Maja Chwalinska and Sonay Kartal have both been rewarded for their runs to the Wuhan Open final.
Chwalinska beat Kartal 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 to win her first ever WTA **** le at the Wuhan Open, which is a 1000 level tournament.
This is another huge result in a breakout season for Chwalinska, who reached the Roland Garros final after coming through qualifying earlier this year.
While Kartal was unable to capture the **** le in Wuhan, both she and Chwalinska have now both made major moves in the latest update of the WTA rankings.
Chwalinska was the world number 22 coming into the Wuhan Open, having begun the season as the world number 146, and after beating the likes of Iga Swiatek, Iva Jovic and then Kartal in the final has taken it even further.

Inter Milan produced another rousing comeback to beat Udinese 5-3 at San Siro and continue their perfect start to the new Serie A campaign.
Udinese had taken a shock 2-0 lead through James Abankwah's early header and then a close-range strike from Jurgen Ekkelenkamp.
The Nerazzurri - who had come from 2-0 down to beat Napoli late on in their last Serie A game - fought back as Carlos Augusto drilled in a long-range effort and Nicolo Barella equalized before half-time.
Marcus Thuram's sweeping finish completed the turnaround in the 57th minute, before England defender John Stones - making a first start since his free transfer move from Manchester City - limped off having pulled up after chasing an Udinese breakaway.
Pio Esposito and substitute Ange-Yoan Bonny then wrapped things up, with Idrissa Gueye scoring a late consolation for the visitors, as Cristian Chivu's men kept pace with leaders Roma on a 100% record from four league games.

MADISON – Already in Week 2, the Wisconsin football team has been anything but immune to injuries at some key positions.
Wide receiver Malachi Coleman and linebacker Mason Posa both exited the Badgers' 36-9 win over Western Illinois with injuries. Posa could have returned if necessary, coach Luke Fickell said afterward, but Coleman could not.
Quarterback Colton Joseph, meanwhile, was "a little dinged up from last weekend," Fickell said in his postgame press conference. Fickell similarly said that running back Abu Sama III may have gotten "a little bit of a ding on the shoulder."
Those are in addition to first-team offensive lineman Emerson Mandell's continued absence as he recovers from an injury that he suffered in fall camp.
Fickell said that Joseph – the Old Dominion transfer who has been UW's presumed starter since January – was not ready to go in Tuesday's practice. (He took a significant hit in the Badgers' 41-13 loss to then-No. 5 Notre Dame.)

Michael Zagaris has spent more than half a century documenting the San Francisco 49ers, a career that began when he was a teenager sneaking into Kezar Stadium with homemade credentials and grew into an official role embedded with the team.
Zagaris said his access started early.
"Here's a picture I took at 11," he recalled, pointing to an image from his childhood.
Growing up near the College of the Pacific, he said, "This team sent 11 guys to the NFL."
By high school, he was already finding ways onto the field.

LONDON (AP) — The NFL will play a record nine games internationally this season and they include three cities hosting for the first time: Melbourne, Australia; Rio de Janeiro; and Paris.
Jacksonville and San Francisco both play two games abroad: the Jaguars back-to-back in London; the 49ers in Melbourne and later in Mexico City.
Here's some handy information about the games and locations.
The NFL's first international game of the season might be hard to top attendance-wise. Mike Evans, Demarcus Robinson and Deebo Samuel caught touchdown passes from Brock Purdy, and the San Francisco 49ers routed the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 in the NFL's first regular-season game in Australia. There were 100,021 fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the game, the seventh-largest regular season crowd in NFL history. It was the second-largest international NFL match by attendance, topped only in October 2005 when the 49ers lost 31-14 to the Arizona Cardinals before 103,467 fans at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
The league had never staged a regular-season game so far from home — it's a nearly 16-hour flight from the U.S. West Coast. The NFL West matchup kicked off at 10:35 a.m. local time Friday, Sept. 11, in Melbourne — which was 8:35 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10 on the U.S. East Coast.

