Caitlin Clark sets WNBA record for most assists in a single game

Caitlin Clark has once again made headlines, setting a new WNBA record with 19 assists in the Indiana Fever’s 101-93 defeat against the Dallas Wings on Wednesday. The previous single-game assist record was held by Courtney Vandersloot of the New York Liberty, who notched 18 assists while with the Chicago Sky in August 2020. In addition to her record-breaking assists, Clark scored 24 points and grabbed six rebounds. Despite her impressive performance, the Fever fell to a 11-15 record for the season. “I just aim to set up my teammates for success,” Clark commented after the game. “Sometimes I might pass too much and end up causing turnovers when I could have taken the shot myself.” Her teammate, Aliyah Boston, expressed enthusiasm about the achievement, though she noted that Clark would likely downplay its significance.

Cavan Sullivan, a 14-year-old prodigy for the Philadelphia Union, made headlines with his Major League Soccer (MLS) debut during the club’s 5-1 victory over the New England Revolution on Wednesday.

After the game, Sullivan celebrated with his family on the field. His older brother, Quinn, a 20-year-...

Takeaways from the final night of the Republican National Convention

On a night where Republicans projected confidence about their 2024 presidential prospects, Donald Trump began his prime-time address with an unexpected moment of vulnerability. During the Republican National Convention, where he formally accepted the party's nomination for a third consecutive term, Trump opened up about a recent assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally. “I’m not supposed to be here tonight,” Trump told the audience at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum. The crowd responded with chants of “Yes, you are,” to which Trump replied, “Thank you, but I’m not.” He then shifted back into his familiar style, diverging from his prepared remarks to criticize political adversaries, celebrate the dismissal of one of his indictments, and highlight familiar crowd-pleasers in what became the longest nomination acceptance speech in modern history. Trump took pride in his administration's economic achievements and lack of new foreign conflicts, while harshly criticizing President Joe...
