A 25-year-old Southern Indiana woman is dead after a shooting in New Albany Saturday morning, New Albany Police said.

Officers responded to the area of 131 Village Drive around 5 a.m. and discovered a woman, identified as Kaitlyn Lee of New Albany, dead in the residence from a gunshot wound, New Albany Chief of Police Todd Bailey said.

A suspect, later identified as Joshua Thompson, 25, of New Albany, is in custody on murder charges, and the preliminary investigation determined Lee and Thompson had a preexisting relationship, Bailey said.

In an interview with Mark Medina of Sportskeeda, NBA agent Todd Ramasar discussed the relationship between his client, Andrew Nembhard, and the Indiana Pacers. Nembhard received a contract extension from the Pacers last month.

“The team has always valued Andrew as being one of their own and has always seen him as an integral part,” Ramasar said. “That’s what led to the extension being done now.”

In total, it was a three-year extension agreement worth just under $59 million in total. When combined with a declined team option, it ties Nembhard to Indiana through the 2027-28 season — lining up his timeline with players like Aaron Nesmith, Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, and more.

Nembhard proved to be an excellent piece for the blue and gold last season and shined in the playoffs. He averaged 14.9 points and 5.5 assists per game in the postseason, including two excellent games in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics. He has shown up on the biggest stage at every turn in his basketball life, something Ramasar pointed out to Medina.

“It’s nothing new for Andrew to step up in those big moments. Anyone who has been following Andrew’s career going back to Gonzaga, Andrew hit a big shot at my alma mater at UCLA that led them to the championship game,” Ramasar said. “As a rookie, he hit a game-winning shot against the Lakers. He went into Golden State and had a big game there. He’s always contributing to winning basketball.”

Nembhard averaged 9.2 points and 4.1 assists per game last season. He battled injuries and faced many role changes early in the campaign, but once he settled in, he was rock solid. He just wrapped up Olympic play with Canada, where he showed his adaptability. Nembhard’s agent shared that he believed the Olympics would make his client better.

An extension made too much sense for Indiana. They needed to keep the young guard around, and he is still getting better. Retaining him for starter-level money now, before multiple expected jumps in the salary cap, is a good bit of business for the Pacers.

“I think it’s good for both sides. I think in a year or two that people are going to say it’s a bargain for the Pacers and maybe even after next season. But it’s security for Andrew, which you don’t always see for a second-round pick,” Ramasar said of the contract extension.

Ramasar also shared thoughts on Nembhard playing next to Haliburton and more details about his client learning from experience in the playoffs. The entire interview can be read here, and it includes many notes and thoughts about Siakam, too. He is also Ramasar’s client.

When the Indiana Fever drafted Caitlin Clark, it was clear that they were getting a generational superstar.

She is the most popular women’s basketball player in the history of the game and the impact of that fact has been felt by how much viewership the WNBA has received this season.

Clark has become a fan favorite to many and hated by many others. She is one of the most polarizing athletes ever seen in professional sports.

During her college career, Clark broke record after record. She also was extremely successful in the NIL marketplace.

After everything was said and done, On3 had given here a massive NIL valuation of $3.4 million.

Following her impressive career on and off the court in college, the leap to the WNBA has proven to be one that she has handled very well. However, there are many who are waiting and hoping that she fails.

Thankfully, Clark has found a way to rise above the hate and criticism. She has simply focused on playing basketball.

In her rookie season with the Fever, Clark has played in 26 games, averaging 17.1 points per game to go along with 8.2 assists, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. She has averaged 5.6 turnovers per game, which needs to come down. In addition to those averages, Clark has shot 40.5 percent from the floor and 32.7 percent from the three-point line.

All of that being said, Clark was recently honored at the Iowa State Fair with a cool, but also a weird thing. A butter sculpture was made of her.

That’s right, a sculpture, made of legitimate butter, was unveiled.

Simply being able to make something like that out of butter is an amazing feat in and of itself. However, it also shows just how popular Clark has become.

While she didn’t end up making the Olympic team this year, she did make the WNBA All-Star Game. She’s also in the middle of competing for the Rookie of the Year award, with Angel Reese being her primary competition. The WNBA Playoffs are also something she’s trying to lead Indiana to.

It will be interesting to see what the future has in store for Clark. Hopefully, she will continue living up to the hype on the court and become the all-time superstar that she has been built up to be.

All of that being said, the impact she has made on women’s sports deserves to be recognized. There will always be haters and critics, but Clark has done an amazing job of being a beacon for women’s basketball and sports in general and she has carried herself in the right way.