After 99 days, No. 99 and one of MLB's biggest stars is back in action.
The Yankees have activated three-time American League Most Valuable Player and star outfielder Aaron Judge from the 60-day disabled list. Judge has been out of action with a fractured rib since early June, and his return brings back one of MLB's foremost fan attractions.
Already, ticket prices are quickly rising on the resale market for Judge's first game back, which will be Tuesday night at home against the Rockies. As of Tuesday morning, the average get-in price for the game was $87, more than twice the comparable level from Saturday and far higher than what a midweek game against a lowly Colorado team would normally fetch.
Anticipation is quickly rising for Judge's return after the longest injury of his storied career. Judge last played on May 31, and was placed on the injured list five days later. Judge is returning to major league play without any type of minor-league rehabilitation ****** ignment.
Notably, that Yankees-Rockies game previously saw a wild rise and fall in resale pricing, unrelated to Judge and his injury. The contest is also on the Yankees' promotion calendar, with the first 40,000 fans receiving a trading card from the Naruto manga series. Initial hype around that giveaway among manga fans briefly drove resale pricing for the game beyond $250 per ticket in early August. After the card design was revealed and the giveaway was expanded beyond an initial 18,000, demand plummeted.

Barcelona star Pedri has dismissed suggestions that he's not compatible with Rodri after Sunday's 5-0 win over Valencia.
The two Spain stars started the game at Mestalla and were part of a brilliant Barcelona performance that delivered a fourth straight La Liga win.
Pedri was asked for his thoughts afterwards and made it clear he's enjoying playing with Rodri at Barca.
"It has been said that we don't work together, but it's very comfortable playing with Rodri," he told Movistar.
"He hardly ever loses the ball and that helps a lot in defence. We're going to have a good understanding that will get even better with more and more games."

Austin FC is at least keeping the end of its MLS season interesting.
For the second straight week, the Verde and Black pulled out points in the match's final moments, this time using Guilherme Biro's goal to earn a 1-1 draw Saturday with the San Jose Earthquakes at Q2 Stadium.
And while Austin FC is still five points out of the ninth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference with two months and 11 contests to go, it turned in another solid performance that indicates it should be in every match the rest of the way.
Here are four key takeaways from the contest as Austin FC (6-10-7, 25 points, 14th West) has a quick turnaround with a Wednesday home match against Colorado.
Credit has to be given to Brandon Vazquez and Christian Ramírez for their short passes in the box that eventually got the ball to him, but Biro was the one who put the ball past Earthquakes goalie Angus Gunn from a tough angle. Gunn had been brilliant most of the night, but in the sixth minute of stoppage time and one of the final kicks of the game, Biro came through in the clutch.

A court date for Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been moved up to Sept. 10, according to online court records.
Jacobs, who is charged with misdemeanor counts of battery and criminal damage to property, was originally scheduled for an initial appearance on Nov. 17. That is the week of the Packers' bye.
Instead, he will make his first court appearance at 11 a.m. Sept. 10 in Brown County Circuit Court in Green Bay.
The charges stem from an incident on May 23 in Hobart. According to the criminal complaint filed Aug. 27:
Hobart-Lawrence Police Department officers at 8:37 a.m. May 23 responded to a Hobart home belonging to Jacobs for a reported disturbance between Jacobs and his girlfriend. Both Jacobs and the woman were not at the residence when officers first arrived.

Rafael Ribeiro / CBFCredits: Palmeiras and Vasco go after the ***** le
It's time to find out who will be the 2026 Brazilian U-20 champion. Palmeiras and Vasco face off this Friday (4), at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), at Nubank Parque, in São Paulo (SP), for the second and decisive leg of the final. After a 1-0 win in the first match at São Januário (look back here), in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Verdão takes the field with the advantage in the ***** le race.
Palmeiras' winning goal in the first game was scored by Erick Belé late in the first half. As a result, a draw is enough to secure the trophy for Verdão. If Vasco manage to win by a one-goal margin and level the aggregate score, the champion will be decided on penalties.
The advantage, however, does not mean peace of mind. Vasco showed in the first match that they can trouble their opponent and will now have 90 minutes to try to change the course of the final. The Rio side have reached the final for the first time in the history of the Brazilian U-20 Championship and need to win away from home to take the trophy back to São Januário.

Sep. 2—Fans will have the opportunity to see Gonzaga no fewer than five times at McCarthey Athletic Center this season during the team's nonconference schedule.
Gonzaga's fifth known home nonconference game will take place on either Nov. 10 or 11 against Incarnate Word, according to Rocco Miller of Bracketeer.com. A tipoff time and television details for the Incarnate Word matchup, as well as Gonzaga's four other home nonleague games, will be announced at a later date.
The Zags are squeezing the Incarnate Word game into the schedule between the Nov. 7 home opener against New Mexico State and a Nov. 14 matchup against LSU and first-year coach at Numerica Veterans Arena.
It will be only the second meeting between Gonzaga and Incarnate Word, which lost 103-68 at the Kennel during the 2017-18 season. Rui Hachimura and Zach Norvell Jr. scored a combined 35 points off Gonzaga's bench, with Josh Perkins adding 16 more points for the home team.
Incarnate Word is losing its top six scorers, including three players who averaged double digits, from last year's team that finished 12-19 overall and ninth in the Southland Conference with a record of 7-15.

