Fever's Sophie Cunningham clarifies controversial WNBA expansion take
"First of all, I know the history behind the WBA. I know that both of those cities have had teams before, and what they got us, and I'm thankful for that," Cunningham expressed.
"All I was really getting at is, like, Broadway [Nashville], the off-court lifestyle, and so I think that is really intriguing. I think Miami's intriguing. That's all I was getting at. I'm thankful for what they've done for the history of the sport. I think it'd be fun to kind of get some teams outside the NBA market. I do think there is a benefit when you do have an NBA team, but that's all I was getting at.
"I think people totally misread that situation. I would never speak down upon middle-class, blue-collar working people. That's where I come from. I'm from Missouri. I get I'm in Indiana, and that's kind of why I'm hinting that, Broadway sounds fun, SoFi in Miami sounds fun. All I was getting at."
Cunningham and the Fever (9-8) return to action on Saturday evening at 6 p.m. CT with a date against the Los Angeles Sparks on NBA TV.

ESPN analyst slammed for saying Fever is 'more dangerous' without Caitlin Clark amid injury absence
Amid Caitlin Clark's extended injury absence from the Indiana Fever, at least one media pundit has suggested the team is better without the superstar. ESPN's Carolyn Peck said on the network on Thursday that Indiana is a "more dangerous" team without Clark on the floor. "I think that Indiana is even more dangerous when Caitlin Clark doesn't play, because she's a ball-dominant guard," she said. "The ball's in her hands a lot, so you know what you need to try to take away. But when you look at Indiana now, they've got so many weapons." Peck gave specific praise to Fever players Kelsey Mitchell, Aari McDonald and Aliyah Boston. Peck did not appear to give praise to Fever stars Sophie Cunningham or Lexie Hull. "When you have a point guard like Kelsey Mitchell, and Aari McDonald making plays on the perimeter, and a post like Aliyah Boston, I'm gonna tell you: Indiana, they are a threat. And it's specifically on the defensive end," Peck said. Peck's comments went viral on social media, inciting the wrath of Clark's loyal supporters. Barstool founder Dave Portnoy reposted the clip of Peck's comments on X, writing, "I knew this was gonna happen." The popular sports commentary X account "BricksCenter" also shared the clip, writing, "Their hatred toward CC needs to be studied." Hundreds of smaller accounts made their criticisms of Peck's analysis known. "ESPN would be a lot more 'dangerous' without Carolyn Peck," one user wrote. Another user wrote, "All of Peck's takes on CC last year ended being wrong and I don't expect anything different from this season." One user even went so far as to say, "ESPN analyst Carolyn Peck is a hater and a fool." Peck was the women's basketball head coach at Purdue when current Fever head coach Stephanie White was a player there. Together, they won the NCAA title in 1999. Clark has missed the team's last four games with a groin injury and will miss a fifth on Saturday against the LA Sparks. She previously missed five games with a quad injury. With Clark, Indiana is 5–4, averaging an 85.0 offensive rating. Without Clark, the team is 5–4 with an average 80.2 offensive rating. In games she has played, Clark is averaging 18.2 points, 8.9 assists and 5.9 turnovers. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Free agency slows, but are the biggest NBA moves still coming?
The Pulse Newsletter 📣 | This is The Athletic's daily sports newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Pulse directly in your inbox. Good morning! We hope you executed a sign-and-trade to acquire some hot dogs. NBA free agency is more or less over. It's a funny thing to say, given that nobody can officially sign a new deal until tomorrow at 12:01 p.m. ET. There are still a few loose ends to tie up, particularly in the market for restricted free agents like Jonathan Kuminga, whom the Warriors are trying to convert into a small ransom. But after a few days of intense dealmaking, most of the league's most notable players have a home for 2025-26. Advertisement John Hollinger argues that the trade deadline is now more exciting than free agency, and he's right. But news of this year's splashiest acquisition so far came neither at the deadline nor in the free agency negotiating window of the past week. Instead it came on June 22, when the Rockets' trade for Kevin Durant became public. That deal may become bigger in the next few days, and the term 'seven-team trade' could become a part of the professional sports lexicon. It's worth bookmarking our big moves tracker as deals trickle in. But could there be a really big one coming? LeBron James' future with the Lakers is uncertain enough that Fred Katz wrote up a detailed index of potential trade destinations. The Bucks' waiving of an injured Damian Lillard and signing of Myles Turner — a really interesting two-step, by the way — do not at all suggest they're giving up. The opposite, if anything. Yet the chances of a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade still seem higher than zero. Much has happened. How much has changed? To take stock of how the league has shifted, we've got Hollinger and Bounce newsletter author Zach Harper here for a quick survey. The non-Thunder favorites to come out of the West? Likelier to move: Giannis or LeBron? The worst team Giannis could credibly take to the finals: One move that will age like fine wine: One move that will age like spoiled milk: Harper's July 4 favorite in the East, by the way, is the Magic.

Chestnut wins 17th Mustard Belt In a surprise to no one, Joey Chestnut dominated the field in his return to the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest after a one-year hiatus. Chestnut ate 70.5 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, a ridiculous 24 hot dogs clear of second place.

Shelton completes Wimbledon win in one minute American Ben Shelton won his second-round match at Wimbledon yesterday in 70 seconds. Well, sort of. With Shelton one game from victory Thursday night, officials halted his match against Rinky Hijikata due to darkness. The two returned to the court yesterday, warmed up for a couple minutes, played four points and that was that. A bizarre situation. More headlines from Wimbledon Day 5 and tomorrow's matches to watch in our daily recap. 📺 WNBA: Sparks at Fever 7 p.m. ET on NBA TV We'll see if a Commissioner's Cup win gave Indiana, now seeking its fourth straight win, a spark. (No pun intended, genuinely.) Caitlin Clark is rehabbing a groin strain. 📺 MLB: Astros at Dodgers 7 p.m. ET on Fox Framber Valdez vs. Shohei Ohtani is both a pitchers' duel and a thrilling head-to-head at-bat that we should see two or three times. The Astros won 18-1 last night. Daniel Taylor and Guillermo Rai put together a moving piece on the levels of heartbreak the soccer world is experiencing in the wake of Diogo Jota's death. No good way to transition out of that one, but here are our holiday weekend recs: My July Fourth weekend necessities: The Only Ice Cream Recipe You'll Ever Need + rewatching 'Independence Day,' a 10/10 blockbuster with Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman in peak performance, in which the only threat to America is the extraterrestrial kind! — Hannah Vanbiber Advertisement This grill brush lives up to the hype.

Boston Celtics jersey history No. 26 - Toby Kimball (1966-67)
The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover. And for today's article, we will continue with the first of 10 people to wear the No. 26, Boston forward alum Toby Kimball. After ending his college career at UConn, Kimball was picked up with the 29th overall selection of the 1965 NBA draft by the Celtics. The Framingham, Massachusetts native would play the first season of his NBA career with Boston, coming to an end when he was was picked up by the (then) San Diego (now, Houston) Rockets in the 1967 NBA expansion draft. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Kimball wore only jersey No. 26 and put up 2.6 points, and 3.8 rebounds per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.
