Caitlin Clark has increased the WNBA’s visibility since joining the Indiana Fever.
She is also making an impact on the court, earning Rookie of the Month honors for May. She averaged 17.6 points and 6.6 assists in 33 minutes per game over her first nine games. Her high scoring game was 30 on May 28 against Los Angeles.
Clark tied Diana Taurasi for the league lead with 24 3-pointers made in May, and Clark was second in assists (59) and tied for second in free throws made (42).
Fever coach: Flagrant foul on Caitlin Clark was ‘non-basketball play.’
Aliyah Boston won the Rookie of the Month honor three times in 2023, and Natalie Achonwa did once in 2015.
The Fever next play at Washington on Friday.
The Chicago Bears this weekend said they are assessing land at Wolf Lake Terminals in Hammond, Indiana, for a possible new stadium.
The Northwest Indiana Times reported that soil drilling equipment was spotted near the site, located west of the Indiana Toll Road (Interstate 90) in Hammond.
Logistics and storage facilities are currently located on the site, the paper reported.
“This activity is part of the normal site evaluation process as we continue to advance our stadium development project in Hammond,” the Bears said in a statement issued to CBS News Chicago. “We have an excellent option already in place and continue to assess additional parcels of land in the Wolf Lake region to ensure we place the stadium and mixed-use district in the very best location to serve all of Chicagoland.”
Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. is staying tight-lipped on the search, but said he is confident the Bears are heading to Indiana.
Earlier this month, the team announced the plan to build a new stadium complex in Hammond.
A bill passed by Indiana lawmakers calls for $1 billion in taxpayer money to be put toward infrastructure around the stadium, which officials said would support plans for retail, restaurants and residential units to be built around the stadium complex.
The Bears say they are also continuing negotiations with Illinois lawmakers.
INDIANAPOLIS — Kelsey Mitchell scored 26 points and the Indiana Fever thumped the Sparks 111-87 with two of the league’s top scorers sidelined on Saturday night.
Caitlin Clark, averaging 21.2 points and 8.2 assists for Indiana (11-8), missed the game with a back injury but shouldn’t be sidelined for long, according to coach Stephanie White.
Kelsey Plum, second in the league with a 23.9 points per game scoring average, is expected to miss at least four weeks for the Sparks (8-10) with an injury to her left leg.
Nneka Ogwumike had 17 points and seven rebounds and Dearica Hamby scored 15 for the Sparks, who became the first team in league history to surrender 110-plus points in back-to-back games.
Mitchell made nine of 13 shots — four of six from three-point range — and all four of her free throws. She hit two three-pointers and added a three-point play in the third quarter, scoring 13 to help Indiana up its lead to 33 before cruising to the finish.
Aliyah Boston scored 15 of her 17 points and grabbed all seven of her rebounds in the first half to help Indiana build a 57-37 advantage. Tyasha Harris — starting in place of Clark — scored 16, while Monique Billings added 15 points. The Fever shot 55.2% overall while making 10 of 19 from distance and 27 of 33 at the foul line.
