Fans Noticed the Same Thing About Kate Martin Before Game Against Caitlin Clark, Fever originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One of the biggest storylines of Thursday's matchup between the Indiana Fever and Golden State Valkyries was the reunion of Kate Martin and Caitlin Clark. Advertisement Martin and Clark played together for four years at Iowa and entered the 2024 WNBA draft together. While Clark was selected No. 1 overall, Martin went 18th to the Las Vegas Aces. Naturally, there were plenty of anticipation for the Iowa reunion, especially since it's the first time that the two would meet each other this season. Ahead of the Fever-Valkyries game, there were unsurprisingly plenty of eyes on Martin. However, what got fans talking more about her was the accessory she was wearing prior to the contest. The Valkyries posted a video of Martin's arrival at Chase Center. While the 25-year-old was asked about "Love Island" in the video, fans were quick to notice the ring she was wearing on her left-hand ring finger.

Returning Kahleah Copper is Mercury's final piece of ‘death lineup'
The post Returning Kahleah Copper is Mercury's final piece of 'death lineup' appeared first on ClutchPoints. From the moment Alyssa Thomas and Satou Sabally joined the Phoenix Mercury, Kahleah Copper was in elite company. Together, the three of them create a death lineup that could take the league by storm. Advertisement However, Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Aces marked the first time all three players played together this season. After all, Copper missed the beginning of the Mercury's season after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. Not to mention, Thomas missed five games with a left calf issue. As a result, Sabally has been the most consistent presence on the court of the three, even with her checkered injury history. In Las Vegas, though, the three stepped on the court together for the first time. Even with Copper only playing 19 minutes, she posted 11 points and showed that her injury worries were a thing of the past. Advertisement Meanwhile, Thomas posted another double-double and had 13 assists. To make things sweeter, Sabally had another 20+ point performance in Sin City. An 8-4 record is impressive, and the team is 1-0 with Copper playing alongside her two new superstar teammates. It's a one-game sample size, but there is reason to be excited for Phoenix's future. The so-called 'death lineup' highlights versatility, elite scoring, playmaking, and a concerted effort on the defensive side of the ball. Still, more pieces to the puzzle go beyond what statistics say. Kahleah Copper is the Mercury's leader of the death lineup © Candice Ward-Imagn Images Although Phoenix has Thomas and Sabally leading in their unique ways, the former Rutgers star is different. During the Mercury's training camp, Copper's leadership was her key area for improvement. Advertisement During her time playing in Unrivaled over the offseason, there were moments of her taking control in a huddle, after a play, or simply navigating which players needed to be talked to differently. Even center Natasha Mack praised Copper's leadership ability and credited her patience in growing with her and other players on the team. Head coach Nate Tibbetts has consistently given her flowers for rallying everyone together. Even though she was sidelined to start the season, she attended every one of Phoenix's games. In huddles, she was hyping up Thomas, Sabally, and the rest of her team. The culture starts with Copper, as she and Tibbetts have a clear understanding of where the team can go. Advertisement The championship expectations within the Mercury organization are as old as the day. The franchise itself has three titles. Still, Copper has one, and the other two stars are searching for their first. An aligned pursuit of the best prize in the WNBA is at the forefront of everyone's mind, and having Copper as the clear leader throughout the journey will be a major boost. Kahleah Copper can be the Mercury's top scorer © Kirby Lee-Imagn Images While Sabally is leading the team in scoring, Copper's ability is otherworldly. She's consistent when it comes to attacking the basket and getting downhill with authority. She and Thomas will have a field day in transition. That, combined with Sabally's inside-out game, makes a true three-headed monster that's hotter than the Phoenix heat. Advertisement The Mercury's +2.2 net rating so far this season is impressive, especially when considering the number of injuries the team has had. No matter who has been on the court, the team's defense has been outstanding, only allowing 77.6 points per game. And while there has been a lack of offensive firepower at times, bringing back one of the top scorers in the WNBA will put a stamp on that side of the ball. Having a playmaker in Thomas and a dual threat in Sabally should help create wide-open lanes for Copper to get plenty of looks at the basket and free-throw attempts if she gets fouled. Her fluidity in the schematics might be a work in progress as she advances in game speed. Once that comes, the league might have to start worrying about what's brewing in the Valley of the Sun.

Paige Bueckers Gets Major Boost Before Golden State Valkyries Game
Paige Bueckers Gets Major Boost Before Golden State Valkyries Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Dallas Wings return to action Tuesday night as they host the Golden State Valkyries. The Wings are desperate to snap a seven-game losing streak, including five straight losses at home. Advertisement Dallas is coming off a tough 88-84 loss to the Las Vegas Aces on Friday night. The Wings, who have yet to beat a Western Conference opponent this season, are clearly in need of a spark. Paige Bueckers, in her first WNBA season, has been one of the bright spots for Dallas. Although she has missed four of the team's 12 games, she leads the Wings in scoring at 17.4 points per game. Dallas hopes a special boost on Tuesday night can help her and the team secure a second win of the season. On Monday, UConn coaching legend Geno Auriemma had a noteworthy announcement made about his presence: "Geno Auriemma says he'll be in Dallas tomorrow night for the Golden State-Wings game." It'll be the first time the 71-year-old head coach has attended one of Bueckers' professional games. Auriemma, who has guided the UConn Huskies to 12 NCAA tournament titles, coached Bueckers throughout her collegiate career. Advertisement His first championship came in 1995, and his most recent was earlier this year in 2025, the Huskies' first since their run of four straight titles from 2013 to 2016. Auriemma boasts 1,250 career wins as a head coach. He has been named Naismith Coach of the Year eight times and AP Coach of the Year nine times. Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers.© Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Bueckers played at UConn from 2020 to 2025. She earned several major awards in 2021, including AP Player of the Year, the Naismith Award, the USBWA Award and the John R. Wooden Award. During UConn's championship run in 2025, Bueckers appeared in 38 games and averaged 19.9 points per game, slightly down from the 21.9 she posted in the 2023–24 season.
