Nick Wright addresses the blatant racism overshadowing a historic WNBA season.

Caitlin Clark was serious when she told reporters she would look into taking up golf in the offseason following the Indiana Fever’s playoff exit at the hands of the Connecticut Sun.

Clark will participate in The Annika’s pro-am next month. The Annika is the penultimate tournament on the LPGA Tour schedule hosted by the legendary Annika Sorenstam. She’ll also be a panelist at the Women’s Leadership Summit at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida.
