Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark helped bring in record ticket revenue for the New York Liberty in her first game in the Big Apple. The Liberty had more than $2 million in ticket revenue for the game, a WNBA record, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to talk about the team's revenue. The game was sold out and tickets were hot on the secondary market. Clark's first three games with the Fever have been huge for attendance.

Eddie Pells, Associated Press | Posted May 18 - 2:29 p.m. | Save Story
Scottie Scheffler got off to a rough start in Round 3 of the PGA Championship, making two bogeys and a double bogey over his first four holes and finishing the front 9 in 3-over 38. Scheffler, who was arrested Friday then released in time to make his second-round tee time, started the day in fourth place after a round of 66. By the time he made the turn on a hot, humid day at Valhalla Golf Club, he had dropped into a tie for 29th at 6 under. That put him seven shots behind leader Xander Schauffele on a day when low scores were available.

Twins outfielder Byron Buxton returned from the injured list and was back in Minnesota's lineup batting fifth after being sidelined the past two weeks with inflammation in his right knee. Buxton missed Minnesota's past 14 games. He played in back-to-back games this week at Triple-A St. Paul without any problems, the final step to being cleared to rejoin the Twins. Buxton was placed on the IL on May 3, two days after his knee flared up in a game against the White Sox. The 30-year-old Buxton has had surgery on the knee in each of the past two postseasons.

Slisz's first career goal helps Atlanta United earn 1-1 draw with Nashville
The Associated Press | Posted May 18 - 2:18 p.m. | Save Story
Bartosz Slisz scored his first career goal 10 minutes into the second half to help shorthanded Atlanta United earn a 1-1 draw with Nashville SC. Nashville (3-4-7), in its first match since joining the league in 2020 without manager Gary Smith leading the way, earned the tie under interim manager Rumba Munthali. Munthali, a former Nashville player and the current player development coach, took the temporary reins after Smith was fired on Thursday. Atlanta United (3-6-5), which played without Thiago Almada and Giorgos Giakoumakis, is winless in its last eight matches. Atlanta lost its dynamic duo to injuries in last week's 1-0 loss to FC Cincinnati.

After backing out of his first Indy 500 qualifying attempt, Kyle Larson returned to the track Saturday and shot right toward the front of the provisional grid. He posted a four-lap average of 232.563 mph at Indianapolis Motor Speedway to ensure his spot in the 33-car field next weekend. He was sixth quickest midway through the first day of qualifying. The 12 fastest by the end of the day go for the pole on Sunday. Larson aborted his first attempt when his engine seemed to miss, but his team found no problems and sent him back to the track. On May 26, the NASCAR star will try to become the first driver since Tony Stewart in 2001 to complete the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte on the same day.

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority is providing a $100,000 annual sponsorship to each Aces player for this season and 2025. The sponsorship is higher than the earnings of six Aces players, according to Spotrac. The sponsorship does not violate the WNBA's salary cap because the authority did not orchestrate the sponsorship with the club. But other teams are likely to raise questions about the fairness of the sponsorship and whether it violates the spirit of the cap rules.
