Caitlin Clark is back, and Indiana felt it immediately. The Fever picked up a preseason win in what the team itself called a sloppy effort, but Clark looked sharp in her return, logging seven points, four assists, and three rebounds in just under seventeen minutes of action — her first game in nine months. The rust was minimal. The upside? Enormous.
Shifting to the draft, Pittsburgh closed out Day Three with a pick that's turning heads. With the two hundred thirtieth overall selection, the Steelers grabbed Navy running back Eli Heidenreich, a player drawing Christian McCaffrey comparisons for his playmaking ability out of the backfield. Late-round fliers on elite athletes are how franchises build depth, and Pittsburgh may have found a gem.
And staying in the seventh round, Kansas City added LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier at two hundred forty ninth overall. Nussmeier's slide through the draft was one of the weekend's bigger storylines, but he lands in a winning culture under Andy Reid — arguably the best situation a developmental signal-caller could ask for coming out of college.
