WNBA
KELSEY MITCHELL AND STEPHANIE MAVUNGA, INDIANA FEVER
Both drafted by the Indiana Fever in 2018, Mitchell and Mavunga remain teammates entering their third season in the WNBA.
Mitchell, a four-time All-American at Ohio State and the NCAA’s second-leading all-time scorer, currently leads the Fever, who are 1-2, with 51 points through three games. She was named earlier this week by fellow WNBA player Dewanna Bonner as one of the league’s five best young guns.
Mavunga has played in two of the first three games for the Fever and has scored 10 points with 14 rebounds.
Jantel Lavender is sidelined for the 2020 WNBA season after undergoing foot surgery in July, so Mitchell and Mavunga are currently the only two Buckeyes on WNBA rosters.

BUCKEYE FOR BUCKEYE. We talk Buckeye-on-Buckeye crime in the NFL, but now we've got some Buckeye-for-Buckeye trade action in the WNBA.
Jantel Lavender and Kelsey Mitchell are the two best women's basketball players I've ever seen play at Ohio State, and now we're gonna see them play together. Now, if only Katie Smith would come out of retirement...

Draymond Green says he's 'really tired' of seeing WNBA players complain about pay disparity
Here is what Green said to reporters:
"I'm really tired of seeing them complain about the lack of pay, because they're doing themselves a disservice by just complaining. They're not laying out steps that they can take to change that. It's coming off as a complaint because the people that can change it are just going to continue to say, 'Well, the revenue isn't there. So if you don't bring in the revenue, we can't up your pay.' They're going to keep using that, but the reality is, as true as that is, it's an excuse. Because everyone says, 'We support women. We support women's empowerment. We support women in the workplace. We do this for women. We do X for women. Blah, blah blah. And everyone uses it to their advantage, yet these women are not using these people who are saying these very things to their advantage."

Caitlin Clark will reportedly continue her association with Nike by signing a $28 million contract that spans eight years and includes a signature shoe.
Caitlin Clark set to sign new 8-year deal with Nike, reports say
Caitlin Clark appears to be on the cusp of setting another record.The most prolific scorer in NCAA Division I history and the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft will continue her association with Nike by signing a $28 million contract that spans eight years and includes a signature shoe.
The Wall Street Journal and The Athletic reported the pending deal, citing unnamed people familiar with the negotiations between the sportswear giant and Clark's agents.
Excel Sports Management, which represents Clark, and Nike did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press.
Clark's initial name, image and likeness deal, signed in 2022, expired at the end of the 2023-24 season.
The new deal would be the richest sponsorship contract for a women's basketball player.
Under Armour and Adidas also participated in contract discussions with Clark's team in February, according to the WSJ and Athletic. Puma also showed some interest but walked away when told the bidding would start at $3 million per year, according to the WSJ.
Clark received offers of $16 million over four years from Under Armour and $6 million over four years from Adidas, with both including a signature shoe, according to the WSJ.
Clark earned about $3 million in NIL money at Iowa with deals she has had with State Farm, Gatorade and others, according to On3.com.

Clark was drafted No. 1 by the Indiana Fever on April 15. She'll earn a $76,000 salary as a rookie.
