Angel Reese cheered on her teammate, Chennedy Carter, as she shoved Caitlin Clark to the ground during the Indiana Fever’s 71-70 victory over the Chicago Sky on Saturday afternoon. Nearing the end of the third quarter, Carter shoulder-checked Clark as the ball was being inbounded. Despite appearing aggressive, the referees ruled it only a common foul.
When asked about the move afterward, Carter declined to answer and only responded with “next question.” Clark said that she’s trying not to let moves like that bother her. “It is what it is,” she said. “I feel like I’m just at the point where you accept it and don’t retaliate… I’m trying not to let it bother me.”

Indiana coach Christie Sides, however, says the team will be sending the play to the league for review. “We’re just gonna keep sending these possessions to the league, and these plays, and hopefully they’ll start, you know, taking a better look at some of the things that we see happening, or we think is happening,” Sides further said. “Just more happy that Caitlin handled it the way she did. You know, it’s tough to keep getting hammered the way she does and to not get rewarded with free throws or foul calls. She’s continued to fight through that. Appreciate that from her. Really, really proud of her for doing that.” Check out a clip of the incident below.

Jake Paul has released a full video reacting to the news that his fight with Mike Tyson, originally scheduled for July 20, is now postponed. Moreover, this disappointing news for boxing fans comes amid recommendations from Tyson’s doctors that he heal from his ulcer scare before continuing full training for the bout. Organizers will reportedly announce a new date by next Friday (June 7), and fans are really looking forward to getting geared up for the showdown yet again. As for Paul, he had previously expressed a desire for Iron Mike to be at his very best for their match-up, so he’s taking this delay in stride and wishing his opponent the best.
“Obviously, devastating news, I’m heartbroken,” Jake Paul’s video response to the Mike Tyson postponement. “Speechless, like, gutted. We’ve been working so hard over here, everyone in this camp, and I just feel bad for everyone involved in this event. The whole undercard, this opportunity has been ripped from all of us. But I do value Mike’s health first and foremost. Love that guy, I have so much respect for him. I want Mike to be healthy. He says he still is going to knock me out and I bought myself some time, so Mike is still talking s**t over there.
“But Mike, if you want to do this, like you said behind closed doors, behind the scenes, you’ve said you want to do this,” Jake Paul continued. “Thank you for it, you just need a little bit of time. So, I’m ready whenever you are. This is too big of an opportunity. I think this fight is going to change the world, and I turn all my Ls into Ws. That’s a motto I live by, and the universe makes no mistakes. So let’s see what’s in store. But sorry this didn’t work out to everyone, the fans. Love you guys.”
Of course, there are plenty of predictions and theories as to how this fight will turn out. Some folks value legacy, and others are about the next big thing. It’s clear that Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are both very excited about making this happen. We wish Mike the best during his recovery and hope that an amazing bout comes sooner rather than later as long as health is prioritized.
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson has been one of the most anticipated boxing matches of 2024. Fans have been chomping at the bit to see the social media personality throw down against one of the greatest boxers to ever lace up the gloves. Unfortunately, the chomping is going to continue. Tyson’s reps issued an official statement on May 31 claiming that the boxer fell ill during a flight to Los Angeles. The event is delayed as a result, with a new date slated to be announced the first week of June. Unless, of course, Logan Paul gets his wish.
Logan Paul has joined his brother in pivoting to boxing, and seized the opportunity to throw his hat in the ring after the delay. “So Mike Tyson’s out,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “I’ll step in and we can settle this once and for all.” To further ham up the notion of a showdown between brothers, Logan Paul posted a pic of him and Jake dogging each other. It was a way to make light of the recent news. Despite Logan’s offer, Jake is taking the delay hard. He voiced his disappointment during an Instagram Live. “Obviously, devastating news,” he told his viewers. “I’m heartbroken, speechless. We’ve been working so hard over here. Everyone in this camp.”
Jake Paul went on express “I feel bad for everyone involved in this event. The whole undercard. This is an opportunity that’s been ripped from all of us.” Despite the logistical nightmare that the delay has caused, the internet personality maintained that Tyson’s health was most important. He also made it clear that he plans to fight Tyson whenever he gets the chance. “I do value Mike’s health first and foremost,” he said. “Love that guy, have so much respect for him. I want Mike to be healthy… He says he’s still gonna knock me out and I bought myself some time.” He then addressed Mike Tyson specifically, claiming he’s ready whenever the boxer is.
It sounds like Logan Paul is not going to get the replacement gig. It’s an ironic turn of events, since Logan claimed that he was initially offered the chance to fight Tyson. He discussed it on his podcast, and stated that he turned down the fight because he felt Tyson was too old. This led to a dispute between the two Paul brothers. Jake went on an Adin Ross Twitch stream and contradicted Logan’s claim. “I don’t know why he would say that,” he noted. “Like me and most valuable promotions and my partner Nikisa struck a deal with Netflix. Mike Tyson wasn’t offering people deals, so I don’t know what he’s talking about.”
Anthony Edwards has released his latest Adidas advertisement in response to the critics following the Timberwolves’ elimination in the Western Conference Finals. The star shooting guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves is one of the NBA’s most promising emerging talents. The most admirable aspect of Edwards’ ascent to stardom is that he maintains his own identity throughout his ascension. His collaboration with Adidas has elevated him even higher in the public eye. We must not overlook the fact that the shoes are on fire.
After he lost in the Western Conference finals, AE and Adidas replied, releasing a new advertisement aimed at his critics, according to Complex. In the advertisement, Anthony Edwards is shown working as a machine prints receipts that include criticism from his detractors. When Cam’ron claims that Edwards “isn’t a superstar yet,” Edwards responds by calling, saying, “F*ck Buddy.” AE declares at the conclusion of the ad that this is “just the beginning,” and he won’t be leaving. All in all, It’s a slick clapback for Edwards. Additionally, now Cam’ron has also responded.
Cam’Ron responded on his Instagram, saying, “ commercial!! Thx @adidas for the love. And I had antman back this whole time but I’ll address this Monday on the show.. love the attitude tho. Only thing I would say is get a better looking lesbian to read the receipts ” Cam loves the energy and says that he will explain the situation on Mondays It Is What It Is podcast with Mase. Anthony Edwards’s commercial is about keeping receipts, and a slight diss can be read as a massive diss and used for fuel by an athlete like Edwards.
Though the Wolves were disappointed not to go to the NBA Finals, they should be proud of themselves for beating the reigning champion Denver Nuggets. This season has shown that the possibilities are endless for this youthful and driven Timberwolves squad. If everyone stays healthy, we could expect to see the Timberwolves make another epic run the following season. Anthony Edwards is a player worth building around and has proven that he is a superstar. Overall, we like to see him keeping the same energy even in a huge loss.
It seems like Travis Kelce is going solo to the Chiefs’ White House bash. In a video that Kansas City just uploaded, he may be seen boarding a bus to 1600 Penn Avenue without seeing Taylor Swift. Joe Biden was scheduled to recognize Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, and the other 2023 Super Bowl victors this afternoon. Many had questioned if the K.C. tight end’s well-known girlfriend would attend. Ultimately, she’s taking a little vacation from her “Eras” tour dates, and according to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, every Taylor Swift fan in the office was definitely hoping to see her. However, it looks like the pop sensation is sticking overseas for the time being.
Travis Kelce was photographed traveling solo dolo as he boarded the team’s vehicle. The tight end was looking good in a tan suit and black tie. Of course, there’s still a chance that Taylor might make it there. Since none of the Chiefs seemed to be traveling with their significant others on the bus earlier on Friday, it is absolutely feasible that she took a different route to go to the President’s residence.
Travis Kelce Visits White House Without Taylor Swift
Joe Biden, in a moment of honor, will present the Chiefs with an award for their thrilling overtime victory against the San Francisco 49ers during the Super Bowl in Las Vegas in February. The head coach, Andy Reid, and the star players, Mahomes and Travis Kelce, all looked dapper in their suits. As they disembarked from the aircraft, Rashee Rice and Wanya Morris, who had also faced legal issues this summer, shared a photo together. This event marks another instance of the long-standing tradition of professional and collegiate championship sports teams being welcomed to the White House.
In the last five years, the Chiefs have won three Super Bowls. Travis Kelce and company defeated Jill Biden’s favorite football club, the Philadelphia Eagles, in 2023. She went to the game and was raised close to Philadelphia. Overall it’s par the course for the Super Bowl Champions ot make a White House Visit. All in all, it’s not surprising Taylor Swift did not show up. She would have taken away the shine form the deserving guests.
Most Valuable Productions announced on Friday afternoon (May 31) that the scheduled boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson for July 20 has been pushed back. “The upcoming highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will unfortunately be postponed,” they relayed on social media. “During a follow up consultation on Thursday with medical professionals on his recent ulcer flare up, the recommendation is for Mike Tyson to do minimal to light training over the next few weeks and then return to full training with no limitations.

