It hasn’t exactly been the easiest start to the 2026 WNBA season for the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark.

After Clark missed most of 2025, expectations were high that she would return to her rookie season form for 2026. But after a strong start, it’s been undeniably an unusually shaky and inconsistent run of production for the 24-year-old superstar.

She put up more than 20 points in five straight games to the start the year, but failed to reach that level in four straight afterward.

Despite a strong performance against the Golden State Valkyries, putting up 22 points along with nine assists and 44% shooting from 3-point range, Clark’s struggled to maintain that momentum. She had five turnovers in the rematch with the Valkyries, then just six points against the Portland Fire on May 30.

CAITLIN CLARK HELD TO JUST SIX POINTS IN FEVER’S BRUTAL BLOWOUT LOSS TO FIRE

Saturday’s loss to the New York Liberty was a microcosm of Clark’s play thus far. Just 10 points on 28.6% from the field, 33.3% from three, three turnovers and five fouls. Though in a sign of her ability to contribute even when not at her best, she did add nine assists and seven rebounds.

Entering Monday, she was just 14 for 50 from the floor in the Fever’s most recent games. More surprisingly, she was just 6 of 22 on 3-point attempts.

With the Fever just 5-5, Monday night’s game against the Washington Mystics was an important opportunity to get back on track. And that’s exactly what she did.

Clark started out strong, scoring 10 points in the first quarter, going 2-5 from three. Coach Stephanie White left her on the bench for much of the second quarter, however, playing under 4 minutes total. Though she still found a way to impress with an incredible pass to find Myisha Hines-Allen for a layup.

In the second half, however, she showed off some more of her trademark shooting. With seven minutes left in the third, Clark made a 25-foot jump shot, all while Cassandre Prosper interfered with her ability to land. The foul was deemed not to be flagrant, and Clark completed the rare four-point play.

Despite the Fever opening up a sizable lead at that point, the Mystics battled back, whittling it down to just two points halfway through the fourth and one point with a minute remaining. Thanks to a loose ball foul, the Mystics took a one-point lead. But Clark drew contact in the lane, giving herself two free throws to give the Fever back the lead. She missed both.

But again, even while something is just a bit off with her shooting, she found a way to contribute. After a Mystics’ turnover, Clark found Aliyah Boston with a beautiful half court pass to make it 75-74 Fever.

The Mystics came right back, taking the lead 76-75 after a late foul. But then, the dagger. Sophie Cunningham threw a long, cross court pass to Clark on an in bounds play, and she buried a 31-footer to give the Fever the win, 78-76.

After the run of questionable performances, Monday was much closer to a return to form for Clark. 19 points on 7-16 shooting, 4 of 10 from 3, five assists and a steal. Including the incredible game winner.

With the win, the Fever improved to 6-5 ahead of their next game on Thursday against the Chicago Sky.

Kanye West drops a new music video directed by his wife Bianca Censori where she milks a giant cow in lingerie

Published

on

Kanye West, professionally known as Ye, released a new music video featuring his wife, Bianca Censori, to mark his 49th birthday on June 8, 2026. Aptly titled Gemini Season, the music video, directed by Censori, featured her sitting in front of a cow wearing white lingerie that didn’t leave much for the imagination.

As the video progressed, Censori turned around to milk the cow, before Ye walked into frame and fed his wife the milk, which dripped down her chest. In the song, Ye can be heard singing, “I wanna get kinky/ I think she’ll let me/ I think she’s pretty/ I think she’s ready.”

The description for the song’s music video, released on YouTube, also revealed that the rapper was set to release a deluxe version of Bully, adding, “BULLY DELUXE OTW 06.19.” For those uninformed, Kanye West released Bully on March 28, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart at the time.

Meanwhile, Bianca Censori wished her husband for his 49th birthday in an Instagram Story on June 8, writing, “Happy birthday @ye I love you more than life.” According to Page Six, the two were spotted enjoying a date night over the weekend in Amsterdam, amid Kanye West performing two shows at the GelreDome in Arnhem on June 6 and June 8.

Kanye West credited his wife for helping him through his “really deep depressive episode” in a January 2026 interview with Vanity Fair, which came out after the rapper issued a full-page apology for his antisemitic comments in the Wall Street Journal earlier that month.

“Toward the end of my four-month-long manic episode, my medication was changed. In that shift, the antipsychotic drug took me into a really deep depressive episode. My wife recognized that, and we sought out what’s been effective and stabilizing course correction in my regime from a rehab facility in Switzerland,” he said.


Kanye West’s Netherlands shows drew a massive crowd

Kanye West’s many controversies have not stopped fans from converging at his recent shows in the Netherlands, despite the rapper being banned in several European countries. According to Le Monde, over 40,000 fans attended his show at the GelreDome in Arnhem on June 6, even as Jewish organization CIDI fought to have it canceled.

In late May, Dutch Deputy Prime Minister Bart van den Brink announced that Kanye West’s shows would carry on as scheduled despite facing backlash from organizations and Dutch lawmakers due to the rapper’s antisemitic past, saying:

“Solid grounds are needed to bar people from entering. We have not found those in the analyses that were conducted. His past statements are not, at this moment, a reason to deny him entry.”

In March 2026, Kanye West was announced as the headliner for the three-day Wireless Festival, scheduled to be held at Finsbury Park in London in July. However, the festival was ultimately canceled in April after several sponsors pulled out amid criticism from U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who wrote on X that the rapper “should never have been invited to headline Wireless.”

This resulted in the U.K. Home Office blocking the rapper from entering the country, saying “the decision was made on the grounds that his presence in the U.K. would not be conducive to the public good.” Soon after, Wireless Festival cancelled the event, announcing via a statement on its website:

“As a result of the Home Office banning YE from entering the United Kingdom, Wireless Festival has been forced to cancel. All ticket holders will receive an automatic full refund.”


On May 29, Italian authorities canceled Kanye West‘s upcoming concert at a music festival in Reggio Emilia, Italy, on July 18, citing “public order and safety issues.” The statement added that the “overall assessment also took into account the cancellation of previous concerts by the American rapper in other countries and the real risk of counter-demonstrations.”