The Los Angeles Lakers are now undoubtedly Luka Doncic's team, even though he has been with them for just over 18 months. LeBron James is now calling the Northeast home as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, and Doncic has already started to flex his leadership muscles.
He recently held a minicamp for his teammates in his native Slovenia, and in addition to basketball activities, everyone got to take part in some golf and other fun excursions. It was a nice gesture by Doncic as the team prepares for the upcoming NBA season and hopes to prove the pundits who are doubting it wrong.
Forward Ziaire Williams, who is one of nine new players on the Lakers' roster, had some very complimentary things to say about Doncic's leadership, via Benjamin Royer of the Southern California News Group.
"Williams said Doncic 'has big kid energy, like a young, youthful spirit,' adding that he could tell how much Doncic cared about winning games but also how much he cares about his teammates.
"'I can tell (Doncic's) leadership. He wants to step up even more this year,' Williams said. 'I'm excited, man. I'm really excited to play with him. And of course, when we're playing basketball, it's just he makes the game just so easy and looks so simple. He's going to make my life a lot easier for sure.'"

Real Madrid have made their position on Eduardo Camavinga clear ahead of the transfer deadline: the midfielder will not be allowed to leave for anything below €70 million.
According to AS, however, no proposal close to that figure has reached the Bernabéu so far, while Camavinga himself has never considered leaving the club.
That combination makes a late transfer increasingly unlikely.
Real Madrid have been working with a straightforward condition for deadline day – no new arrivals unless a player leaves first – and there is currently little indication of either happening.
Camavinga's situation is nevertheless one worth watching because Real Madrid have been open to listening to offers for the France international.

The Indiana Fever have clinched a spot in the 2026 WNBA playoffs, and it's thanks in large part to the outstanding play of their two guards, Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell, who are both having career years.
Clark is averaging 22.1 points and 8.3 ****** ists entering Friday night's game against the Connecticut Sun, while Mitchell is averaging 24.8 points while shooting 51% from the field and 45.5% from the three-point line.
As the regular season enters the home stretch, the Fever have begun launching social media campaigns for their players to win individual awards. However, for MVP, the social media admin couldn't decide which guard to highlight, and went with a video calling for both of them to receive the award.
Some fans, though, felt it was disrespecful to not champion Clark and Clark alone for the award, as she's the only player in the league who is top three in both points and ****** sits per game.
"You idiots. Professional sports is not a participation trophy for everyone scenario. This is not elementary school on the 1990's. Caitlin Clark needs to demand a trade before the 2027 season. The Fever are a joke franchise. She deserves to play for a professional organization," one fan posted on X.

One of the reasons the San Francisco Giants have liked Christian Koss so much is his baseball savvy. Against one of the team's top 2026 tormentors, the Diamondbacks, Koss' baserunning helped fuel a rare win against Arizona.
Hit by a pitch in the fifth, Koss dashed from first to third on Nate Furman's sacrifice bunt, realizing third baseman Jose Fernandez hadn't retreated fast enough to the bag. That set up Drew Gilbert's sacrifice fly to take a 2-1 lead, helping starter Landen Roupp snap his five-game losing streak. The Giants are now 2-8 against the Diamondbacks this season.
Jung Hoo Lee hasn't started two games in a row because of a bruised right elbow, but he pinch hit in the eighth Thursday and drew a 10-pitch walk. He scored on Bryce Eldridge's double and rookie outfielders Jonah ****** and Turner Hill provided RBI singles that inning, while third baseman Shay Whitcomb sent ****** in with a safety-squeeze bunt.
With Willy Adames likely out for the rest of the season with an elbow injury, Koss has started 27 of the past 28 games and has a plus-2 outs above average (OAA), an advanced Statcast metric. Adames, who has played through back issues this season, had a minus-17, tied for worst in the majors.
The Giants have Marcelo Mayer, acquired from Boston at the deadline, waiting in the wings. When he's ready to come off the injured list - he expects to be out of a walking boot for a bruised foot soon - Koss is likely to shift back to third, where he has also played well.