We fully support Mike in taking the necessary time to allow him to perform at the level he expects of himself. Mike is expected to return to his full training schedule in the coming weeks.

“I want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time,” Mike Tyson stated. “Unfortunately, due to my ulcer flareup, I have been advised by my doctor to lighten my training for a few weeks to rest and recover. My body is in better overall shape than it has been since the 1990s. I will be back to my full training schedule soon. Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time. But in the end you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good. I appreciate everyone’s patience and can’t wait to deliver an unforgettable performance later this year.”
“I fully support postponing the event so Mike Tyson has no excuses come fight night,” Jake Paul remarked. “My fans know I don’t want to face Iron Mike at anything but his best. But let there be no mistake. When he steps into the ring with me, I will be ready to claim my W with a sensational finish. Paul versus Tyson will be one for the ages, and I promise to bring my best for this once-in-a-lifetime matchup.”

The Minnesota Timberwolves were eliminated from the playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks last night. Young star Anthony Edwards has gotten a lot of praise this postseason, but ultimately, he and his team fell short. Throughout the last two series, the Timberwolves big man duo has been under a ton of scrutiny. Some of the criticism has been warranted, citing their play at times. Nevertheless, some of the critics seem to come from personal beef. Draymond Green, who had been featured on Inside the NBA, had a personal vendetta against DPOY Rudy Gobert.
Karl-Anthony Towns was also joked about and harshly criticized by Draymond and the Inside The NBA crew. Now, reportedly, Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves decided to boycott doing interviews with the beloved basketball show. The gesture is a form of solidarity with Gobert and Karl-Anthony Town.

According to club sources who spoke with The Athletic, Edwards was surrounded by a close-knit group of players who determined as a unit that no player would be featured on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” postgame program following their victory in Game 4 in Dallas. The choice was made as a show of support for Gobert and Towns after panelist and Golden State forward Draymond Green mocked and personally attacked them. Draymond had some words for Anthony Edwards himself as well. he disparaged the star guard after his comments after game 1.
Fans have decried the addition of Green because it seemed like all he wants to do is bring up personal beef and push his own agenda. Overall, Minnesota is led by a young, outspoken star who decided to show up for his teammates. Despite their inconsistent play, it seems like the Wolves are a close-knit team. Edwards vowed that they would be back next year. All in all, he will be thinking about the loss to the Mavs all off-season for fuel.
