The Michigan football team is still working hard to secure a top 10 class in the 2026 cycle, but the Wolverines might be knocking the most important position off their 2027 checklist soon. Four-star quarterback Peter Bourque picked up a prediction to commit to Michigan on Saturday. Bourque is one of the best QBs in […]

One of the biggest question marks surrounding the 2025 Michigan football team is the wide receiver room. The Wolverines were abysmal offensively last season, and the inability to create explosive plays through the air was why. It’s hard to tell how much of the fault falls on the WRs as Michigan was far from having […]

Last year’s Michigan football team was an interesting one. The Wolverines had one of the best defenses in the country, but they also had one of the worst offenses in the country. The defense won them some big games, but with an offense that bad, it was impossible to be a true contender. Michigan knew […]

There are several restricted free agents still seeking to resolve their free-agency matters this NBA offseason. Jonathan Kuminga and the Golden State Warriors remain far apart in their discussions, whereas Josh Giddey and the Chicago Bulls have a path to a new deal. Another restricted free agent negotiating his future is Quentin Grimes with the […]

It’s been a summer of change for the Boston Celtics, as they’ve made several major moves to afford their roster. One thing that largely remained the same is the coaching staff, which was further cemented on Friday morning by a multi-year contract extension for Celtics skipper Joe Mazzulla. The Rhode Island native has led the […]

It’s only the preseason, but the New England Patriots gave their fans a good number of things to be excited about in their 48-18 win over the Washington Commanders in their exhibition season opener. Most of the Patriots’ starters also got some run in Friday’s game, while over two dozen Commanders players sat. Still, New […]

LOS ANGELES – After the Los Angeles Sparks defeated the Connecticut Sun, 102-91 on Thursday, their current hot streak reached nine wins in the last 11 games. That streak began right before the All-Star break, and it has the Sparks firmly in the mix for a playoff spot. Following the win, a game in which […]

DALLAS — Arike Ogunbowale is a four-time WNBA All-Star. Since making her debut in 2019, Ogunbowale has finished 17th or better in WNBA MVP voting each season. Arike has finished 10th or better in five of her six seasons. Yet, in 2025, Ogunbowale has not been able to find any level of consistency. Sure, Ogunbowale […]

ARLINGTON, TX — The Dallas Wings are hoping to finish the 2025 season strong. Forward Maddy Siegrist recently returned from injury, something that will provide a boost. Before Friday night’s game against the New York Liberty, Siegrist and other players were asked about their individual goals and performances for the rest of the 2025 campaign. […]

The Michigan football team has a very talented recruiting class coming in, and we all know of one freshman that is likely to earn a starting role. That player is quarterback Bryce Underwood. Underwood was the #1 overall player in the 2025 recruiting class, and he will probably end up winning the QB battle. There […]

One of the top players in the 2026 recruiting class will be announcing their decision soon, and the Michigan football team is one of the top schools. Five-star running back Savion Hiter is committing on August 19th, and the competition seems to be between Michigan and Tennessee. Hiter is the top RB in the 2026 […]

The Michigan football team didn’t get a lot of production from its wide receivers last season, so that was a big thing that needed to be addressed in the offseason. The Wolverines didn’t bring in a ton of new talent in the transfer portal, but one intriguing addition is Indiana transfer Donovan McCulley. McCulley is […]

LOS ANGELES – It’s been four games since Cameron Brink made her return from injury, and the Los Angeles Sparks have gone 3-1 in that stretch. It’s a continuing trend from the team whose current hot streak began just before the All-Star break before Brink returned to the lineup. But it can’t be overstated how […]

PHOENIX– It felt personal for DeWanna Bonner during the Phoenix Mercury’s 95-60 win over the Indiana Fever on Thursday. A plethora of storylines highlighted the game, outside of Bonner. For instance, it was Sophie Cunningham’s first return to Phoenix since being traded in the offseason. Additionally, it was Bonner’s second time playing against Indiana, following […]

PHOENIX– Not many players have the chance to play with two generational players. However, Indiana Fever forward Sophie Cunningham has had the chance to play with Diana Taurasi. In 2025, she’s playing with Caitlin Clark. Although the two players have different styles, there is a striking similarity, Cunningham pointed out before Thursday’s game. Sophie Cunningham […]

PHOENIX– For five seasons, Sophie Cunningham was a beloved figure for the Phoenix Mercury. After Cunningham was traded to the Indiana Fever in a 3-team trade for Satou Sabally, the X-factor missed her personality, on-court presence, and toughness. During her pregame warmups, she went over to a scrum with reporters. With her bright smile, she […]

PROVIDENCE — Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum still has a lot of work to do before he’s back on the court, but he’s shown progress in his recovery from a ruptured Achilles. Nowhere was that more apparent than in Providence on Thursday morning, as the 2024 NBA champion walked around the Manton Heights neighborhood without […]

Jonathan Kuminga isn’t the only restricted free agent being held up in negotiations this offseason, as Josh Giddey and the Chicago Bulls have yet to find common ground on a new contract. The main difference between Giddey’s situation and that of Kuminga with the Golden State Warriors is that all signs point to the 22-year-old […]

The standoff between Jonathan Kuminga and the Golden State Warriors has been the main talking point of the NBA offseason and free agency. Since no team in the league has cap space other than the Brooklyn Nets, and with Kuminga being a restricted free agent, his market has been extremely limited to this point. While […]

