After limping off the floor in the third quarter of Thursday’s preseason game in Indianapolis, Indiana Fever All-Star guard Caitlin Clark is not listed on the team’s injury report as they face Nigeria on Sunday in their preseason finale.

Clark, who played in just 13 games a season ago due to a lingering groin injury, collided with Dallas’ Alanna Smith on Thursday while attempting a three-point field goal at the 7:51 mark of the third quarter and landed hard on her right kneecap. She then converted two of three free throws but left the game and did not return.

Clark said after the game, “I feel good. I just landed on my kneecap really hard.”

The two-time All-Star put up 21 points in 16 minutes versus the Wings in a 95-80 loss.

She is expected to dress against the Nigerian team.

Clark averaged 19.2 points and 8.4 assists and buried 122 3-pointers in her 2024 rookie season for the Fever, earning Rookie of the Year and All-WNBA First Team honors. Her scoring numbers took a hit in 2025, falling to 16.5 points per game before she sustained the season-ending injury.

Fellow Fever star Aliyah Boston is expected to dress for the first time during the brief preseason. The fourth-year pro, who has averaged 14.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game in her three years in Indiana, suffered a leg injury at the end of the Unrivaled season and the team has slow-played her return.

The Orioles reinstated left-hander Dietrich Enns from the 15-day injured list in a series of pitching moves Saturday.

Baltimore also recalled left-hander Nick Raquet from Triple-A Norfolk, optioned right-hander Tyler Wells to Norfolk and designated right-hander Albert Suarez for assignment.

Enns, 34, landed on the IL with an infected left foot on April 6. He had no decisions and a 4.15 ERA across three relief appearances before the injury.

Raquet, 30, posted a 16.20 ERA in two appearances out of the Baltimore bullpen last month, allowing three runs on three hits in 1 2/3 innings.

Wells, 31, is 0-1 with a 3.44 ERA in 14 relief appearances this season. He has struck out 18 batters and walked four in 18 1/3 innings.

Suarez, 36, is 1-0 with a 3.45 ERA and one save in six relief appearances. He has walked seven batters in his last 6 2/3 innings, including four in Friday’s 7-2 road loss to the New York Yankees.

NFL: Miami no longer meets Super Bowl site requirements

Miami has dropped out of the Super Bowl hosting rotation because Hard Rock Stadium no longer meets the NFL’s site requirements, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said this week.

Miami has hosted 11 Super Bowls, tied for the record with New Orleans, but none since Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 in Super Bowl LIV on Feb. 2, 2020.

The 38-year-old venue also hosted the Super Bowl in 1989, 1995, 1999, 2007 and 2010. Before that, Miami held Super Bowls at the Orange Bowl in 1968, 1969, 1971, 1976 and 1979.

“We normally have one every five years,” Ross told the South Florida Business Journal. “Miami is not really in line for one. It’s always exciting to have the Super Bowl but that was before we had all the other events. Miami has by far the best weather. It’s in their best interest to have one here but at this point they don’t believe we meet all the requirements and the demands.”

Because the stadium added infrastructure on the property to host the Miami Open tennis tournament and a Formula 1 race every year, there is limited space on site for Super Bowl hospitality events.

“We are looking at how to make improvements,” Ross said. “I want to make the stadium always feel like a new stadium (and) we are looking at what the next phase will be and making the fan experience that much better.”

The next three Super Bowls are scheduled to take place at SoFi Stadium (Inglewood, Calif.) in 2027, Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta) in 2028 and Allegiant Stadium (Paradise, Nev.).
