Dallas Mavericks Hosting NBA Draft Watch Party
The Dallas Mavericks will host an NBA Draft watch party on June 25 at 5:30 p.m. as the franchise selects first overall for just the second time in history. This event will be held at American Airlines Center and will feature play-by-play announcer Mark Followill, commentator Jeff 'Skin' Wade, and ESPN analyst Ted Emrich hosting 'The MavsTV Draft Show,' according to Mike Curtis. Advertisement Multiple exclusive guests are also expected to appear on this show, including Mavericks legends Rolando Blackman, Nick Van Exel, Josh Howard, Mark Aguirre, who was selected first overall by the franchise in 1981, and Dallas Wings first overall pick Paige Bueckers in 2025. While the doors of this event will open at 5:30 p.m., the event will begin at 6 p.m. before the NBA Draft kicks off at 7 p.m. Fans looking to purchase tickets to the Mavericks' watch party can visit with the first 5,000 fans receiving commemorative Draft Day t-shirts. Tickets to this event will also include open seating, free parking, and access to concession deals, activities, and giveaways. Advertisement This event will feature the Mavericks selecting the top overall prospect in the NBA Draft, with many expecting the franchise to draft Duke freshman Cooper Flagg. Flagg is widely regarded as one of the best NBA prospects in recent memory, leading the Blue Devils to the Final Four while averaging 19.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. These performances helped Flagg win the Oscar Robertson Trophy for the National Player of the Year while also being named the Wayman Tisdale Award National Freshman Player of the Year. Flagg will team up with Mavericks forward Anthony Davis and guard Kyrie Irving, who is expected to miss the majority of the season as he recovers from a torn ACL. However, Dallas must continue to add to this roster to compete for an NBA Championship next season, with an additional playmaking guard standing out as the biggest need for the team moving forward, as previously reported by The Dallas Express.

Caitlin Clark Had Strong Words for Valkyries Fans
Caitlin Clark Had Strong Words for Valkyries Fans originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Caitlin Clark did not have the best of games in her first time in San Francisco. The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year was held to just 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting on Thursday as the Indiana Fever fell to the Golden State Valkyries, 88-77. Advertisement This was also Clark's first time to play at Chase Center, which is also the home stadium of Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. While the Valkyries might not have as strong a following as the Warriors, there's no denying that the fans have shown their unwavering support for the WNBA's newest expansion team. Clark was asked to share her thoughts on the Valkyries faithful before Thursday's game, and the 23-year-old had nothing but praise for the fans. 'These people aren't just showing up to sit in a seat and check a box of being here," she said. "They really seem like they're here to support and cheer and appreciate women's basketball. I think that's the coolest thing. "They love it and wanna be a part of it. They kinda want to be the sixth player for this team to help them win. I feel like they have done that to this point. It's just been really cool to see. Obviously, as a player, you really do appreciate that.' Clark would have loved to mark her first game at Chase Center with a win, but this just wasn't the case on Thursday night. The Valkyries turned in a total team effort to hand the Fever their first loss in three games--much to the delight of the adoring home crowd.

This will be an opportunity for Clark to get some revenge against the Valkyries and turn in a much better performance in front of their home supporters.
