A WNBA analyst lashed out at the league for the handling of Caitlin Clark and the Connecticut Sun situation. On Tuesday, Trenni Casey from NBC Boston appeared as a guest on NBC Sports.

The Liberty have seen a 29% increase in average attendance from last season, a 32-win campaign that ended in the franchise's first-ever WNBA championship. While New York has dealt with injuries to former league MVPs, first center Jonquel Jones and now forward Breanna Stewart, they are still poised to return to the playoffs.

A record deal to an ownership group would seemingly be a coup for the WNBA — the last WNBA team to have a standalone majority sale was the Atlanta Dream in 2021 for less than $10 million — but the Sun relocating under Pagliuca’s watch appears to be facing some resistance.

While the Fever have found success with Clark out of the lineup, her bond with Boston has been Indiana’s driving factor over the past two seasons. Boston recently spoke on her relationship with Clark, sharing insight into their pregame ritual with a hug and a couple of exchanged words.

The board will “provide strategic guidance on player initiatives, and elevate the overall player experience,” according to the team’s announcement.

Shaquille O’Neal’s daughter, Me’arah O’Neal, is in the middle of preparations for the 2025-26 NCAA season. She joined the Florida Gators women’s basketball team after a visit to the campus convinced her it was the right move for her collegiate career, helping the team to a 19-18 (5-11 in conference) record in her freshman season.

The Fever are 2-1 vs. the Sun in 2025. Indiana beat Connecticut 88-71 on June 17 in a game that featured altercations involving Indiana's Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham, and Connecticut's Jacy Sheldon (since traded), Marina Mabrey, Tina Charles and Lindsay Allen.

Front Office Sports added another wrinkle, reporting that the WNBA possibly wants part of the action of the transaction.
