The spirit of basketball and Hoosier Hospitality converged at the Indianapolis International Airport (IND) yesterday, as a local teacher and her family enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play on the official WNBA All-Star court.

The WNBA finishes off the first half of its season this week before heading into the All-Star break in Indiana, which will be a showcase for young star Caitlin Clark.

The New York Liberty hosts the Indiana Fever tonight at the Barclays Center for an 8:30 PM ET showdown, one of the last regular season games before the All-Star weekend begins.

After the game, coach Stephanie White said, "No update, just felt a little something in her groin, so we'll get it evaluated and see what happens from there." The latest injury puts Clark's participation in Friday's 3-point contest and Saturday's WNBA All-Star Game in jeopardy.

13News' Anne Marie Tiernon recently talked with the author, sports journalist Christine Brennan. Brennan detailed a wide variety of topics, including race, ratings and referees — and believes the WNBA can do better.

At one point in the third quarter, Fever star Aliyah Boston got tied up with former league MVP Tina Charles down low. Boston hit the deck after Charles took a swing as the two were jockeying for position.
