Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard will ride in the two-seater — the “Fastest Seat in Sports” — for the start of the IndyCar Grand Prix on Saturday afternoon at IMS 🏁 The race airs on FOX.

An unexpected call. A camp opportunity. And a competitive fire that runs in the family. Megan McConnell’s year has included injury, rehab, and a season overseas — and now a return to Indianapolis, where the roles with her brother T.J. are reversed. www.fieldhousefiles.com/p/megan-mcco...

Updates from practice: - Lexie Hull excited about playing on Sat. "Definitely feel good, feel ready to be back. Just tightness" - Monique Billings won't practice today, giving her ankle at least four days rest - Justine Pissott is lifting, working with player development

Fever legend and Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings arrived for the start of practice, Day 10

Fever turned the page from the preseason to the regular season on Monday with a week of practice ahead of Opening Day on May 9. But their starting forward sat out. www.fieldhousefiles.com/p/monique-bi...

NEW: Pacers are sending T.J. McConnell to the NBA Draft Lottery. A grinder. Relentless. Undrafted. Now the longest-tenured Pacer. If basketball rewards energy, this is the ultimate test. www.fieldhousefiles.com/p/pacers-tj-...

WNBA teams are beginning to make cuts, trimming their rosters to 12 players. They may sign up to two players to player development contracts once they clear waivers. Of local interest, the Wings waived Grace Berger and Mercury waived Shay Ciezki — both IU products.

Pacers point guard T.J. McConnell will serve as the on-stage representative at the NBA Draft Lottery on Sunday.

Stephanie White says Monique Billings (right ankle injury) did not practice today. They have a full week before opening day on Saturday so they're being cautious.

Fever back at practice, now with the preseason complete. Game 1 is Saturday

Fever scored over 100pts for the second time in three games, close the preseason with a 105-57 win over Nigeria. They shot 54%, 19 of 21 at the FT line, and scored 32pts off turnovers in the win. Nigeria finished 0/12 from distance. Mitchell scored 17. Next: Game 1 on May 9

Fever changing up lineups to begin the second half of their final preseason game. Johnson, Walker-Kimbrough, Harris, Hines-Allen, Dantas starting the second half.

Monique Billings has been ruled out for the second half, officially with a right ankle injury. Fever lead Nigeria 70-29.

Dawn Staley will be proud: University of South Carolina products Ty Harris, Aliyah Boston, and rookie Raven Johnson on the court at the same time. Fever rolling against Nigeria, 58-25 mid-2Q.

Monique Billings, on her 30th birthday, just tweaked her right ankle stepping on an opponent's foot. She's slow to get up, and is now headed back to the locker room.

Two straight scores for the Fever closing the first quarter — with Aliyah Boston as the point-center and Caitlin Clark moving off the ball, setting the screen. Fever leading Nigeria 32-18, shooting 68%. Great balance in scoring.

Fever wrap preseason tonight with key questions: • Aliyah Boston, Ty Harris set for limited action • Lexie Hull, Justine Pissott remain out • Final roster spot up for grabs White wants better defense, urgency and cohesion in their final tune-up game. www.fieldhousefiles.com/p/fever-inju...

Stephanie White said Caitlin Clark came through last game just fine. Aliyah Boston and Ty Harris — both off the injury report — will make their preseason debuts tonight. Short stints. But an opportunity before Opening Day. No more is known yet on Justine Pissott.

On the Fever's second preseason game feat. a second quarter where it got away. Turnovers, poor defense, and a disconnected offense. It's what preseason games are for. One more preseason game & a week until opening day. www.fieldhousefiles.com/p/fever-wing...

Lexie Hull (hamstring) and Justine Pissott (lower leg) are ruled out for Saturday's preseason finale for the Fever. So Aliyah Boston and Ty Harris should get some game action vs. Nigeria.

NEW: Caitlin Clark scored 21 in her first home game in 291 days, but the Fever were outplayed by Dallas in a 95–80 preseason loss. Defensive breakdowns, rebounding issues and a rough second quarter told the story. "Just soft defensively," Clark said. www.fieldhousefiles.com/p/fever-wing...

After the Fever led after 1, it was all Wings after that in a 95-80 loss. Clark scored 21, Bueckers with 20. Starters played ~17mins. Rebounding (-18) and keeping Dallas out of the paint was an issue. Next: Preseason finale Sat. v Nigeria.

Both teams going deeper into their bench mid-3Q. Second-round pick Jessica Timmons now in for the Fever. Former IU and Fever guard Grace Berger in for the Wings. Clark (21pts) is on the bench and looks OK on the bench after the collision.

Raven Johnson living up her description of being a gnat out there — with five steals. Recovering and switching so well. A rough 2Q, outscored 36-17, has the Fever trailing 61-46 at the break. Clark has 19pts (9/10 FTs), Bueckers with 20.

This will be an instructive quarter to watch back on film. Fever's defense not getting stops — giving up too many easy buckets. And offensively, they're lacking a rhythm. A lot of indecisiveness, which isn't unexpected given the newness. They've been outscored 32-7.

Wings picked it up in the second quarter, attacking at every possibility. Outscoring Fever 22-4 in the quarter, including 15-2 in just 90 seconds. Good start, but now a challenging 2Q

Caitlin Clark has had the hot hand offensively, 14pts and two assists. Seven different Fever players have scored. They're leading Wings 29-25. Bueckers has 8pts.

Fever ruled out Boston, Hull, Harris and — new, Justine Pissott (lower leg) — for their preseason game Thursday v Dallas. Steph White: "Every day they've been adding things that they've been doing in their return to play. There's no reason right now, I don't think, to rush it."
