Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are back after the WNBA’s nearly month-long break for the Olympics.

The Fever got the second half of the season started strong with a 98-89 win over the Phoenix Mercury behind a strong performance from Clark.

The star rookie finished with 29 points, 10 assists and five boards. Kelsey Mitchell also added 28 points in the win. Clark didn’t miss a beat after the extended break, scoring 16 points within her first eight minutes of action.

Clark had a statement performance in her first game back from the break, and it reminded fans—including Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton—why she’s the frontrunner to be Rookie of the Year.

With the win, the Fever improved to 12-15 on the season and hold strong at No. 7 in the WNBA standings. After winning just 13 games a season ago, Indiana is now just a win away from tying its win total from last year.

Clark will look to continue leading the Fever to success while increasing her lead in the Rookie of the Year race.

The father of Travis Kelce is piping hot mad. He took to Facebook to post a Daily Mail article spotlighting a lyric on Kanye West’s long-awaited Vultures 2 album with Ty Dolla $ign that mentions Taylor Swift.

Kanye featured a lyrical reference to Taylor Swift’s romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. “I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce,” Lil Wayne raps on the track “Lifestyle (Demo).”

“Mental illness on full display,” Ed wrote in response.

Honestly, those lyrics are quite tame to what we have heard in the past.

Taylor Swift and Kanye West have not been on the same page for years, which started with West interrupting Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
