while in Indianapolis for the All-Star Weekend.
While streaming on Twitch, Minnesota Lynx guard Courtney Williams tried to get into a nightclub, but the bouncer wouldn't let her cut the line. Williams appeared almost outraged that the security personnel wouldn't give her any VIP treatment.
"Bruh, we in the 'W' and (expletive) and we just got done at the All-Star Game," Williams said. "So, I'm sorry, I'm not even trying to be funny but we should not be waiting in no line."
Things got a little more awkward later that night when Williams apparently went to Sports Illustrated party featuring world-renown DJ Diplo. Williams apparently demanded at one point that Diplo stop playing EDM music and change the music playlist to some hip-hop.
While some fans took issue with Williams acting entitled, Diplo took it in stride:
"I loved this party and I love a challenge as a dj. I was booked with the amazing @carlypearce . we had a country vibe going - if all the studs and WNBA All Stars want to turn up I'm goin to run it .. its not hard for me to go from country/ house / hip hop and take everyone on a journey and be as inclusive as possible . If Courtney comes with this energy I'm gonna match it - check my setlist from Saturday night in Indiana.. its a party for everyone where else but mid west America can we do this?" he wrote on X.
For most of the rest of the world, Williams has now become a pretty polarizing player.
She has no shortage of fans and is currently enjoying one of the best seasons of her career. But many new WNBA fans have quickly found that they're just not her target audience (to put it very mildly).
All it all, it was a pretty good weekend for Williams on the court. Off the court, maybe not as much.WNBA Player Embarrassingly Denied Entry At Club After All-Star Game first appeared on The Spun on Jul 22, 2025

Guardians' Emmanuel Clase placed on leave amid sports betting probe
1 of 5 | Cleveland Guardians pitcher Emmanuel Clase was placed on non-disciplinary paid leave through Aug. 31. File Photo by Aaron Josefczyk/UPI | License Photo July 28 (UPI) -- Cleveland Guardians pitcher Emmanuel Clase was placed on non-disciplinary paid leave amid an MLB sports betting investigation, the league announced Monday. "Per an agreement with the MLBPA, Cleveland Guardians pitcher Emmanuel Clase has been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave through games on Aug. 31 while MLB continues its sports betting investigation," the league said in a statement. The 27-year-old is the second Guardians pitcher placed on leave amid the probe, joining starter Luis Ortiz. MLB announced earlier this month that Ortiz's leave was extended through Aug. 31. Clase, 27, earned his 24th save of the season in the Guardians' 6-4 win over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday in Kansas City, Mo. The three-time All-Star was 5-3 with a 3.23 ERA over his first 48 appearances this season. Clase led the American League in saves in 2022, 2023 and 2024. He was 4-2 with a career-best 0.61 ERA over 74 appearances in 2024, when he totaled a career-high 47 saves. Clase led MLB with 42 and 44 saves, respectively, in 2022 and 2023. The right-handed relief pitcher went 21-26 with a 1.88 ERA and 182 saves through the first seven years of his career. He was suspended for 80 games -- the entire season -- in 2020 for testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug. The Guardians (52-53) sit in second place in the American League Central, eight games behind the division-leading Detroit Tigers (61-46). They will host the MLB-worst Colorado Rockies (27-78) at 6:40 p.m. EDT Monday in Cleveland.

Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase placed on leave under MLB gambling probe
All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase has been put on indefinite paid leave as part of a sports betting investigation by Major League Baseball that has already implicated fellow Cleveland Guardians pitcher Luis L. Ortiz. ESPN was first to report the move, with the Guardians confirming it in a social media post on Monday, July 28, saying Clase was "placed on non-disciplinary paid leave per an agreement with the Players Association." The team added that "no additional players or Club personnel are expected to be impacted." Clase had one of the best seasons by a relief pitcher in baseball history in 2024, converting 47 saves in 50 opportunities and posting a 0.61 ERA in 74 ⅓ innings. He finished third in the AL Cy Young voting behind winner Tarik Skubal and runner-up Seth Lugo. This season, he's racked up 24 saves, but with a 3.23 ERA. Ortiz was put on leave July 3, after ESPN reported that two of his pitches – both sliders far outside the strike zone in games on June 15 and June 27 – received unusual gambling activity. The league did not specify what the investigation was about, but said in a statement Ortiz "has been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave through the end of the All-Star break." Although the break has concluded, Ortiz has yet to return to the Guardians' active roster.