Purdue volleyball serves up a new challenge this season – no longer sneaking up on teams but proving it can meet top 10 expectations in a more competitive ***** e.
Coach Dave Shondell, who is 68 and signed a four-year contract extension in the offseason, said the Big Ten is much better this season and pointed to three of the ninth-ranked Boilermakers' first four matches are against top-20 teams. He also will be challenged with blending young talent to a returning core and redefining leadership, pointing to 10 of his 17 players having not played for Purdue in a regular-season match.
It also will be part of the first-of-its-kind college volleyball event in the Bahamas, where it will face either No. 11 SMU or No. 3 Kentucky, take part in the Big Ten/SEC challenge and a Big Ten Tournament hosted in Fishers. Purdue returns its core leadership with outside hitter Kenna Wollard, opposite Grace Heaney, setter Taylor Anderson and libero Ryan McAleer.
"I think that my approach has been a little bit different in that I'm expecting a little bit more from our team every day in practice than I did a year ago, which is kind of a dangerous move because last year whatever we did seemed to work," Shondell told IndyStar.
Ahead of first serve against No. 13 Creighton at 7 p.m. Friday on a neutral floor at the Sanford Pentagon, here are four things to watch with Purdue volleyball in 2026.

Aug. 26—PULLMAN — Since his arrival in Pullman from UC Davis eight months ago, two goals have been top of mind for Washington State's newly announced starting quarterback Caden Pinnick.
"Beat the team across the west and go get that Pac-12 championship," Pinnick said following WSU's Tuesday practice at Gesa Field, his first since being named a starter on Monday. "(That's) something that I echoed very clearly. I think we have a lot of guys here that feel the same way, offense and defense. They want it."
That's a pretty high bar for a sophomore starter to set, but Pinnick, last year's Big Sky Freshman of the Year, may have the work ethic to back it up.
Pinnick will get a chance to check off that first box during a unique Seattle Apple Cup at 1 p.m. Sept. 6 at the University of Washington.
"He's a really good learner in all aspects," said first-year WSU coach Kirby Moore, who also said it "was pretty dang cool" seeing Pinnick in WSU's academic center early Monday morning on the first day of school. "We talk about doing more than what's expected, so the (practice) film is going to be up here in about 20 minutes, and I'm sure he'll be watching it and texting his coaches and asking questions about the good things and maybe the ones that we can learn from."

Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady still has decisions to make regarding the final 53-man roster he will put together ahead of the 2026 NFL regular season.
However, plenty of those were already made and set in stone before he was named the head coach of the Bills.
Considering that, Brady will sit all of his starters during Buffalo's upcoming preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers right? Not so fast.
On Tuesday, Brady said some starters will be both suiting up and on the field against the Steelers.
"There will be some guys who are starters that are going to be playing in the game. That's going to be kind of a thing we're going to talk about after today's practice," Brady said.

EAST LANSING – Rodney Bullard Jr. gave Pat Fitzgerald the first victory of his Michigan State football career, even before his Spartans coaching debut.
It's a chance for the senior wide receiver to play the game he loves for one more year.
MSU's compliance department received word Monday, Aug. 24, that the NCAA reconsidered Bullard's appeal for an extra year and overturned its previous decision that rendered him ineligible. Fitzgerald learned about it on the field shortly before the practice as the Spartans were stretching, informing Bullard in front of his teammates.
RELATED: Couch: 3 quick takes on MSU's football team as the season approaches
The decision comes three days before Bullard and his attorneys were set to take college sports' governing body to court while seeking a "preliminary and permanent" injunction and "a temporary restraining order (if necessary)." That preliminary show-cause hearing was scheduled for Thursday in the 30th Circuit Court in Lansing.

Head coach John Harbaugh and general manager Joe Schoen face some excruciatingly difficult decisions when it comes to setting the New York Giants' season-opening 53-man roster. That is the most important 'thing I think' after Saturday's one-sided 26-3 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
"There's a lot of guys fighting for jobs on this team," Harbaugh said after the game. "And I thought they came out and they made a point to try to make their case. And they did a good job of it."
Here is a look at five of the places where decisions need to be made.
This really becomes the Tyrone Tracy question.
The addition of Najee Harris has changed the equation. Do the Giants have room to keep five running backs, including fullback Patrick Ricard?

