She was a Sk8r girl

The GIST: Whether it was the league’s first-ever statue unveiling or an expansion logo tattoo, the W movers and shakers are celebrating the past and future. Now, let’s lock in on the present.

❤️‍🩹 Indiana Fever “hope” Caitlin Clark will make regular-season return: Clark didn’t travel to Connecticut for yesterday’s 99–93 overtime win against the bottom-of-the-barrel Sun, and has so far played just 13 of 35 games this season while dealing with injuries to her left quad and both her left and right groin. Now with less than a month ’til the playoffs, there’s still no timeline for her return.

• The news is part of a barrage of blows for the Fever, who saw Sophie Cunningham exit yesterday’s game after losing both of their back-up point guards to season-ending injuries, all while losing two of their last three games.

🇨🇦 More than 15K fans attend WNBA Canada Game: If the Seattle Storm’s 80–78 Friday win over the Atlanta Dream in Vancouver was any indication, The Great White North is so much more than a hockey nation; it’s a hoops haven. And that’s exceptional news for the Toronto Tempo, who’ll debut in 2026 with games in the Six and across the country.

🔥 Golden State Valkyries become winningest expansion team in WNBA history: Yes, the Valks lost 79–63 to the Atlanta Dream last night, but Friday’s 90–59 win over the Chicago Sky secured them a spot in the history books, giving them a record 18 Ws on the season. Now let’s see if they can become the first expansion squad to compete in the postseason. If you build it, they will come win.

The GIST: The Milwaukee Brewers’ franchise record 14-game win streak was snapped with yesterday’s narrow 3–2 extra inning loss to the Cincinnati Reds, but the Brew Crew’s rise to the top of the MLB standings is still the talk of the diamond.

• Here’s the scoop on how the “power of friendship” (and some really good baseball) has taken this underdog team from a dismal 25-28 season start to leading the league with playoffs just over a month away.

🤝 Teamwork making the dream work: While the sport is traditionally dominated by superstars, the Brewers have found magic in unexpected places. Take left fielder Isaac Collins’ rise from minor leagues toiler to National League (NL) Rookie of the Year contender, for example, or pitcher Quinn Priester’s remarkable turnaround. Milwaukee’s roster has been full of glow-ups.

• That “everybody contributes” mentality has been instrumental to this squad’s success, especially as they contend with injuries, namely to superstar outfielder Jackson Chourio.

💪 “Average Joes” display heart and hustle: “A bunch of guys nobody’s ever heard of,” as Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy put it, are getting it done without a massive payroll. The Brewers posted eight comeback victories across their 14-game win streak and lead the NL in stolen bases, a testament to the trademark grit that’s characterized their run. Young, scrappy, and hungry.

😬 Ever unleashed an in-game cheer so off-tune it sounded like experimental jazz? It happens, but even the most epic fan fails can be overcome with a handful of crackers — just ask Goldfish®.

• As an Official Partner of the WNBA, Goldfish is there for all the chaos-filled, cringe-worthy moments because every game (and handful) is an opportunity to snack-laugh-repeat. That short memory mindset is undefeated.