The New York Knicks made some additions in the 2025 offseason. They signed dynamic guard Jordan Clarkson, as well as burly big man Guerschon Yabusele. And they also locked up Mikal Bridges to a long-term extension and added new head coach Mike Brown. One move that understandably flew under the radar was the drafting of […]

The Washington Mystics weren’t using second-year forward Aaliyah Edwards to her full potential this season, which was an unfortunate side effect of No. 4 overall pick Kiki Iriafen’s All-Star campaign. That’s why they dealt her to the Connecticut Sun for second-year guard Jacy Sheldon and a 2026 first-round pick swap hours before the WNBA Trade […]

The WNBA trade deadline ends on August 7, and the Phoenix Mercury have some decisions to make. Although they have an 18-11 record, there might be some more additions they can make. Without further ado, here are three targets that the purple and orange could target. Jessica Shepard to the Mercury? Jessica Shepard would be […]

For the second consecutive season, sportsbooks are projecting the Brooklyn Nets to finish towards the bottom of the NBA. The team’s over/under win projection for 2025-26 opened at 20.5, tied for the second-lowest in the NBA, per FanDuel. NBA insider Tim Bontemps called tanking a necessity for the Nets while giving his over/under prediction. “I […]

SAN FRANCISCO – The greats always stress that to achieve something worthwhile, it all begins with sacrifice. For Natalie Nakase, the sacrifice is at the heart of the Golden State Valkyries’ success this season. Ahead of the Valkyries’ match with the Las Vegas Aces, Nakase expressed her pride in the fact that her players have […]

The Brooklyn Nets are embracing a full rebuild entering the 2025-26 NBA campaign. A rebuild often entails a focus on draft positioning and, in turn, losing. That’s why many analysts expect the Nets to finish towards the bottom of the league next season. NBA.com ranked Brooklyn dead last in the Eastern Conference in its latest […]

SAN FRANCISCO – The Golden State Valkyries’ loss to the Las Vegas Aces did not feel as close as the 78-72 final score indicated. The Valkyries’ offense faltered once again, shooting 39.7% from the field and 18.2% from beyond the arc, their third-worst 3-point shooting performance of the season. Here are three takeaways from a […]

LOS ANGELES – Following the Los Angeles Sparks’ 100-91 win against the Indiana Fever on Tuesday, the team pushed their current win streak to two games. The Sparks have rebounded strong after a disappointing loss to the Las Vegas Aces last week. Against the Fever, it was Kelsey Plum and Rickea Jackson who put their […]

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Sparks continued their hot streak, having won eight of their last ten games now following their 100-91 win against the Indiana Fever at home on Tuesday.

The Dallas Wings recently traded DiJonai Carrington to the Minnesota Lynx for Diamond Miller, Karlie Samuelson and Minnesota’s 2027 second-round pick. Samuelson was later waived. Will Dallas make any other moves before Thursday’s WNBA trade deadline? A source told ClutchPoints that the Wings “may” attempt to make one more addition. However, the source referred to […]

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White has accomplished a lot in his basketball career, winning everything from a gold medal to an NBA championship. Yet, the 31-year-old has failed to do something that various players across the league have: receive a technical foul. White, who’s known for being relatively mild-mannered, isn’t one to complain to the […]

Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey had a career year during his 2024-25 campaign, but his team struggled to put together wins on a consistent basis. Maxey has been hard at work this offseason improving his game, which included workouts with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. Maxey, who will be entering his sixth season in […]

Los Angeles Clippers star James Harden is in the midst of his China tour with adidas that has been nothing short of legendary thus far.

No matter how you view his career, there is no denying that Russell Westbrook was one of the most impactful and influential players of his prime era. Although he may not have won a championship, Westbrook helped redefine the point guard position, and the 2016-17 NBA MVP will forever go down as the triple-double king. […]

New York Liberty star and 2024 WNBA Finals MVP Jonquel Jones waited a long time before hoisting a championship trophy last October. She spent the first seven seasons of her pro career with the Connecticut Sun in a tenure that included two WNBA Finals losses — including in 2019 to the Washington Mystics in a […]

All-star guard Brittney Sykes is the Washington Mystics’ leading scorer, but that arrangement never made sense long-term. That’s why the team dealt her to the Seattle Storm on Tuesday, two days before the WNBA Trade Deadline. The Mystics shipped out the 31-year-old for a 2026 first-round pick, forward Alysha Clark, and guard Zia Cooke. They […]

PHOENIX– Ever since DeWanna Bonner re-signed with the Phoenix Mercury, some thought she would take a step back. However, no one on the team felt that way, especially head coach Nate Tibbetts. He was as ecstatic as anyone to bring on an established veteran, champion, and top player in league history. Bonner posted 18 points […]

Brooklyn Nets forward Terance Mann enters the 2025-26 season as the oldest player on a rebuilding squad. The 28-year-old will be relied upon to set the tone on the court regarding toughness and physicality. He may be drawing some inspiration from MLB altercations during the NBA offseason. “Can we start clearing the benches like MLB? […]

The Boston Celtics have kept busy this summer, moving around multiple key pieces in order to circumvent the second apron. And although Massachusetts native Georges Niang was hoping to prove himself in Boston, the forward was dealt to the Utah Jazz before he had a chance, departing on Tuesday afternoon as part of a salary-dumping […]

PHOENIX– All it took was a little bit of encouragement. At least that’s what Satou Sabally experienced during Tuesday’s 82-66 win over the Connecticut Sun. “I got to experience the family culture here and I felt like I had just tremendous support along some rough days,” Sabally said postgame. “I think it’s just going beyond […]
