WNBA needs Caitlin Clark more than she needs the league, longtime sportscaster Dan Patrick says during an appearance on OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich."

Indiana Pacers rookie Kam Jones was arrested on Monday after a police chase in Indianapolis. 

Jones, who was selected by the San Antonio Spurs 38th overall before being traded to the Pacers, was booked for reckless driving and resisting law enforcement charges, according to Marion County arrest records. 

Jones was pulled over by police around 9:50 a.m. local time, and records show he was released at 3:22 p.m. His next court date is scheduled for Oct. 23 at 9 a.m.

Jones, though, was reportedly not cooperating when an Indiana State Police officer tried to pull him over for allegedly erratic driving, per WTHR. Jones allegedly did not pull over, which led to a short chase. 

The young guard was reportedly going 90 mph on I-65, which has a speed limit of 55 mph. When Jones finally pulled over, he reportedly said to the officer that he didn’t know he was speeding, while also mentioning he was running late to Pacers practice.
