“Star Wars” on the basketball court as Fever and Sun scrap before Indiana wins

1 week ago | tribtown.com | Lew Freedman

INDIANAPOLIS— The Supreme Court has taken less time to make decisions than some of the official reviews referees pondered in the Tuesday night Indiana Fever-Connecticut Sun game. Of course, thorny issues or not, the Court has not been charged with sorting out proper behavior in a basketball game combined with Wrestlemania with hockey body checks mixed in for good measure.
Clark makes big splash in return to Fever lineup from injury

INDIANAPOLIS— They gave out the Tony Awards days earlier, but they should have waited a week. The return of Caitlin Clark to the Indiana Fever lineup from injury merited recognition as the Best Actress in a Drama Saturday. For sure, the scene was good theatre. After being sidelined for three weeks and missing five games, the 6-foot guard rewarded the buzzing sellout crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse with a vintage, full-package Caitlin performance.
Big turkey hard-earned payoff for a day in the woods

MADISON — When the 10-inch measurement of the turkey’s beard was announced as part of the standard post-hunt check-in procedure at Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge, hunter Jason Lewis offered his own contrast. Lewis possessed a black-and-white beard that was even longer. In any ZZ-Top look-alike contest, Lewis could have been a contender. In this case, the turkey was the prize.

The adventures of Caitlin Clark sitting on the Indiana Fever bench continued Saturday night as her basketball team thumped the Chicago Sky, 79-52, ending a three-game losing streak. The 19,496 fans who sold out the United Center in the Sky’s best-attended game ever, did not come to watch Clark sit, or stand up and root for her teammates, but that’s all they got. No shooting or passing.
As Pacers go for crown, we hear echoes of Bob Leonard and “Boom, Baby!

Probably no one would appreciate this Indiana Pacers appearance in the NBA Finals more than the late Bob Leonard. This was a guy who shepherded the franchise through early growing pains, supervised the capture of three American Basketball Association titles, and then continued to be identified with the club for years as a broadcaster.
Bonner could become key to Fever offense while guards recover from injuries

INDIANAPOLIS — DeWanna Bonner spread her arms wide and drank in the applause of a 17,274-capacity crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, her 1,000-watt smile lighting up the arena. She had hit a free throw that moved her into third place on the WNBA’s all-time scoring list and she welcomed the appreciation of all these strangers who root for the Indiana Fever, her current team, but the one for which she had scored only a handful of those points.
Shaky Fever lose three in a row, floored by injuries

INDIANAPOLIS — It is not true that the Indiana Fever is going to issue pairs of crutches to all players along with other standard hoops equipment. Not yet, anyway. But with Caitlin Clark seeking to massage an injured quad muscle back to full strength and now Sydney Colson coping with an injured leg and Sophie Cunningham trying to cure a sprained ankle, the WNBA team might have to do some hurry-up shopping for a guard. The Fever were already carrying just 11 players on a 12-person-limited roster.

LINCOLN CITY — Just in case Abraham Lincoln ever wishes to give an encore performance of that famous speech he delivered in 1863 at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, a new fancy venue can accommodate him. After three years of renovation and expansion under the supervision of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the Lincoln Amphitheatre at Lincoln State Park was unveiled recently with its shiny 2,200 seats, up from a previous capacity of 1,500.

During the recent Indiana Fever game against the New York Liberty, a roving camera projected the image of Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Halliburton sitting courtside on the overhead scoreboard. Halliburton, a regular attendee at Fever games when his schedule permits, was wearing a team sweatshirt touting the WNBA team that shares Gainbridge Fieldhouse as a home court with his Pacers. There is a solid synergy between the Pacers and the Fever that is frequently on display.
Lack of consistency dooms frustrated Fever versus WNBA champs; now Clark injured

INDIANAPOLIS — The word of the day for the sub-12-year-old Indiana Fever fans to learn was “egregious.”Coach Stephanie White employed it Saturday after the Fever lost, 90-88, to the WNBA defending champion New York Liberty at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. So, what if maybe 5,000 of the 17,274 fans in the sold-out arena were too young to understand it, they had just lived it, in her mind?
