Liberty's Sabrina Ionescu says Caitlin Clark 'means a lot more to the game' amid All-Star heartbreak
New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu lamented Caitlin Clark's latest injury that sidelined the Indiana Fever guard from All-Star weekend festivities, but she told reporters Friday that Clark's contributions will still be felt at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Clark was ruled out of Wednesday night's game against the Liberty with a groin injury, her third injury of the season. It was enough to sideline the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year from this weekend's All-Star events, where she was due to compete in the 3-point contest Friday and the All-Star Game Saturday. Even so, Ionescu told reporters during a news conference Friday the Clark effect will still be in full effect. "Obviously, it's really unfortunate that we don't have her, but she means a lot more to the game than just showing up and playing. I think you're able to see that with just the excitement in Indy right now, regardless of if she's playing or not." Ionescu added she understands the frustrations Clark is experiencing being sidelined as the Fever prepare to host All-Star weekend. "Obviously, we're good friends. I've been able to talk to her a lot through this process. Honestly, I kind of went through something similar in my career. My first year I didn't play due to injury, and my second year I had three to four soft tissue injuries that I was dealing with. 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 all a part of your journey," she said. "Just trying to be that sound board for her and that voice having gone through something kind of similar." Liberty coach Sandy Brondello, who will coach Team Clark in Saturday's game, echoed Ionescu's comments, reassuring fans that Clark will still be a dominant presence even from courtside. "She's still going to have a great impact on this team. I will give the coaching hat to her as much as she wants, to be quite honest," Brondello said with a laugh. "We're going to play around with it a little bit. It'll be fun. I think you've seen it with the Fever. She's been very active on the sideline when she wasn't playing. So, we'll utilize that as well." The WNBA announced that Washington Mystics guard Brittney Sykes and Atlanta Dream forward Brionna Jones will replace Clark and an injured Satou Sabally in the game this weekend. Both will play for Brondello. The Fever announced Friday that Lexie Hull will replace Clark in the 3-point contest.

Terrelle Pryor's lawsuit against Ohio State, NCAA and Big Ten dismissed
A judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor had filed against the school, the NCAA and the Big Ten over denied compensation for name, image and likeness during his college career. Chief Judge Sarah D. Morrison of the Southern District of Ohio granted the plaintiffs' motion to dismiss, ruling Ohio State is covered by sovereign immunity and Pryor's claims were made outside the four-year statute of limitations for an antitrust lawsuit. Advertisement 'Mr. Pryor failed to assert his claims for injunctive relief within the four-year statutory period. And he makes no argument to rebut the presumption that allowing his claims to proceed would be unreasonable and prejudicial to Defendants,' Morrison wrote. Pryor sued his alma mater in October on the heels of former Southern California star and Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush filing a similar suit against USC and the NCAA, and several former Michigan players targeting the NCAA and the Big Ten Network. Pryor was a high-profile recruit from Pennsylvania and Ohio State's starting quarterback from 2008 to 2010. He passed for 6,177 yards, ran for 2,164 and accounted for 74 touchdowns during his time as a Buckeye. His college career ended 11 years before the NCAA lifted its ban on athletes being paid for use of their name, image and likeness. Pryor's lawsuit did not specify damages being sought, but claimed the rules of the time cost athletes like Pryor millions of dollars and that the defendants were still making money off their exploits by replaying historic moments for promotional activities. His college career ended amid an NCAA investigation into rules violations by Pryor and some of his teammates for trading their equipment, memorabilia and autographs for tattoos and cash. Instead of serving a potential five-game suspension in his senior year, Pryor entered the 2011 NFL Supplemental Draft. He was selected by the Oakland Raiders and given a five-game suspension to start his NFL career. Since the NCAA changed its rules to allow college athletes to earn money through sponsorship and endorsement deals, high-profile athletes have routinely earned hundreds of thousands of dollars — even millions — in NIL compensation. A recent antitrust lawsuit settlement will pay $2.8 billion in damages to former and current college athletes who were denied NIL compensation, dating back to 2016. The settlement agreement also cleared the way for schools to begin directly compensating athletes, starting this year.
