The hopes and dreams of the WNBA were almost dashed after Caitlin Clark went down with a concerning injury.

While the Indiana Fever were taking on the Atlanta Dream on the road, a play in the second quarter had fans holding their breath.

In the second quarter, Clark was trying to stay on her defense assignment when she suddenly twisted her ankle in a terrible way, which immediately sent her down to the ground in obvious pain.

She immediately grabbed her left ankle and had a look on her face like she thought something was terribly wrong as she lay down on the court.

She would stay on the court for several minutes before teammates, and some of the coaching staff helped her up.

Caitlin Clark let everyone know she could walk on her own as she made her way to the sidelines.

Clark likely had her ankles taped, and after missing a few plays, she would eventually return to the game in the same quarter.

Things could’ve been a lot worse, but she appeared to escape injury.

That ankle will surely be put in an ice bath for several hours.

Caitlin Clark And The Indiana Fever Had Been Rolling Since The Olympic Break

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever have come out strong post-Olympic break, winning two out of three games.

Clark, in particular, has been sensational. She delivered an incredible 29-point, 10-assist performance in the victory over the Phoenix Mercury, which was followed by her dropping 23 points and 9 assists in the win against Seattle, per ESPN.

Clark and the Fever are rolling at the right time as they enter a crucial stretch with several winnable games on the horizon.

Sitting at 13-16, the Fever need to continue to win to secure a playoff spot in Clark’s promising rookie year.

Dallas Cowboys Set The NFL On Fireworks By Dealing QB Dak Prescott To Longtime AFC Rival In Blockbuster Trade Proposal

The Dallas Cowboys kick off their 2024 NFL campaign in 15 days, and Jerry Jones still hasn’t extended quarterback Dak Prescott or wide receiver CeeDee Lamb as they head into their contract years.

Dak Prescott has one year remaining on the four-year, $160 million extension he signed with Dallas in the 2021 offseason, while the 25-year-old CeeDee Lamb is entering the fifth and final year of his rookie deal.

Some fans have started to wonder if Jones would be open to trading Prescott and Lamb. Of course, his preference is to keep both of them, but what if the Cowboys owner received an offer for his star quarterback that he can’t refuse?

The scenario seems crazy at first, but it’s not. What if Jones traded Prescott, punted on 2024 and set himself up to tank and draft a new franchise quarterback in Georgia’s Carson Beck, Texas’ Quinn Ewers or Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders next year?

One team that makes perfect sense for Dak Prescott is the Pittsburgh Steelers, who haven’t had an above-average quarterback play since Ben Roethlisberger’s last healthy season way-back-when in 2018.
