The Indiana Fever were confident about facing the Chicago Sky on Sunday as they were the more dominant side in their previous two meetings. However, the results didn’t go as per their expectations and a tiny part of the blame falls on Caitlin Clark.

The point guard who usually impresses basketball lovers with her phenomenal shooting skills might have disappointed some with her decision not to shoot in the crucial moments of the game. Following the 87-88 loss, Clark justified her action.

Addressing the matter in the post-game press conference, the 22-year-old stated, “I’m sure there was an opportunity or two for me to probably attempt another shot there at the end, but I trust my teammates… I’m gonna give them the ball every time.”

There was a particular instance in the final quarter when Clark seized a defensive rebound. She quickly ran with the ball to the other side of the court but, instead of aiming for the bucket, she looked around to pass the ball to her teammates. Clark found Kristy Wallace, but her shot stubbornly refused to hit the target.

That was not it. The ball was still with the Fever. However, the former Iowa guard passed it on to Aliyah Boston. Clark might not have won the game, but she surely won the hearts of her teammates.

Clark put up 17 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists and 4 steals on the Indiana scoreboard, but it wasn’t enough to beat the Sky.

Her journey in the WNBA has been anything but smooth, with all the attention, criticism and altercations. One more added to the list with her recent injury.

Caitlin Clark Provides Injury Update

Prior to Sunday’s game, Caitlin Clark disclosed to the media the consequences she had to face while going up against tough opponents.

While speaking about welcome moment in the league, Clark said, “I actually ruptured my ear drum when we were in New York on a tough screen….great screens, I just didn’t hear them. So, it’s kind of my own fault.”

The rookie hinted at the clash against the NY Liberty earlier this month. During the final quarter of the game, Clark went up the court and hit straight into the screen set by Liberty’s Jonquel Jones.

She soon left for the locker room after picking up an ear injury and on returning Clark remained on the bench for the rest of the game. The game resulted in a 104-68 win for the home team.

Kayla Nicole appeared to respond to Taylor Swift’s latest stunt with her ex-boyfriend.

Swift performed on Sunday, the third and final night of the Eras tour’s London stop, and surprised everybody when she brought out her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Kelce, dressed in a tailcoat and top hat, could be seen sweeping the pop star off her feet during the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” transition of Swift’s show at Wembley Stadium.

The moment went incredibly viral:

On social media, Nicole, who was previously attached to Kelce from 2017 to 2022, took to her Instagram and posted herself in a body-hugging silver dress that didn’t leave much to the imagination as her flat stomach and wide hips were pushed out in the glittering dressNicole made sure to give several pictures showing every single side of the dress and her body.


Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce never stated publicly why they decided to end their relationship, but they did deny rumors that it was over the Chiefs tight end being cheap and him forcing her to go 50-50 on paying for things.

Kelce refuted reports that he and longtime girlfriend Kayla Nicole split because he made her pay for “half of everything.”

“How crazy is that?” he said on “The Pivot” podcast. “Don’t buy into that s-t!”

“I would never say that I was supporting her,” Kelce told hosts Channing Crowder, Fred Taylor, and Ryan Clark. “She had a very financially stable life and what she was doing in her career. You’ve got to be crazy if you think I’d never helped or gave her a couple dollars to grab some food or she gave me some money… We were in a relationship for five years. A hundred dollars here and hundred dollars there wasn’t even thought about, which is ridiculous.”

Kayla Nicole also shot down those rumors as well.

“Not sure where y’all got this nonsense from, but it’s absurd and very false,” the Savage x Fenty ambassador tweeted in May 2022.
