Associate Coach Lauren Dillon Reveals Carla Berube’s Plan for Northwestern Basketball

Olivia Miles could hardly have found a better place to launch her WNBA career. The Minnesota Lynx might well have landed their latest franchise player. In a season of transition and transformation across the league, coach Cheryl Reeve and the Lynx have shrugged off the loss of a big chunk of their formidable 2025 team to start 5-2 and take sole possession of first place after a surgical victory over Atlanta on Wednesday.

Caitlin Clark hopes to get out of a mini shooting slump and help the Indiana Fever to another WNBA Commissioner’s Cup championship. The in-season tournament begins this week with the Fever trying to become the first team to repeat as champions. Indiana has dropped two straight games with Clark struggling from the field.

Two-time WNBA All-Star Caitlin Clark made one thing perfectly clear Monday — she enjoys playing for coach Stephanie White and anyone who infers otherwise is just plain wrong. A few minutes later, White said she also appreciates coaching Clark. Two days after cameras caught the Indiana star and the Fever coach engaged in what appeared to be a brief sideline spat, Clark and White explained the confrontation was not the result of some deep-seeded dispute but rather the result of two highly competitive women fighting to win a game.

Carla Leite scored 20 points and the expansion Portland Fire won their third straight game with a 71-61 victory over the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday night. Bridget Carleton added 13 points for the Fire, who were coming off road victories over the Toronto Tempo and the New York Liberty. Aneesah Moorow had 13 points and 13 rebounds for the Sun, who have just one win to open the season.