Deshaun Watson said this week that he didn't care if Cleveland Browns fans booed him. It appears he might care a bit.
Watson was booed in Saturday's preseason game. There was a smattering of boos when he entered the game in the second half, from a small group of fans in its seats already. The boos were noticeable after Watson threw a bad interception in the second half.
Watson was not happy with what he called disrespect from the fans.
"I think the whole world knows, it has nothing to do about performance, It's a little bit [more] personal than that," Watson said after the game to the Cleveland media. "It's a disrespectful thing. I'm going to keep whatever I feel between me and my family."
Watson faced several lawsuits for **** ual misconduct when he arrived with Cleveland. He was suspended six games by the NFL for that. Watson has also drawn the ire of fans for not playing well after Cleveland acquired him in one of the biggest trades in NFL history, then signed him to a fully-guaranteed $230 million extension. Since the Browns traded for him in 2022, he has thrown only 19 touchdowns. Owner Jimmy Haslam called the trade a "big swing and miss" in March 2025, though the team is having Watson compete for a starting job this season.

Manchester City signed Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace during the January transfer window. Guehi made an immediate impact for Pep Guardiola's side last season and quickly established himself as a valuable piece of Manchester City's defence. Marc Guehi was a late arrival for Manchester City's preseason after his efforts for England at this summer's World Cup. Heading into the 2026-27 season, Guehi's leadership and composure loom as important components of Enzo Maresca's side.
It isn't a stretch to say barely any Manchester City players covered themselves in glory against **** nal in City's 3-0 defeat to **** nal in the FA Community Shield. Enzo Maresca's side looked short of a gallop against an **** nal side that looked determined to send a message. Marc Guehi came on for 37 minutes in the second half and he was by far and away City's best performing defender on the day. Guehi's performance against **** nal isn't the reason why he will be so important for Enzo Maresca. It was just further proof of this.
Marc Guehi is a leader as he was Crystal Palace's captain before he signed for Manchester City. City do need new leaders to emerge in the Enzo Maresca era. Guehi should be one of those despite the fact he has only been at City for less than a year. Marc Guehi isn't a demonstrative figure like Ruben Dias but his quiet manner of leadership should be important to his team.
At the back, and on the ball, Guehi offers the composure that Manchester City need. Abdukodir Khusanov is a better player with Guehi alongside him. The England international is a calming influence in Manchester City's defence. That will be a quality that Enzo Maresca will need to tap into. If you were drawing up Manchester City's best defence, Marc Guehi should be starting in it.
Marc Guehi offers attributes that the Manchester City defence. He is a proven quality centre-back and his composure and leadership will be vital for his team. Guehi looms as a crucial component of Enzo Maresca's side and it is likely that will start to reveal itself as soon as the 2026-27 season begins.

San Diego Padres starter Michael King deserved better than he got during a 4-2 loss to the New York Mets at Citi Field on Wednesday. The loss was the second of the series for the Padres who finished their two-city road trip with a 3-3 record against the Cleveland Guardians and the Mets.
King was still not the dominant ace the Friar Faithful have been waiting for him to be, but he was affective. The right-hander worked into the seventh inning, completing 6.2 innings. He allowed two runs on four hits with two walks and four strikeouts. King gave up the two runs on one swing of the bat by Carson Benge in the bottom of the fourth inning. King had two outs and worked to a 3-2 count against Benge before the rookie hit a two-run home run to left field that gave New York a 2-0 lead over San Diego.
The Padres got on the board in the top of the fifth inning when Tatis ripped a line drive double into left-center field that allowed Xander Bogaerts to score from second base to make the score, 2-1. San Diego had opportunities throughout the game to add to its total but never seemed to come up with the big hit in run-scoring situations.
The Padres fought until their last out or outs in this case. San Diego was trailing New York 4-1 in the top of the ninth inning and put two runners on with one out and Gavin Sheets delivered a pinch-hit single to drive in a run and make the score, 4-2. The Padres had runners at the corners with one out and pinch hitter Austin Hays was called on to face Mets reliever Kodai Senga.
Hays hit a ground ball back through the middle of the infield that was fielded by Mets second baseman Marcus Semian. He was able to step on the second base bag to force out Sheets and threw to first in time to get Hays to end the inning and the game.

AFC Sunderland are reported to have put the transfer of Toulouse FC's Dayann Methalie (20) on standby after the Frenchman failed to pass all stages of his medical, according to information from Le Parisien.
Whilst a tripartite agreement had been reached in recent hours for a deal valued at €30m including bonuses, the left-back's move to England could ultimately fall through. This is due to the discovery of a back problem deemed serious enough by the Black Cats to put the medical process on hold.
Back in France, Methalie will now undergo further tests to determine the nature and severity of his problems, before a decision is made on whether or not to finalise his transfer.
This is a huge blow for the 20-year-old, who had made Sunderland his top priority this summer, but also for Téfécé, who could see a particularly lucrative transfer – the most important in their history – slip through their fingers.

