#Caitlin #Clark #playing #basketball #career">Caitlin Clark is playing the best basketball of her career In Tuesday night’s Indiana Fever win over the Seattle Storm, Caitlin Clark was on one. Clark tallied 32 points on 9-14 shooting to go along with 7 assists and 4 rebounds, and the Fever improved to 18-10 on the season.Amid the usual litany of off-court storylines, it’s been a superb on-court season for the Fever star.Clark is averaging 21.5 points per game, the third-most in the league, and 7.9 assists per game, the second-most in the league. (In other words, no single player creates more on offense than she does).She’s also quietly upped her efficiency — in her rookie season (in which she was named to the All-WNBA First Team), she shot 41.7% from the field and 34.4% from three. In her sophomore season (in which she appeared in just 13 games due to a myriad of injuries), she shot worse, hitting 36.7% of her shot attempts and 27.9% of her threes.And, this year, she’s shooting 44.3% from the field and 35.4% from three, both career-highs. While turnovers continue to be an Achilles heel, she’s averaging fewer per game this year (4.7) than in her rookie campaign (5.6).Clark now has the 31st-best true shooting percentage in the WNBA (60.3%), which means she’s been more efficient than a long list of top guards that includes Marina Mabrey, Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray, Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, Sabrina Ionescu, Veronica Burton, Courtney Williams, and dozens of others. (Kelsey Plum, Sonia Citron, Kelsey Mitchell, Kayla McBride, Paige Bueckers, and Olivia Miles have all been more efficient, however).It still feels like there’s another gear Clark can reach from beyond the arc — she shot 37.7% from three in college — but even if that doesn’t happen, she’s established herself as one of the league’s best guards just a season removed from a campaign in which she missed time due to groin and ankle injuries.Most importantly, the Fever are winning. They currently have the 5th-best record in the WNBA, but they’re only a game and a half removed from second place, where the Las Vegas Aces currently sit. They have the second-highest point differential in the league (+6), which trails only the Minnesota Lynx. They’re averaging 95.8 points per game, which is 4 more points than the team with the next-highest points per game average (Minnesota).Clark is still just 24 years old — and will likely get a lot better before she peaks. But, as strange as it is to say about the most polarizing player in basketball, she’s quietly already having a career year. #Caitlin #Clark #playing #basketball #career

There was no medal for India in the men’s pole vault final at the Commonwealth Games 2026 as Dev Kumar Meena and Kuldeep Kumar finished outside the top three on Saturday.

Dev finished fourth with a best clearance of 5.30m which was lower than his National Record of 5.46m set earlier this year at the Inter-State Athletics Championships in Bhubaneswar.

Meanwhile his compatriot Kuldeep finished sixth with a best effort of 5.10m.

With the starting mark kept at 4.90m, Dev chose to begin his final with a height of 5.10m, which he cleared on the first attempt. The pole vaulter from Madhya Pradesh then cleared 5.30m on the first jump as well, but couldn’t clear 5.40m in three attempts.

Dev’s Statemate Kuldeep cleared 4.90m on his first attempt before following it up with another first-time clearance of 5.10m. However, he failed to jump over 5.30m in his first two attempts. Interestingly, he skipped his third and attempted 5.40m, but that too ended in failure.

Deadspin | Jose Soriano, possibly in final game with Angels, faces Brewers May 16, 2026; Anaheim, California, USA; Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jose Soriano (59) pitches during the first inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Angel Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jose Soriano can match his career high in wins when he faces the Milwaukee Brewers in the second game of their three-game series on Saturday night in Anaheim, Calif. Soriano (9-6, 3.29 ERA), rumored to be on the trading block heading into Monday’s trade deadline, won a career-best 10 games last season while also losing 11 games. It will be just his second career start against the Brewers. The first one didn’t go well. Soriano’s final start of the 2025 season came Sept. 17 at Milwaukee when he was charged with the loss in a 9-2 setback. He allowed three runs on two hits and two walks in just 1 1/3 innings and left after taking a line drive with a 107.4 mph exit velocity by Jake Bauers off his right forearm. Soriano walked off the field under his own power after that comebacker and X-rays of the arm were negative afterward, but he didn’t pitch again the rest of the season. Soriano will be sad to see the calendar flip to August after a July that saw him go 1-1 in four starts with a 2.74 ERA. He allowed just 14 hits and seven earned runs in 23 innings with 16 strikeouts and comes in off a 4-3 victory at San Francisco on Sunday where he allowed one unearned run on three hits over five innings while striking out five. “I thought he was really good today,” Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said after the game. Left-hander Robert Gasser (3-4, 4.71), who never has faced the Angels, will try to give Milwaukee the series win. He is 3-1 with a 3.92 ERA in his last seven starts with 33 strikeouts in 39 innings pitched. Gasser, who was obtained by the Brewers from the San Diego Padres on Aug. 1, 2022, as part of a trade for reliever Josh Hader, comes in off an 8-5 win over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday that saw him allow two runs on five hits in six innings with no walks and four strikeouts. Milwaukee started a stretch of 17 games in 17 days with a 6-2 victory in Friday’s series opener. Brice Turang and Jake Bauers both homered during a five-run fifth inning, and rookie left-hander Shane Drohan allowed two runs on four hits over six innings to pick up the win. It was Drohan’s fourth consecutive start of six-plus innings with six-plus strikeouts. “He was fantastic,” Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy said of Drohan, postgame. “He was in control. This is a tough lineup for him to navigate with all the righties, and he did a great job. This kid has been, I don’t know how many in a row, but this has been probably six or seven in a row that he’s been in the sixth (inning). He’s kept us in every game he’s pitched.” “Super impressive,” Bauers said of Drohan. “The guy is stone cold. He’s stone cold in the clubhouse, he’s stone cold in the dugout and he’s stone cold on the mound. I don’t know how he does it. It’s a pleasure to watch him pitch and work behind him.” -Field Level Media #Deadspin #Jose #Soriano #possibly #final #game #Angels #faces #BrewersMay 16, 2026; Anaheim, California, USA; Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jose Soriano (59) pitches during the first inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Angel Stadium.
