Payton Sandfort tore his labrum in both shoulders prior to joining OKC last season. Tonight, he dropped 25 points in his second Summer League game.
I asked him what the past year has been like for him and where his positive mindset comes from:
Iowa, you delivered one of the most powerful and emotional weekends we’ve ever experienced.
The Wave is truly one of the best traditions in all of college sports!
To the 140,000 fans who came in from 49 states to celebrate the 4th with us, thank you! We love you Banana Nation!
Doesn’t matter if it was an intentional “cheap shot” or not.. you can’t hit players above the shoulders, period. It’s very dangerous. You can’t get in a shooter’s landing space, period. Also very dangerous. Not understanding the confusion here..
@wilsonhlthcoach So grateful my parents packed my 3 sisters & I in a station wagon with a tent camper to explore the US - my husband & I have done the same for our boys! 🏕️ Please explore Utah - the national parks there will take your breath away!
@RADeMita We need to let the league know this is NOT acceptable. Heres the link to the WNBA contact. You can list officiating in the drop down. https://t.co/qHeEFHa4zq
As much as I enjoy watching the WNBA, that was one of the most dangerous cheap shots I have seen since I started following the league. The contact from Alyssa Thomas on Caitlin Clark appeared intentional and had the potential to result in a serious injury.
It is unacceptable that the officiating crew did not recognize and address the play appropriately. Player safety must always be the top priority. If the league does not take action, whether through a fine or suspension, it sends the wrong message and raises concerns about the safety of players on the court.
Caitlin Clark was producing on both sides of the floor in the first half!
She scored or assisted on 25 of the Fever's points, tied for the most of anyone in the game, and the Dream shot 0-of-5 in the first half on shots contested by Clark.
Through 13 games, Caitlin Clark has 265 PTS and 108 AST 🔥
She is the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 250 points and 100 assists in a single season, beating the previous record by three games!
The reason Caitlin Clark’s 22 double-doubles matter isn’t the number.
It’s HOW she gets them.
Most WNBA legends built double-doubles with:
🏀 Points
💪 Rebounds
Clark builds hers with:
🏀 Points
🎯 Assists
Through just 64 career games:
🔥 22 double-doubles
🔥 3 triple-doubles
🔥 12 games with 20+ points and 10+ assists
🔥 2 games with 30+ points and 10+ assists
The greatest scorers in league history didn’t pass like this.
The greatest passers in league history didn’t score like this.
Caitlin Clark is trying to do both.

@karlybird23 In the business world I tried to explain to customers & vendors from other parts of the country - I was 1st team All-State in ‘83 and NEVER scored a point! I’m 6’ - a 6 on 6 “guard” - only played defense. If I was fouled a “forward” shot the FTs & we did it all with 2 dribbles!