A new documentary shows the moment Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola told his players that he was "incredibly sad" that captain Kyle Walker had asked to leave the club.
In an emotional scene, the Spanish manager is also shown telling the players "you cannot behave" the way Walker did.
Former City defender Walker joined AC Milan on loan in January 2025, after asking his manager if he could leave the club for a fresh challenge.
A new Amazon Prime documentary series following Guardiola's final two years at the club captures the manager addressing his team just days after the defender's departure.
"So sad, what happened with Kyle," he says, before a home match with Chelsea.

As the reigning MVP, Matthew Stafford is no stranger to being called the best quarterback in the NFL right now, but maybe the order behind him is up for debate. Dave Portnoy released his top-10 quarterbacks list on Monday and the L.A. Rams' QB was first, unsurprisingly, but Lamar Jackson was nowhere to be found.
Instead, Portnoy had names like Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels above Joe Burrow, and Jalen Hurts above Lamar and Dak Prescott. Could you agree with this list as it is:
Even Drake Maye above Josh Allen is flat out incorrect, but Portnoy is a Patriots fan.
In my opinion.
Maye is going to experience a fall from near-MVP this season unless he gets dramatically better with A.J. Brown. His stats were inflated last season and then New England was gifted a trip to the Super Bowl with one of the easiest playoff schedules of modern times.

Madison Keys has run into a recurring problem involving close friend Jessica Pegula while competing at the Cincinnati Open. After winning her opening match at the WTA 1000 event, Keys humorously revealed how she has been dealing with being mistaken for her fellow American at the venue, days after experiencing a similar mix-up in Toronto.
After suffering a third-round exit at the Canadian Open, Keys kicked off her campaign for her second Cincinnati Open ******* le with a comeback win over Daria Snigur in the second round. The American responded strongly after losing the opening set and ultimately secured a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory to advance to the third round.
Appearing on Tennis Channel after her win, Keys revealed that she was constantly mistaken for Pegula around the tournament grounds. She humorously shed light on her preemptive method of avoiding the mix-up.
"It's gotten to the point where as I'm walking by, I just start yelling, 'I'm not Jess.' It's that bad. It happens all of the time. Like I get called Jess more than I get called myself," Keys said.
Keys' remarks follow on the heels of a hilarious mishap at the Canadian Open, when she arrived at a press conference only to find Pegula's name on the nameplate in front of her. The 31-year-old took the blunder in stride, joking about how often she is mistaken for her close friend and podcast co-host.

The WNBA is officially back, and as always, the Indiana Fever are the talk of the town.
Even entering her third season in the league, women's basketball fans can't get enough of Caitlin Clark. The point guard was plagued with injury throughout her sophomore campaign, only playing 13 total games. Clark is surely returning to the court with redemption top of mind.
Despite navigating a myriad of team injuries last year, the Fever were still able to push the eventual champion Aces to five games in the league semifinals. With the core of Clark, Aliyah Boston, Sophie Cunningham and Kelsey Mitchell all back in action, Indiana looks like it could be a top franchise in the WNBA this season.
Be sure to tune in for this team.

The Dallas Cowboys were officially back on the field for the first time in 2026 on Saturday, and so too were the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. There were certainly some moments that reminded us all this is just the first appetizer towards the main course of week one regular season football.
The Cowboys won this appetizer of a game 17-7, falling behind 7-0 after the Seahawks went down the field with a 13-play scoring drive that proved to be their biggest offensive highlight of the night. The Cowboys were the only team to score the rest of the game, with 14 of these points coming on insane highlight reel catches for touchdowns by UDFA wide receiver Camden Brown, one from Sam Howell and one from Joe Milton.
As we'll do after every single Cowboys contest this season, let's get to a few scouting notes on everything that went down between the Cowboys and Seahawks on Saturday night at Lumen Field.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer
On Dallas' first defensive possession to start the game, Caelen Carson and Shavon Revel Jr. were the two outside cornerbacks. Revel is technically a carryover from the failed Matt Eberflus defensive experiment of a year ago, but with so much missed time, he is primed to take to the coaching of Christian Parker and be the latest cornerback that takes leaps and strides under his secondary-focused coaching.
